About Qarreo
QARREO is the music duo consisting of Filipino singer/songwriter Amore Be and American drummer/percussionist Joshua “JB” Benson. The word Qarreo means 'courageous' and 'of good cheer' (a.k.a. 'good vibes'). While launching in 2020, overcoming fear has emerged as a natural theme in their songwriting.
Pulling from different influences, their sound is a dynamic blend of both of their musical backgrounds, fusing sounds of rock, blues, electronica, hip hop, dub, and reggae.

About "Let Me Stay"
Qarreo's new 2020 single featuring guitarist Blaine Dillinger, of the reggae band, Hirie
Co-produced by Jon Cunard, Blaine Dillinger, and Sergio Sanchez.
This song is about overcoming fear in a new relationship. After putting up walls from being hurt in past relationships, Amore Be wrote this song about her own journey towards allowing her heart to love again, from running away from it, to saying "Let Me Stay."
"Pushing people away, or running away was my go-to signature move, until I realized it was actually a self-sabotaging defense mechanism. I wrote this song about my own personal journey towards allowing myself to love again amidst my fear of commitment and relationships in general."— Amore Be
Let Me Stay Lyrics:
This is the time
When my heart would've run away
Afraid of being in a vulnerable place
Stay in this place
Is what my heart keeps tellin' me
It's okay to let him in, it's okay to be happy
So how do you do it
How do you hold my heart so well
Like you got me under a spell
In the chaos
You are my peace
In your embrace, let me stay
Take my hand
We'll chase our dreams together
How hard can it be
We've danced in the rain together
You know it's real
You know it's somethin' really special
When everythin' else just don't make sense
Still your love is so intense
It's amazing
It's amazing
It's amazing
What love can do
To you
