An Eclectic Mess
Though from elevation to lesser the tracklist takes u.s.a. on a journeying that may not take been linear in real life, and sonically reflects a broad and wild range of man emotion, the LP never feels untethered.
This is a true body of work, and the concluding element tying it together is the cover art, which is inspired past the iconic American painter Mark Rothko— who, similarly to Two Feet, used brainchild and experimentation to channel and evoke emotion from those interacting with his work.
To experience the angry, ecstatic, sexy, sensitive and messy trip that is Shape & Grade, you can listen to the new album today.
Bluish Hour Lasts A Long Time In Hamond'south World
"I just believe that there'south energy watching over us, and that comes through in that song. And once yous start looking for patterns and numbers in the world, and then you start to run into them more. Which is patently something that's very talked nearly nowadays, simply it's true. It goes to a deeper thing where it'south like when you're open to seeing things in the earth, then they come to you to y'all." says the singer.
On a sunny day in California, role had the opportunity to encounter upwardly with Hamond in Silver Lake Park, his favorite park to talk all things music.
So you grew up in Houston, did your parents inspire any of the music you grew upwards listening to?
Yeah, definitely. They had very reverse tastes of music. My mom was very much into disco, Earth, Wind, and Burn, Michael Jackson, Sade, and my dad was very much archetype rock, Beatles, Led Zeppelin. And I went through and so many phases of music, because of that, which I'm really really glad because at a certain point, it was just trying to culminate all the different, reverse genres, that I've been listening to all my life.
Are your parents from two unlike places, is that why they have unlike music tastes?
Non actually, they're both from the Midwest. My mom's from Chicago, and my dad's from Detroit, and then, not besides far.
Taking from each of those sides, how did you go into music?
Well, it was on my mom'due south side, art was her large thing, but music and her family, my grandfather played in the Chicago Symphony, and my uncle was a conductor. It was all classical music leaning, for certain. But only being around that equally a child, and then I just started picking up instruments, and trying to exercise bands, simply I was also controlling every bit a child, to be in a ring, "No, play information technology this way."
What's your sign?
I'yard a Pisces.
Oh actually? I experience similar Pisces, aren't that controlling, maybe they're just item?
Yeah. I don't know signs that well, just I was talking to the guy that does my hair. I was similar, "Yeah, I'm a Pisces, I call back my girlfriend told me I'm a rising Leo." He was like, "Oh, that'south where the controlling part comes in."
So you lot were in a ring, how old were you?
This was in center school, and it lasted maybe a month. Only information technology's funny considering I was at this bar two weeks ago, you know Zebulon? Just I was walking outside of the bar, and some guy came up to me and was similar, "Brian Hammond. You were in a band with Jackson Beasley in 7th grade, and we were adept friends."
I was like, "Oh, that'southward crazy. I don't remember being in a ring." Just that fabricated me call back back on it again, and how bad I was at being in a ring because I just couldn't let people do their own thing. That'southward when I realized I had to practice my ain affair. Well and then I started— I got a MacBook, when I had my bar mitzvah, in 7th grade. So when I had my bar mitzvah, is when I got Garage Ring on a computer, and then I started producing. Then I started producing for rappers in loftier school, and so I was secretly singing in my room, but not letting anyone know.
Doing covers on YouTube?
Yeah, there you go. And and then I started singing on some of the hooks, then information technology got to a point where I was like, "I don't want to do this. I desire to make my own music." And and so it just transformed into that.
Do you retrieve the kickoff song you made, and what it was chosen?
Yeah, it was called "Feel It," makes me cringe now thinking nigh it. My parents loved it. They were similar, "That's a hit!"
Wait, what did it sound like, and what were some of the themes?
There were no themes, I was 14. I was just like, "Oh, these sound similar some cool words that go over this stuff. Tin you experience it?" Oh my God.
Well, on the opposing side, practice you remember the first song you made where you were like, "Okay, I could exercise this music thing professionally?"
Yeah, I think and so. Information technology was probably when I was 18, it was this song called "Keys," that I posted on SoundCloud. Only yes, that was one that was the first song I made, that was my own, not me producing for someone else, or me featuring on a hook, or something, it was like this is fully my art, my project.
And so you made the side by side song that you thought was practiced, and what did y'all learn from the first song that you brought into the adjacent set up of songs?
I don't know, it was a long time ago, it's hard to call up. I know now with each song, maybe non with each song, just with each era, it'south stepping back, and being like, "Okay, this got improve, but peradventure I demand to hone in on..." With this adjacent era that I'm going into, it's almost looking at it as a full collection, art, or fashion collection. Ane of my friends, Lisa, who I worked with, as a managing director, on this video that is going to come out, she went to fashion school. We were just talking about how the first stride to whatsoever project is the research stage, and how I'm in this phase correct now of pulling all the sounds I like, and inspiration I like. So that and then once yous go into the phase of making the actual music, you have these boundaries that you're trying to be inside.
What were some of the specific resources you were looking at when you lot were doing inquiry?
My whole goal is to try to combine genres that were really inspired by electronic music, UK Garage, and old drum pockets of that kind of sound, but make it more musical, and alternative. So I was listening to a lot of Stereolab, Broadcast. I've always loved Pharrell and the Neptunes, chords, and jazz. Only so trying to match it with these electronic textures, the whole idea with this projection, Pirate Radio, was classic future vintage, if that makes sense?
What is the pinnacle of utopia in a audio for you? If there'south a song or a specific chord you lot like, what is that? How are you trying to chase that perfection?
Man. This is going to audio crazy, just the chord progression of "Senorita" past Justin Timberlake. That's and then fucking crazy. Every fourth dimension I go back, and mind to it— and I learned it on the piano, I call up like, "How did Pharrell come upward with these chords?" And then just the pocket of it, and the style the melody comes in on it, is simply so perfect, that is one. Stereolab has this vocal chosen, The Flower Called Nowhere, the chord progression on that, and it's in a super weird time signature. It's just things that are like, "How the fuck did they retrieve about that?" There'southward a few of them, I'm sure, I can't think most it off the acme of my head, but those are a couple for sure.
Did you see the documentary with Pharrel, and Justin, where they were making Senorita?
Oh yeah. Justified? The amount of times I watched that equally a loftier schooler, my play count on that is probably a 100 each, split up, I think at that place'southward three 30-minute videos on YouTube, that I watched over, and over, and over again. Aye. They don't have him making that Senorita, though.
Yep, what song was it?
They did, "I Love You." I remember "Rock Your Body." And "Let's Accept a Ride" aged the best out of that.
So with your new projection, can you paint the sonic landscape of what you're putting out?
Yeah. Well, I started to touch on it, matching electronic textures with vintage textures, so we used a lot of analog equipment, and I wanted this project to exist very musical in the sense. A lot of times electronic-leaning music isn't very musical. Aye. And so trying to take influences from that, but still have information technology rooted in alternative music, musicality, using live instruments, pianos, guitars, and then we used tape machines on a lot of stuff. They give it a super analog, retro texture. At that place's this interlude on the project, chosen "The Credit," And that whole matter was printed to a tape machine. And then there's a pitch cycle on the tape auto, and I played around, moved it, and then you can hear it, manipulating information technology. And it simply sounds more human, than it would if you were in the software programme, drawing information technology in. Well, the whole theme of the projection is, information technology's called "Pirate Radio." Exercise you know what pirate radio is?
It's like Uk garage?
Yep. Well, it's it started in the Great britain, but information technology started with the classic rock era, where the radio wasn't playing what people— or what the youth wanted to hear, pretty much. So they would steal the broadcast, hijack the radio station, and play their own radio, the music they wanted to hear, onto it. And then it just turned into United kingdom electronic music, and that whole globe, but it's pretty much people in their bedrooms running their own radio station with all this equipment.
And so, me and TJ, TJ is similar my executive producer I practise everything with, we were referencing that whole feeling and the spirit of that. And how when we make music, it's like we're in my bedroom, or in our studio where nosotros're tinkering with things, and where it'southward just the two of us, we're running a radio station. And then leaning into that with the mode the music is made, using knobs, and equipment, all that shit.
Have you always hijacked whatsoever parties trying to DJ?
No, simply that is what we're trying to practise with that. And then I really desire my first shows for this projection to exist — We're talking virtually finding abandoned office spaces, and warehouses, and pretty much edifice out what pirate radio looks like with all this equipment, making it an art piece, and so doing a bear witness there, that would turn into a rave after it. With Charles, my other roommate, he is a crazy DJ, and has been launching this thing called, "Cheers For Sweating Out Here." Which is going to be hole-and-corner Raves, pretty much, and he would help put that on.
What got you into UK garage? Was it from your dad?
Non really, I hateful, neither of my parents were really into electronic music, that was after their fourth dimension. Yes, I don't know, I've always loved electronic music, but skillful electronic music. I fucking hate EDM music, merely it's called fucking fist punk, bro. It started with Daft Punk, and so information technology just escalated into getting into Aphex Twin. And this whole world, that all of the electronic music I was actually liking, was coming out of the UK. They're just so much amend at information technology doing it in a tasteful way. It'due south a certain way that British people are able to contain electronic music, and not brand it fucking corny.
Simply y'all know why that is correct?
Why?
There'due south a big theory nigh people in the UK existence really good at art considering their environment is highly depressive. So the theory is that people here making art in America is not as great, as deep, and more surface level is because we take a lot to expect at, a lot that's stimulating.
At that place'due south definitely something to that. I remember my favorite time we make music is when information technology's cloudy, and raining out. Yep. I'm trying to live in London for a while, at least do a year at that place, or something. But January is my favorite month in LA because people retrieve information technology's sunny all the time, but in Jan, LA is cloudy and rainy. Probably one-half the days of the month, and that's when I make the best music.
Yous accept this evangelical and spiritual hue to your music. You released "Angels" on the date 02/22/22, and your newest song is called "Angels." Can you talk virtually the spiritual elements y'all experience, and put into your music?
Yes. Well for the start single "Angels," obviously information technology'south directly tied to, that'southward what the whole song is about. Just I don't know, I don't want to get too deep into my religious relationship with God. I'm trying to figure out how to practice it without information technology, just I'm not agape to talk near it. It's really just a thing of, I don't know exactly what I'k comfy with saying. Simply I do believe in a higher power, and my dad, when I was a kid, would e'er tell me, and my sis, that we had specific guardian angels designated to us, and mine was named Chester. I all the same talk to my guy Chester upwards there, but I don't know, I don't believe in information technology in such a literal sense, only I believe in the college power. I only believe that in that location'due south energy watching over usa, and that comes through in that song. And in one case you lot showtime looking for patterns and numbers in the world, then you outset to see them more. Which is plainly something that'south very talked about nowadays, just it's true. It goes to a deeper thing where information technology'due south similar when you're open to seeing things in the world, and so they come to you.
Do you have that same arroyo to making music? Are y'all open up to whatever sounds or ideas come, to you, even if that's non the program you had for that day?
Well, that is 1 thing about music, that's why the inquiry phase comes in handy. You try not to be too methodical about it. That's one thing, with me and TJ, is when we piece of work, it's all simply how we feel. Merely it's, "Let'due south become this idea out. Let's do this." And then once nosotros're not feeling it, permit'south go to the next one, and come back to it. And going with the energy of the room, and how it makes you feel.
The methodical part is y'all do it beforehand, where yous attempt to figure out what yous're trying to do, in general. Then you go in with that, in your subconscious, and so you lot make information technology with that in mind. But yous have to allow the energy flow when yous're doing it in person, otherwise, yous just disrupt the whole— you finish upwardly being like, "Oh no, no, no. We need to get this perfect." There's energy in the imperfections, it makes information technology more man.
What you would tell your younger self about making music now?
That's a really good question, I'm really thankful that I don't really regret —I made a lot of pivots throughout beingness a kid of like, "Oh, I like this. No, I similar this." and jumping around. But I never would've gotten to a point where I would want to create something totally new that combines genres, if I hadn't gone through those phases of trying to practice so many different types of music. Then I would probably merely tell myself, "Keep going child."
Were you ane of the kids like upward all dark on Reddit, or looking for music?
Yeah. Well I was upwardly all night making beats, that's for sure.
Were yous selling beats?
No, I tried to, at one point, it's just such a soul-sucking thing to like, "Oh yeah, I'm going to brand these beats that random rappers across the world would like?"
Pierre-type beats?
"Type beats" are the worst. I merely remember I was such a huge Kanye fan in loftier school. And when this documentary dropped, it reminded me of what it was similar because I was staying upwards waiting for information technology to come up out. And I remember staying upward belatedly, waiting for "Good Fridays" to drop. And being on forums most gear certain producers would apply. And it's like a rabbit pigsty that you go down with similar, "Oh, I wish I had these things that these producers I look up to, or artists I look up to have, or employ." And and then it's such a cliche to be like, "Oh, you lot don't need those things." Simply y'all really don't need shit, you just need your ideas and your own self.
But so that goes hand in hand with making music for yourself and selling music. Take you been hesitant about getting an executive producer, signing with a characterization, and getting a marketing team, if that might take away from the truthful artistry of your music?
Aye. I remember in the commencement couple of years, I had spent coming out to LA, and then somewhen moving here. I mean it's obvious, merely the manufacture in LA is then gross. I mean, but there's a great side to it also. So you lot merely find your bubble, but in one case I found my chimera of people that I desire to be surrounded by and just stick by, then it's like you lot cake all the other shit out. And in one case you have that, it made me realize that similar, "Oh, there's certain ways people encounter music, that I don't want to take to exist associated with, at all." Not associated with, or simply work with because I don't want those opinions on my music, the style I look at information technology now is like, "Am I going to be happy with having this out in 10 years?" Or when I'm older.
Wow. I've never heard anyone talk about that, the longevity of their music in that sense.
That'south the motivating force for what route I want to go, what I desire to put out now, with this projection. And going forward from at present on is like, "Am I going to be happy with this being out when I'm quondam?"
If you could have one person living or dead review your music and requite you lot a critique, who would information technology be?"
Pharrell is one. I was going to say Paul McCartney. And Guy Manuel or someone from Daft Punk.
Why would y'all want Pharrell to critique your music? What advice would y'all call back he would requite you?
The way he hears chords, and I'chiliad just curious what he would say like, "Keep doing that." I only admire him, the affair nigh Pharrell, is that he has such a distinct sound. When you hear a Neptunes beat out or a Pharrell beat, you can, most of the time tell if you lot know the sound?And my goal with this next era, and a petty scrap with this project, but even more and so, probably with every projection, is to almost put a picayune more boundaries on places you can get musically. So that I can brand every bit cohesive, and identifiable of a sound as I can, and I'grand curious how he did that.
That's true, because I tin can ever, no thing what song it is, I'm similar, "Pharrell produced this." Simply with other people, I know sometimes Timbaland, like people can hear that.
Timbaland is super identifiable, not as the Neptunes, merely a lot of it comes from liking chords. It changes everything, seriously. Both Tyler and Pharrell employ jazz chords, major, pocket-sized seven, which is something I've always gravitated towards. There was this vocal, it'south an quondam classical song that uses major, and modest, seventh chords. And I was learning classical music at the time, then I heard that, and I immediately pivoted to jazz music because I was like, "This is so much amend." It just feels like, it's a dissimilar feeling.
I love jazz, it's so boundless. I feel like people are very pretentious with the way that they love jazz, merely it literally is simply like the scope of all music that you hear, all of it has jazz elements in information technology.
Aye. It'southward literally there'due south no incorrect to it. Jazz is the well-nigh human part considering every bit we were proverb, humanism is embracing the mistakes of it. Jazz is so technically wrong, but information technology'due south so it just feels right.
And Paul McCartney?
Oh yeah. Merely him equally a songwriter, I'm curious about his process in how often they wrote songs with the Beatles. And how I call up hearing they would go in, and but write a vocal a day, or multiple songs a day, and then go to the studio, and hammer them out. It was like sometimes yous can go likewise caught up in trying to make the perfect song, simply it's clear the way they were doing information technology with how much they churned out, it was similar they weren't thinking as well deeply nigh it. I'm just curious on how he approaches songwriting.
If this was Brian's earth, what would information technology look like? What are the rules? What's going on? What is the background music, at all times? What IS your ultimate utopia?
I want to run across a city where— it probably wouldn't piece of work logistically, just I want to see a city where the whole priority is everything looks cute, and architecture is the priority, and arts is the priority. Imagine walking through a city where all the buildings were congenital to be interesting, or pleasing, and all work together.
Simply isn't that the guild we live in at present? Nosotros're so caught up in the beauty of everything, and that comes in with capitalism, as well, because y'all're trying to sell beauty? We're all then obsessed with the beauty of everything.
I don't recollect then because and so think about how much stuff is built just to make money, or just because it'south practical. Manifestly, not everyone is an artist, simply I will imagine a world, or a city, where everything was built with art in mind, and that'due south the priority. And then I don't know, you walk into a fucking Target, or a grocery store, instead of them playing fucking former Michelle Branch, they're playing cool new, someone's curating it. And information technology's like, "Oh this is a cool song. What is this?" And everywhere you lot go, is just good curation in mind.
Okay. Is the sky a sure color, or non?
I similar blue. The simulation'south kind of beautiful. Perchance blue 60 minutes would be extended by three hours, I love blueish hour, but it just lasts five minutes, I wish it lasted like an hr. Blueish hour is right after the sunset goes down, or right earlier the sun comes up, where the sky isn't orange yet, merely everything is similar dusk bluish.
Big Girls Do Weep: On Music and Emotional Release with Amelia Moore
Keep reading for office'southward full interview with Amelia below, where we discuss her next project, emotional freedom, and why the color orangish has impacted her life and then profoundly.
I read that you lot gained a love for music past singing with a choir when you lot were young. That is a very passionate and prideful type of music. What skills or lessons did you bring with you from your choir days to your music now?
Amelia — Wow. That'due south a really good question. I grew upwards singing in church pretty much from 4 years old until I left for college at 17. In that location wasn't that much technique involved. I feel like there isn't, in church singing. It'southward kind of simply similar, 'If yous experience called and the Lord wants you to sing, you're gonna sing,' correct? I just really, really fell in honey with singing and being on stage in general. I've taken a lot of inspiration from choirs, in full general, into my music. Fifty-fifty whenever I'm writing my lyrics today — without fifty-fifty realizing the influence of church and biblical references that I grew upwardly learning — those things just seep their fashion into my lyrics and into my writing now, which I love. It was such an important part of me growing up. I took less of really learning how to sing from growing upward in choir and more than of simply being inspired by the sound and I'm very interested in using information technology in my music today.
I remember that's kind of a natural progression likewise. These things from your past detect their way into your music without it even being intentional, which is the instance for a lot of artists. I want to talk about something else that you lot did when you were younger — you played violin, right? I read that you quit after a time because of feeling like it was a scrap besides restrictive. What practise you experience like singing and piano provide you that violin didn't?
I started playing violin when I was four or v and I played for virtually seven years. Initially, I only wanted to start playing because my older sister was, and I simply wanted to exist like her. Just and so I started to get actually practiced. And as you said, you know, the violin is a very technical instrument. Yous're learning somebody else's music, you're learning how to be in position correctly, and you're learning how the person who composed their music wants you to play it. That was interesting to me for a while. But and so equally a kid, I didn't even know how uninspiring it was and how uninspired by that I was. I remember existence pretty young and trying to write my own songs on violin and I took one of them to my violin instructor and played it for him. He was similar, 'Oh, okay, that'due south absurd. And so let's go back to practicing sheet music.' I only got actually bored with it. Quitting was really, really difficult because my parents loved hearing me play so much. Toward the last couple years of me playing, I definitely felt like I was just doing it to brand them happy, fifty-fifty at such a young historic period. But as shortly as I quit, my dad bought me a light-upwards Casio keyboard and it felt like absolute freedom. There was no sheet music. There was no technique. I wasn't in lessons. I was literally just learning everything past ear or from YouTube or from the buttons that would literally light up on the keyboard. It was just fun. And I could do whatever I wanted; at that place wasn't somebody telling me to practice for nevertheless many hours a twenty-four hour period. I could practice equally long as I wanted for any I wanted. I started writing songs on piano when I was eleven or 12. I merely remember watching pianoforte tutorials on YouTube for One Direction songs. That's how I started learning and didactics myself piano and I still write on the piano today.
I love that yous learned One Management songs because I literally was obsessed. I had a One Direction Tumblr — I was one of those girls.
I was a Directioner for sure. Still am.
So now to come from all of that to only recently coming off your tour with Fletcher — that's so amazing. What was your general overall experience touring with her?
These Fletcher shows were my commencement big daughter, full ring with rails shows. The offset show that I played in LA was a little acoustic set at The Hotel Cafe. Information technology wasn't even my own show. I was only playing a set with a couple friends. Simply the Fletcher tour was absolutely insane. Information technology was the best commencement tour I could accept ever imagined. I'm and then fucking thankful that she invited me to be a part of that tour. I remember the first show in San Francisco, I was then, and then, so nervous the whole day. Oh my gosh. I but remember feeling like an accented, crazy person. I was freaking out, but only seeing everybody, as presently as I got upward there, was the most surreal feeling in the entire world. I'm also so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to get on bout when I have such little music out. I basically got to tour my EP that'due south about to drop before anyone's heard information technology and run into what songs the audience reacted to. It was such a great experience. And I'yard so thankful, for sure, and excited to become back on the road.
Did yous have one song that you really liked performing or a vocal that got the best crowd reaction?
I call back the crowd favorite consistently every single night was this song called 'Over My Ex' and information technology'due south non even on this upcoming EP, it's gonna come up out soon subsequently. Simply it was the 2nd song I played and I made it a drinking game for everybody. And then my intro into the song was, 'I need yous to potable every fourth dimension I say the give-and-take ex,' which was a lot of times in this vocal. So people were only really engaged and interacting with it, which felt actually good. Then I'1000 excited to put that song out afterward this summertime.
Getting that oversupply reaction has to be incredible. I tin encounter it at present, even with your hair color, that the colour orangish plays a big function in your personal style and in your life. If you lot had to assign a color to your aura, would it exist orange or would it be a unlike colour?
I think information technology would definitely even so be orangish. Orange is the color of creativity and energy. I feel like I desire to go along those things very close to me at all times. I experience like they already are. Only, I don't know — maybe my aura is a dissimilar color. I should figure that out. I do feel similar it's orange though.
I have a feeling it might be orange too. Through my deep dive, I also institute that y'all've mentioned that you lot see your earth in orange. But aside from the colour orangish, what else characterizes Amelia's world — what does Amelia's globe look like and feel similar?
Amelia'southward world is not only orange, but also extremely emotional and vulnerable, and silly and playful. Sonically, I've been experimenting with some more hyper-pop sounds recently — then very vivid and loud. But I also beloved being inspired past more R&B song performances. So information technology'south also silky and smooth and sultry at times also. But also e'er-changing, similar the sea. I love existence diverse in the music that I make. I besides love writing for other artists and experimenting with different genres and not keeping myself in a box. Simply there's a lot going on in Amelia's earth. I'm wearing this infirmary gown right at present, just for the fashion — just to experiment. Amelia'due south world is likewise full of fashion. I'm really excited to prove all of the looks that nosotros just shot in this music video. Simply my earth is merely continuing to aggrandize and abound every bit my fan base does. I'grand really excited to show everybody all of these different sides of who I am in my artist project.
I can't await to run into the video that you're talking nigh right now, too. While we're nevertheless talking about the color orange, I found that y'all accept shown some love for something else orange — that I also hold close to my heart, which is Frank Ocean'south Channel Orange anthology. That album impacted my life so deeply. Was it an impactful album for your musical process too?
Frank Body of water's music was merely and so pivotal for me. Listening to him for the first time was merely absolutely life-irresolute. But, I volition say, the first album that really rocked my world was Justin Timberlake's 2022 Feel. I didn't really heed to that much secular music growing up, because I wasn't really allowed to. I was very sheltered and homeschooled and religious and my parents kept me from a lot of popular culture. Merely that album was ane of the offset secular CDs that my mom ever kept in the car considering she'due south such a Justin Timberlake fan. I retrieve listening to that for the first time, but being similar, 'Holy shit — these harmonies, these drums!' All of the songs on that album are too so long. And they each take extended versions of the radio versions of each song itself. It was simply and then inspiring to me. That was definitely the first album that made me realize, 'Wow, I want to do something similar this.' And I'm still very inspired past that album today.
And you tin can really hear those influences in your music besides. There are so many layers to it and it'southward a really dynamic listening experience. Another thing, aside from your personality, that characterizes your persona is your Instagram handle — Icryatwork. I experience similar the girls who become it, get it. Sometimes you simply need to have a practiced cry. What's your favorite identify to cry in?
Wow. There are so many unlike places. I feel similar a spot that always hits is in the car or just in bed or in the bath. Those are iii go-tos. I volition say though — only as a little sneak peek well-nigh this music video that I shot this by weekend. While we were shooting, I was in this super intense moment and feeling the lyrics and I just completely, in the middle of the shoot, started total out sobbing. That's probably gonna make the terminal cutting. Then, besides, I weep on-set of my music videos. That might accept the number one spot actually.
Yeah, I think that has to be number 1. That'south a expert i — a very niche one.
Yeah, very, very niche. I'm really excited to see how that video comes together.
On a similar note, y'all spoke before about being actually in tune with your emotions, which I recollect is and then important for emotional growth. And I think that through your music, you tin can sense that this is someone who is really in touch with this side of themselves. Practise yous see your music as an emotional release?
Absolutely. My start EP happened because I needed to release and experience all of the emotions that I was going through. That's honestly the main reason why I started writing songs so young — I was just feeling and then many unlike means near and then many different things. I was growing up and I didn't wanna talk to anybody virtually it. So I would just sit downwards at the pianoforte and write the worst songs about how I was feeling. It was very therapeutic and has e'er been very therapeutic. It felt like a healthy fashion of processing. I made this whole next projection with some of my best friends, and so music has always been and will always be for me a really salubrious outlet. I'm so lucky to have this medium, where people can hear what I write and also know that they're not the only ones that feel that way.
Yep, for sure. Information technology's a personal, emotional release, but it has to be incredible to put your feelings on paper and know that it resonates with other people too.
Just getting information technology on the folio feels great. And then it's like, 'Okay, wow, I got that one off my breast.' Something that I've constitute that'south really funny is that sometimes I'll write a song because I need to listen to myself more than. Y'all know, whenever you're listening to a vocal and you're like, 'Oh my God, I feel that.' I'll literally do that with my ain songs. So even writing it to process my ain feelings is a function of my artistic procedure.
Totally, that makes sense. It'due south this thought of the music being a release, but in this case, it also tin can bring clarity. I'm certain sometimes you don't even know what you're feeling then you listen to a vocal or write one, and it's like, 'Oh, that's how I'g feeling.' I actually think that's super profound. What was the general inspiration backside your latest track, 'Crybaby' and the corresponding video?
'Crybaby' is so special to me and I wrote it with my friend Jackson Lee Morgan and my producers Iverness and Pink Slip. I knew I wanted to write a song chosen 'Crybaby.' It's very on- brand. I've been wanting to make a carol in 6-eight for a long fourth dimension too. I was going through this abrasive, stupid breakup and I was feeling every unmarried line of what we wrote and writing information technology did not accept long at all because of how intensely we were feeling these emotions. It happened very naturally and seamlessly. We wrote information technology and I kind of already saw in my head, 'Okay — one thousand pianoforte in the pelting.' I didn't have to think twice nigh it. Seeing that come together in real life was actually cool. I'm really proud of that video and I'm happy that information technology's out.
I mean, it's beautiful. You should exist proud. Looking alee now — y'all've been named an artist to watch in 2022 by many publications and critics. What practice you hope the balance of 2022 brings you and your music?
2022 for me is all about setting the groundwork for what's to come up. This first projection is something that I'yard and so proud of. I think information technology's the perfect introduction to actually evidence people what I want to say and the kind of music that I desire to make. But for the residual of this year, I'm really just focused on making the best music possible for the upcoming yr. Nosotros just have then much planned already. So yeah — 2022, we're laying the groundwork, showing people who Amelia Moore is. Setting up 2023 to simply smack everybody in the face up with some incredible next-level music and visuals and, y'all know, continuing to grow more than into myself and inviting everybody else along the way, who are willing to get emotional and weep with me.
