Imagine (Shola Ama song)

"Imagine" is a song by British R&B singer Shola Ama, released in 2004 as the lead single from her third album, Supersonic. The song, written by Shola Ama and produced by Teo Bishop, represents a departure from Ama's earlier soul and R&B sound, incorporating elements of dance-pop and electronic music. Lyrically, "Imagine" deals with themes of escapism and dreaming of a better life, offering a hopeful and optimistic message.

The single achieved moderate commercial success, charting in the UK Singles Chart. However, it did not reach the same level of popularity as Ama's earlier hits, such as "You Might Need Somebody." The song received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its upbeat production and catchy melody, while others criticized its departure from Ama's signature sound.

"Imagine" was accompanied by a music video featuring Shola Ama performing the song in various futuristic and dreamlike settings. The song was performed live by Ama on several occasions following its release and remains a part of her discography, showcasing her willingness to experiment with different musical styles. While not her most commercially successful single, "Imagine" provides insight into Ama's artistic evolution and her exploration of different sonic landscapes.
