Amor’s new single, “Wishful Thinking,” arrives just in time to soundtrack the summer with its vibrant mix of rhythms and emotion. A danceable alternative R&B gem, the track is drenched in the silky textures of smooth vocals, carried on a wave of trap, dancehall, soul, and lo-fi house influences. It pulses with the kind of upbeat energy that invites movement, but beneath the surface, there’s something deeper unfolding.
“Wishful Thinking” isn’t just a summer jam—it’s a reflective look at unbalanced love. Amor opens up about the disillusionment that comes from expecting more from a partner, missing the effort and attention that once made the relationship feel right. It’s that emotional push-and-pull between holding on and wanting more for yourself. The track captures that moment of clarity where you start to prioritize your own needs, even if the beat keeps you swaying.
The production is immersive and atmospheric, with a dreamy, almost nostalgic feel layered under Amor’s emotive performance. There’s a playful edge to it that keeps the tone light even as it explores heavy themes. It’s the kind of song that feels just as right on a solo evening drive as it does filling out a rooftop party playlist.
Amor has a knack for merging genre and feeling—his unique blend of alternative R&B and electronic textures makes “Wishful Thinking” a standout addition to modern soul and alt-pop playlists. With this release, he’s not just giving listeners a song—they’re getting a mood, a mindset, and a groove all wrapped into one. “Wishful Thinking” dropped on June 6th, and if you haven’t already added it to your summer rotation, it’s time to change that.
