Rising pop rock artist Amelina has a natural gift for turning personal moments into cinematic, emotionally charged musical experiences. As a young artist, her music traces themes of growing up and self-discovery, all wrapped in bright melodies that inspire courage. Blending elements of rock, indie pop and cinematic aesthetic, she creates songs that shines with optimism while uncovering the tender truths beneath the surface.
Originally from Russia, Amelinaâs journey changed course in 2023 when she relocated to Torrevieja in the south east of Spain; arriving in a new country with a new language and no existing audience, she channelled the uncertainty and excitement of that chapter into her music. Reflections on life from her own perspective soon became songs, presenting intimate musings on growth, determination and starting again. The move marked the true beginning of her artistic vision based in the belief that bravery can sound beautiful.
In May this year, she unveiled her original sonic vision with her debut five-track EP, I’m Unstoppable, which she’s since followed up with a trio of well-received singles. The empowering âStep by Stepâ was a reminder of persistence through uncertainty, while âRoblox Realmsâ revealed a more colourful, playful side via a celebration of creativity and escapism.
Now she brings us her latest release with the festive anthem titled âA New Yearâs Wish,â a pop rock jam about courage, magic and renewal. Driven by gritty electric guitars, compelling vocals and a euphoric chorus, the song strikes a balance between seasonal sparkle and emotional sincerity. Channelling the spirit of early Avril Lavigne with a touch of modern pop appeal, âA New Yearâs Wishâ lands as a celebration of possibility, offering a reminder that the end of one chapter is the perfect beginning for another.
Setting the scene with a twinkling jingle bells refrain, muted guitar notes and steady percussive punch usher in Amelina’s lively vocal leads as she spins catchy lines above. Surging into an epic chorus packed full of infectious hooks and invigorating instrumental energy, the track delivers a burst of instantly memorable pop-focused rock music that’s sure to soundtrack the festive celebrations of countless fans around the world this holiday season.
Paired with the single is a music video directed by Elizaveta Sheyanenko which features Amelina playing out classroom scenes cut with shots of her performing alongside her bandmates of Arseniy Peterson on drums, bass player Paulina Teder and Andrey on guitar to deliver an engaging visual experience for the music. It’s a superb holiday single from a young artist who’s starting to make her mark on what’s sure to be her breakout year.
Commenting on the single, she shares, “The song is like fireworks – it starts quiet, then bursts into colour and reminds you how alive you are.”
