The Amours Get Real, Raw, and Personal in Acoustic "Don't Deserve" Video
Acoustic performances leave no room to hide—no auto-tune, no flashy production, just raw talent. If an artist can deliver here, they can deliver anywhere. Jakiya Ayanna and Shaina Aisha, the sisters that make up The Amours, are certified singers and their voices prove it.
The acoustic rendition of their single “Don’t Deserve” has been my latest R&B obsession and the accompanying video performance only makes it better. Set in a cozy, ultra-feminine pink bedroom setup, the sisters perfectly capture the vibe of a girls’ night in. Shaina stuns in a long lavender tulle dress, while Jakiya complements her in a similar blush pink gown. The aesthetic is personal, raw, and relatable—just like the song itself.
The lyrics sound like a conversation you just had with your best friend where she finally saw the light about the romantic partner that’s been doing her wrong. Lines like “You lost me with your games / If I can’t have respect, then I would rather walk away” feel like they’re pulled straight from a diary and immediately pull you in.
What makes this acoustic version so special is how it strips away all the extras and leaves you with the purest form of the song. The Amours’ harmonies are flawless, weaving heartbreak and resilience into every note. Their voices have a way of reaching deep into your soul and making you feel every emotion that inspired the song to be written in the first place.
It’s not just the performance that’s captivating—it’s the intimacy. The R&B duo created a space where vulnerability feels safe, like you’re sitting in that pink bedroom with them, sharing stories and singing through your own heartbreak with a glass of wine or maybe even a margarita in your hand.
