Warning by A-Kay

Few songs from 2017 have held their ground as well as Warning, a track that keeps finding new audiences. The music, composed by Snappy, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by A-Kay is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. Hearing Warning without thinking of a talented ensemble cast is almost impossible for anyone who has seen Warning.

2017 marked the release of Warning, and Warning was the track that ensured the album would be remembered. There is no right time to listen to Warning. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

The 3:28 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. For anyone yet to hear Warning, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
