Please Find Me Girl Single Review

Listening to Riqi Harawira’s new song Please Find Me Girl the first thing I noticed is the really well produced clean acoustic guitar playing in harmony to Riqi’s voice which is a brilliant way to start a reggae song with a tasty blend of Blues, Jamaican Reggae and solid syncopated rhythms. 

Riqi seems to be singing to a beautiful woman that he is absolutely infatuated with. Singing about how wondrous and beautiful she is and how Riqi is anticipating the moment he can be united with this beautiful woman. I particularly like the lyric “Please find me girl, Walk into my soul” which vividly gives me the impression that he has very strong romantic feelings towards her. 

This song consisted of an upbeat, strongly accented drum, a deep synthy bass, a very well recorded clean acoustic guitar and a nice touch of synth/keyboard behind the mix which was nicely put into four beats to the bar.

Despite the fact that this is a really catchy song and i found myself singing the chorus “Please find me girl” in my head on the way to uni. I feel as if it wouldn’t hurt Riqi if he ventured out a little and did something a bit different throughout out the song. The chorus gets repeated quite a few times. 

I also feel as if the song sounds incomplete with that ending. It seems as the song was at peaking moment then suddenly fades out in a matter of short seconds. If it weren’t for that fade out and instead a different ending I would of thought of it as a fully completed song. 

Otherwise, I do like this song. It’s catchy, it’s home grown and it’s surely a nice song to listen to out in the sun.
