about

“There is no beauty but in relationships. Nothing cut off by itself is beautiful. Never can things in destructive relationships be beautiful. All beauty is in the creative purpose of our relationships...”
~Ayi Kwei Armah

Keyboardist-composer-bandleader Mausiki Scales proceeds with a new single celebrating his beloved -Talibah. The single, “Amplify”, is an inside story of their heartfelt journey of devotion, purpose and relationship. "Amplify" provides the “joy of the journey” - feeling with a musical outlet.

"Amplify" is the 3rd single from the upcoming album release "WestWest Africa" - which takes you on a soulful musical journey throughout the African diaspora.

lyrics

Amplify

This story we write
Love’s never denied
It’s our war cry
It is the bottom line
Knew from the start
That we’ll amplify
Amplify, amplify

We walk in this life
It’s so profound
Where to put the silence?
Where to put the sound?

Life is movement
We’re on the move..

Ayoluwa,
5:59am, This is the part where I ask you to brunch
You said yes! So quick-step to sweet potato hash
Alas, hand in hand
We navigate the smooth waters together
We navigate the rough waters together
Working around the roots of the mangrove trees
Always knew we could be
Now here from a dugout canoe
We get to see what we can do
And your hat, it looks great on you
Yeah it looks great on you
