aimi' new single "Soulmate" will be released on Wednesday, November 4. "Soulmate" is a song about an emotional and spiritual connection with someone special, celebrating a relationship built on mutual respect for each other's lives while supporting one another as they ride their own waves. Warm, laid-back acoustic soul, built around guitar sampling, blends with aimi's playful melodies. Inspired by the ancient belief that soulmates are two halves of a soul that was once whole, the song expresses the desire to continue walking through life together for years to come. The track is produced by Modesty Beats, who also produced aimi's previous release, "SUN."
