“Wingman” by Fiona Amaka is one of those songs that stays with you long after the final chord fades. Released last year, the single quietly made its mark on Spotify and social media, drawing in listeners with its emotional warmth and clean, guitar-driven sound. Featuring David Taro, who also co-produced the track, “Wingman” captures a kind of chemistry that feels effortless but real — the kind that comes when two artists trust their instincts.
The song began as an acoustic love ballad that Fiona often performed live before deciding to give it more punch. You can still hear that intimacy in her vocals, but the fuller production brings new energy. The layered guitars shimmer with that jangly, echo-filled tone that recalls classic indie rock, while her soulful voice keeps the emotion grounded. The balance between simplicity and texture is what makes it so engaging — you can feel every word without it being overdone. “Wingman” isn’t about flashy romance. It’s more subtle — an honest reflection on connection, timing, and the push-and-pull of love. Fiona’s delivery gives it sincerity, as if she’s letting you in on something personal.
It’s no surprise that the track caught attention when it first dropped, but it feels like it deserves another spotlight now. Fiona Amaka’s sound — that blend of rock, soul, and folk — continues to evolve, but “Wingman” stands out as one of her most genuine releases. It’s heartfelt, real, and beautifully crafted.
