Fort Wayne, IN Rapper A Certain Energy Shares His New Single/Video "Fake Love"

Shain Richard Romanowski, better known by his stage name A Certain Energy (ACE), is an Asian-American rapper based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was introduced to music by his father who took him to studios back in Saipan. His father used to record ballads ranging from acoustic, rock, etc. As time went on he molded ACE by providing him with lessons on how to control his diaphragm as well as studying other artists through their performances.

ACE is making it clear he doesn’t have time for “Fake Love” with the release of his new single. After being in the industry for over a decade, ACE is no stranger to the stumbling blocks of being a successful artist. ACE expresses the pitfalls of loneliness and lack of support while still trying to achieve one’s goals in “Fake Love.”

The beauty behind “Fake Love” is not just it’s explosion of emotion, but the slow steady thumping beat will make anyone’s head sway. ACE’s swift cadence flows out as he rawly admits “chose diamonds/because I’ve been moving by my lonely man.” Hi-hats and heavy kicks help set the pace while ACE harmonizes “got no time for fake love” repeatedly. With the song’s uniqueness, there are still elements of modern hip-hop with ad-libs including a signature “brrr brrr” hidden in the vocals throughout different bars. “Fake Love” skillfully relates to anyone feeling like the underdog, while still maintaining the craft and aesthetics of a radio hit.

The music video for “Fake Love” is directed by Amir Hussain, owner of Sight Beyond Sound, who also directed the “Foreign” music video. The hype around “Fake Love” comes directly from ACE’s debut track “Foreign” which trended on Underground Hip Hop Blog, Buzz Music LA, and more when it initially released.
