"He ain't enough for me"
Knocking over men
Well, hardly
You a thief
Imma get you a preacher
She likes them aubergines
Choking over, ain't it funny?
All I see is a cheap silly pleaser
Stabbed me in my back
Nitpicks to confuse me
Betrayed my faith
You had me crying like a new born child
Showing how easy it is for you to cut me off in the end
Can't help to blame but you
Had me so confused
I tried
Keeping it serious
I ain't trying to fool around
So close hitting the sun
Can't be bothered chasing
Cuz you showed me all your fatherless love
Tell him to love you
Keeping it serious
I ain't trying to fool around
No more wasting my time
Many left cuz we see the truth
Don't want to get involved
Go deny them facts
"He ain't enough for me"
Knocking over men
Well, hardly
You a thief
Imma get you a preacher
Can't get enough of him?
Sipping every drop while crawling
All I see is a greed
On their knees
Bleak, be so real
Showing body to feel seen
Always have been adding bodies to feel needed
She likes them aubergines
Choking over ain't it funny?
All I see is a cheap silly pleaser
Clapping in their beds
Wake up with just you there
Taking off your skirt
Way to go, you'll have him
Begging him to stroke your thighs
Tried to read your mind
Baptism ain't gone be enough
Help you to fight it
(Demons inside)
Cuz you act so brutal
I'm keeping it serious
I ain't trying to fool around
So close hitting the sun
Can't be bothered chasing
Cuz you showed me all your fatherless love
Tell him to love you
Keeping it serious
I ain't trying to fool around
No more wasting my time
Many left cuz we see the truth
Don't want to get involved
Go deny them facts
"He ain't enough for me"
Knocking over men
Well, hardly
You a thief
Imma get you a preacher
Can't get enough of him?
Sipping every drop while crawling
All I see is a greed
On their knees
Bleak, be so real
Showing body to feel seen
Always have been adding bodies to feel needed
She likes them aubergines
Choking over ain't it funny
All I see is a cheap silly pleaser
"He ain't enough for me"
Knocking over men
Well, hardly
You a thief
Imma get you a preacher
Can't get enough of him?
Sipping every drop while crawling
All I see is a greed
On their knees
Bleak, be so real
Showing body to feel seen
Always have been adding bodies to feel needed
She likes them aubergines
Choking over, ain't it funny?
All I see is a cheap silly pleaser

Aubergines
Ámina
E
R&B singer Ámina has released her new single, "Aubergines" This mid-tempo track blends the lush soundscapes of 90s slow jams and 2000s R&B with a beat sensibility influenced by post-drill music.
While featuring smooth chord progressions, ethereal synths, and dramatic developments, the beat has been reconstructed with a contemporary low-end sensibility. A defining characteristic is how the tightly driven rhythm and heavy, sinking bassline inject a sharp tension into the romanticism of classic R&B. The sound design, which balances sweetness and coldness, is a defining element of this track.
The lyrical themes revolve around desire, dependency, the need for validation, and broken relationships. Ámina portrays emotional turmoil and betrayal not merely as a love song, but as the emptiness lurking within modern relationships.
Her vocals shift between a whisper-like delicacy and a steely core, creating a dark and intense atmosphere throughout the track. "Aubergines" is a decadent and sensual track where a deep love for classic R&B intersects with a contemporary sense of rhythm.

Artist Profile
Ámina
Ámina is a Tokyo-based R&B singer with roots in Japan and Sudan. Her musical journey began in childhood, immersed in 80s old-school pop, R&B, and jazz. In her teens, she gravitated toward alternative UK rock, and since moving to Tokyo, she has been deeply influenced by 70s disco and black music. Leveraging her deep vocal range and distinctive timbre, she is a frequent performer across the Tokyo music scene. Her "one-of-a-kind" sound is a sophisticated fusion: anchoring her style in the rhythmic precision and scat techniques of black music, while weaving in vocal textures inspired by her love for UK rock. Alongside her live performances, Ámina has recently focused on producing her own original material, establishing herself as a compelling artist to watch in the coming years.
