‘Justified (Cosmic)’ is Fiona Amaka’s attempt at an ambient RnB-infused folk track that succeeds in being calm, relaxing and chill. Its lyrics are from the perspective of someone who’s asking their ex-lover for another chance. Guitars and a light rhythm give the song a sense of longing, as our lover makes this tentative yet firm request.

‘Justified (Cosmic)’: Ambience & Narrative
‘Justified (Cosmic)’ is every word you can’t say, every feeling and emotion, weaved into a song that sounds as light as a cloud. The lyrics describe a chance encounter that seems to spur these thoughts of reconciliation.
“…Yeah, I’m getting on alright.
But seeing you the other night,
Well I know I’m on your mind.
But, we both say we’ve moved on.
Bet you never thought you’d hear me say,
Hold my hand once again…”.
These lines set the basis for the emotion that tries to cut through the calm and help set the mood.
The song is slow, with a sedate guitar melody leading leisurely percussion through the soundscape. The vocals follow in this manner, unhurried and calm, each element keeping pace with others. All this culminates into a flow that carries the listener along, helping keep them steady while the song’s story unfolds.
‘Justified (Cosmic)’ reminisces on chances lost, simultaneously acknowledging what led to the relationship’s end while asking for that second chance. The narrator seems to recognise that there’s still an attraction there, even though their lover’s guard might be up.
“…Behind your shielded eyes, I can see sparks still fly…”.
The assertiveness in these lines is juxtaposed by the song’s calm, chill soundscape. These contrasting moods seem to help highlight the song’s story in an interesting way.
‘Justified (Cosmic)’ by Fiona Amaka tells an engaging story with a soothing soundscape. Its flow helps draw the listener in, the narrative and soundscape keeping them under.
