“Power” with Clarissa Carter isn’t just another R&B duet; it’s the thesis statement of Keep That Energy, where equations about labor and love collapse into one undeniable truth: desire has gravity.

The production glides in smoothly but is charged. Kuma self-produces with a precision that reflects his physics brain without sacrificing feel. The beat pulses like a steady heartbeat under neon lights, silky synths sliding across the mix while the low end hums with late-night tension. It soothes and stimulates at the same time. You’re floating, but you’re locked in.

Kuma’s cadence is rhythmic and grounded, a conversational flow that sounds like someone thinking out loud about priorities he’s been dodging. His voice sits in the pocket, calm but intentional, while Clarissa Carter arrives like a voltage spike. Her tone is glossy and haunting, wrapping the hook in a kind of hypnotic clarity. When they declare the song’s central mantra, it lands less like shock value and more like reclamation, a reframing of intimacy as power, not distraction.

What makes “Power” hit harder is the context around it. This is the sequel to Are We Working Enough?, a project obsessed with overwork and the illusion of productivity as love. Here, Kuma flips the formula. The quote “Spend it on you now… I’ve been working overtime and afterhours” reads like a confession from someone realizing success without presence is hollow. The track becomes rehabilitation for a workaholic mindset, arguing that devotion to a partner is as vital as devotion to ambition.

Clarissa Carter’s genre-blurring instincts add cinematic depth. Her background in electronic soul and dark pop bleeds into the atmosphere, making the chorus feel widescreen and intimate all at once. It’s seductive, but there’s intelligence underneath the sensuality, a meditation on where energy actually belongs.

“Power” isn’t just a slow-burning R&B record. It’s a philosophical pivot disguised as a late-night anthem. Kuma and Carter turn pleasure into protest against burnout, and in doing so, they make one of the most conceptually sharp love songs in recent memory. - Buzz Music
