London-based artist Aimie Atkinson is a talented singer-songwriter whose career in music and theatre has earned widespread acclaim. Renowned for her performances on the Gold-certified album SIX which has racked up over 100 million streams and her lead role in Pretty Woman on London’s West End, Aimie has also earned prestigious awards such as the BBC Musical Theatre Award and the Voice of Astana.
Stepping into her own spotlight as a solo artist, Aimie has consistently impressed audiences with her unique sound. Making her entrance in 2021, she released her debut single “Pretty Woman,” a cover of the beloved Roy Orbison song. Followed up by an acoustic version of the song later that year, in 2023 she returned with her sophomore single “Monster” which won over listeners around the world and confirmed Aimie’s status as an exciting solo artist on the rise.
Now she’s back and brings us her latest release with her brand new third single titled “MUSE.” Linking up with producer Peter White and released via the all-female Powher Sound imprint, Aimie Atkinson serves up another dose of her stunning pop sound. “MUSE” glances at the complexities of attraction and power with Aimie’s meaningful lyrics exploring the allure of charisma and charm, juxtaposed with the realisation of the danger it poses.
With a smokey guitar-led arrangement peppered with delicate string touches and driven by the steady march of striking drums, Aimie’s utterly sensational vocal performance is the true star of the show. Spinning her bright melodic writing into an incredible, soulful journey, her voice dances wildly with a powerful delivery dripping in emotion.
Starting with the laid back twang of guitar notes riding the soft click of percussion, Aimie’s hushed voice glides in, subtly rising with lively melodic twists. The punch of drums injects energy as the playful pizzicato plucks of strings builds towards the chorus where Aimie’s vocals take flight to craft a rousing and empowering sound that’s completely intoxicating and unforgettable.
Soaring above the instrumentation and layered up against overlapping backing vocals, Aimie’s voice threads an entrancing display to offer an incredible new song. It’s a thrilling pop outing from an artist who continues to operate at the very highest level and we can’t wait to see what she’s got in store next.
