Highly acclaimed Belfast based artist and producer, Adam Booth, known by his moniker Amerik, has joined forces with the insanely talented Sasha Samara to release the single 'The Real Thing', a pop-fuelled anthemic daydream.

Dancing over a bed of carefully curated twinkling synth and driving beats, sasha's mesmerising vocal lends this track a cinematic element. Soaring string-like elements bring magic to the track. It would only seems right for this track to be featured in the next big rom-com or Heartstopper type series!

The lyrical content is so heartwarming, the perfect for that highly anticipated first kiss kind of track, that gives you shivers down your spine. "I thought it couldn't be done/But I think I've found/The real thing now..."

Amerik & Sasha Samara

A quickly growing fan pool, critical acclaim from top publications, and regular airplay under his belt, Amerik has solidified his 'artist to watch' position. Collaborating with an exciting new voice in indie-pop music is an excellent move for Amerik. Belfast artist Sasha Samara combines Maggie Rogers style vocals and a more classical sounding tone to create incredible, excellently placed notes, compiling into goose-bump enducing art.

This track marks the first of three highly anticipated singles featuring local Northern Irish artists Amerik is set to release over the coming months. This exciting collaboration promises to showcase the incredible musical talent emerging from the vibrant Northern Irish music scene, and has certainly achieved that with 'The Real Thing'.

Speaking about the upcoming project, Amerik expressed his excitement, stating: "Working with such incredible talents from Northern Ireland has been a truly inspiring experience. Each artist brings a unique perspective and energy to the table, and our collaboration has resulted in something truly special. I can't wait for the world to hear these singles."
