Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

Habits are powerful forces that shape our behavior, often in ways we may not even be aware of. The book "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg explores the science behind habit formation and how we can intentionally shape our habits to achieve our goals. One example that Duhigg uses to illustrate the power of habit is the song "Hey Ya!" by OutKast as a tool for habit formation in the context of a football team. In this essay, I will examine the use of "Hey Ya!" as a habit-forming tool and explore the broader implications of intentional habit formation for individuals and organizations.
