Queensley Agharese Okoro's “Weak Love” Is a Brilliant Declaration of Desire

Queensley Agharese Okoro Strikes Deep Emotional Chords on New Single “Weak Love”

There’s something achingly honest about Queensley Agharese Okoro’s new single “Weak Love” something that makes it impossible to dismiss as just another entry in the crowded Afrobeats love-song ecosystem.

The Benin-born songwriter, best known for her co-writing credit on Sokid’s “Woman,” returns with a preview of her forthcoming EP Layola. And if “Weak Love” is anything to go by, she’s gearing up to deliver one of the most emotionally resonant projects of the year.

Vulnerability as the Core Ingredient

“Weak Love” operates in that delicate space where vulnerability meets melody. Built on a mid-tempo Afrobeats foundation, the track is carried by soft, attentive guitar riffs that wrap themselves gently around Queensley’s voice.

What sets the song apart is its radical honesty. She doesn’t hide behind metaphors or coded emotional language she walks straight into the confession booth.

On the chorus, she sings:

“Boy I am falling, falling for you again, because you scatter my brain, e dey high me like cocaine.”

It’s raw, dizzying, and deeply human the kind of admission many feel but rarely articulate.

A Bridge That Cuts Deep

The emotional apex of the record arrives on the bridge, where Queensley lays down her guard completely:

“I need you to love me back, hold me tight, don’t push me back… play no games, just you and I.”

The repeated plea “love me back” echoes like the internal monologue of anyone who has ever wanted reassurance more than pride.

The production supports this vulnerability without overwhelming it. The guitars offer a slightly melancholic counterbalance to the urgency in her words. The mid-tempo rhythm leaves enough open space for her vocals to breathe, shimmer, and settle, instead of being swallowed by heavy percussion or crowded arrangements.

A Rising Artist Finding Her Voice

Queensley’s artistic evolution is striking. With “Woman,” she proved she could craft compelling narratives for others. With “Weak Love,” she proves she can live inside those narratives herself and deliver them with conviction and emotional maturity.

There is intention in her artistry, a sense that she’s building a catalogue rooted in emotional truth rather than algorithmic trends.

A Promising Glimpse Into

Layola

As anticipation builds for her EP Layola, “Weak Love” positions Queensley Agharese Okoro as an artist unafraid of soft declarations and emotional transparency.

In an era where much of Afrobeats is designed for instant impact, Queensley is choosing a different path one that prioritizes songs that grow, age well, and mean something long after the first listen.
