There’s something about a track like this that just makes you stop full pause. No skipping, no background noise—just me, stretched out on the bed, glass in hand, soaking it in. Taquirah’s “I See” isn’t some overproduced cry for attention. It’s a down-tempo, poetic, acoustic R&B love song that whispers instead of screams—and that whisper lingers.
She’s singing to her crush, and it’s confident and sensual. The guitar’s stripped back, the rhythm sways slow, and her voice—rich, warm, just a little raw—pulls you in and keeps you there.

When she opens with “Oh I seeeee / I see it all in my dreams,” we’re watching everything unfold through her eyes. There’s no chaos or drama—just the spiritual, no-bullshit clarity you get when you’ve done the work and you know exactly who you are and what you want.
Taquirah isn’t here to chase anything. “Don’t chase / attracting gold / No problem / I’m leaving hoes.” Yes, babe. Manifestation energy, with receipts. She’s done playing with distractions. She’s got her sights locked, her heart set, and the dream is already in motion. I’ve been there too—where it’s less about wanting someone and more about already knowing they’re yours. You’re just giving them the space to realize it.
But here’s the twist: this isn’t just some “I want you” type of song. It’s a full affirmation. “I know I’m so priceless / So precious so timeless / I’m like a classic / I’m back to back.” Like, girl. Yes. The way she weaves in her own worth without apology? Obsessed. That’s what makes this so sexy—it’s a love letter, sure, but it’s also a flex. This isn’t desperation. It’s desire with boundaries. Intimacy with standards.
Taquirah is a performance artist out of Illinois, and you can feel that movement background in how she delivers the song—it’s lyrical, but there’s a rhythm to the way she sings, like she’s choreographing with her voice. She pulls from jazz dance, gospel, blues, pop, neo-soul, and R&B, and it shows. Nothing about this feels boxed in. It flows like breath.

There’s also this little moment of vulnerability that hit me hard. “Some days I was drowning / Saw I was the problem / I conquered that.” That line isn’t dramatic, but it cuts deep. We’ve all had those mirror moments where the only thing in our way is…us. And the way she owns it—then transcends it? That’s growth. That’s sexy. That’s power.
By the time she’s repeating “Oh I’ve seen / And it’s real to me / I had it all in me,” it’s not even about the crush anymore. It’s about self-realization. About standing in the truth of your vision. She’s not waiting for someone to claim her—she already belongs to herself, and that’s what makes her irresistible.
“I See” isn’t loud, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s intimate and assured, like the low voice that makes you lean in closer. It’s dreamy, but grounded. Romantic, but rooted. And I don’t know about you, but I’m always down for a love song that reminds me how fucking powerful it is to want someone—but never forget that you’re the prize.
