Sounding like some enchanting mix of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and Lana Del Rey, Amalia has enchanted me with her latest single “Silly Cliché.” Her voice effortlessly moves through the swirling kaleidoscopic sound she’s created here. That’s a pretty off-the-wall description, but take a listen and I swear it’ll make sense to you.
“Musically, ‘Silly Cliche’ whisks you back to the 70s, blending swirling psychedelia with modern pop allure,” Amalia explained. “It’s a song about the overwhelming feelings of the early stages of a relationship and the hope the feeling never fades.”
Can you believe this is only Amalia’s second release? The sky’s the limit for this Naarm/Melbourne-based talent. I’m obsessed and can’t wait to hear more.
