Even in a world of constant connectivity and a dizzying supply of music, it’s rare for two of your favorite artists to work together, and that really offers hope. Luckily for general fans of Dua Saleh and Amaarae, “fitt” has it for you. Each artist takes up a lot of different space. Saleh is non-binary, born in Sudan, originally from Minneapolis and experimenting with dark, dense elements. Amaraae was born in New York, but now lives in Accra, Ghana, and is known for her cute, Afro-fusion beguiling combination. No matter what, each shows amazing diaspora ingenuity, and when together, their cooperative force is unmatched. The beat for “fitt” evolved over three minutes to match the strengths of the artist’s verse, balancing the fleshy drums with the ethereal strings of the harp. Everyone is on the track demanding attention. The real beauty is that they share this attention equally.
