Taquirah’s newest single, “Rush Acoustic,” is a breath of fresh air in a world where everything seems fast-paced. The Illinois-based singer-songwriter’s mellow neo-soul offering encourages listeners to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of moving one step at a time.
“Rush Acoustic” is straightforward yet jazzy, with smooth, warm vocals, and is a love letter to the notion of taking your time with life or love. It’s about the connections we forge along the way, feeling what we do when it feels right without the added pressure that our moments at that point should mean something. Taquirah’s soft-spoken voice leads us on this gentle reminder, painting an oceanic soundscape that feels as warm and snug as a heartfelt talk with a dear friend.
“Rush Acoustic” is a jazzy, warm love letter about not feeling the need to rush being in love. This song is about a willingness to wait.” On a day when we feel pressure to rush toward the next milestone, “Rush Acoustic” arrives as a beautifully reassuring reminder that genuine connections take time, and that’s perfectly fine. Whether hanging out with friends or developing a romantic relationship, the track reminds listeners to take a break and enjoy the moment.
The single’s lush instrumentation, including smooth guitar licks and a soft swing, provides a vibe that’s half ruminative, half intimate. The song’s leisurely tempo reflects its message, providing a strong background for Taquirah’s emotive delivery. “Rush Acoustic” pleads for a way of life that embraces patience, understanding, and love in the purest sense. It encourages patience, weathering through the storms, and allowing love to develop organically instead of forcing it into malleable shapes of today’s quick-paced expectations.
With “Rush Acoustic,” Taquirah not only encapsulates the beauty of love and life but also provides a soulful reprieve from the rush. Her music reminds us that the best things in life often come to us when we don’t expect them when we get out of our way and let life just be.
