Writing R&B Hooks That Stick
How I build a hook from a single phrase: melody shape, where the space goes, and how to tell when it is finished.
Amara Vale
Singer and songwriter out of Atlanta. I write slow-burning R&B about the hours after midnight, and I play every set with my own keys. Four years of residencies, two self-released EPs, and a lot of learning in public.
