Sweeten My Body by Jamar Rogers ft. Òlah Bliss: Raw Honesty, Wrapped in Satin

Jamar Rogers and Òlah Bliss don’t dabble in sweet nothings and clichés, and even with an upbeat tempo, Sweeten My Body digs deep.

It’s a track that wrestles with self-doubt and the aftermath of rejection, yet emerges defiant, urging you towards the dancefloor of self-acceptance.

Jamar’s crooning hits with immediacy: “Left out, off course/forgot myself again…”

His vulnerability isn’t weighed down by the vibrant instrumentation; it’s a stark contrast that makes the determination towards self-worth hit harder.

Òlah’s distinct vocals shine, a soulful counterpoint to the introspection: “I was drowning in shallow waters/But I never even seen the ocean.”

The beat is the track’s not-so-secret weapon. It’s dynamic and infectious, mirroring that pulse of resilience that grows stronger with every line.

Individual styles converge beautifully; Jamar’s vulnerability finds its echo in Òlah’s strength.

And when those harmonies intertwine, it’s magic—those mirrored reflections transform into a boisterous celebration of self.

Sweeten My Body isn’t background music. The lyrics read like a crumpled diary page, but set against a soundtrack that demands movement.

Yet, as the bridge hits, you sense a shift. Not saccharine, but defiant,“I look to the Most High when I’m low/ But how low can I go/ before I fall too deep/And say they can’t have my soul.”

This song grabs you. It’s an invitation to the messy and glorious work of learning to see yourself when the world looks away—and then busting some moves as you find your strength.

Sweeten My Body reminds you that self-love can be sweat and sparkle, all rolled into one.

About the release, Jamar Rogers says, “I wrote this song after getting stood up for a date. All these feelings of inadequacy and shame came over me until I remembered that another person’s actions don’t get to dictate how I feel about myself. So I went to the mirror and starting telling myself how dope I am. How strong and resilient I am.”
