AmeyA releases new single “Release Me”

AmeyA is part of an exciting new wave of British artists making music that’s fiercely individual, emotionally open and uncompromisingly real. At 22, the British-Indian singer-songwriter has a voice that’s as emphatic as it is moving, representing neurodiversity and using her platform to challenge perceptions within the music industry. Her sound is fluid, unpredictable and full of contrasts; one moment soulful and reflective, the next shaking with the freedom of dance music, all united by her gritty vocal tone that’s earned deserved comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Rihanna.

From an early age, AmeyA has stood out as a storyteller who writes from the inside out, creating song that glance into themes of mental health, social anxiety and the search for understanding, turning private emotion into relatable connection. Each topic she dissects feels meaningful, offering a sense of honesty that’s become the bedrock of her artistic output. She doesn’t write to impress, she writes to be understood and in doing so, speaks for a generation tackling complexity with grace and defiance.

Early interviews and airplay on BBC Asian Network established her as a voice to watch, with presenters and listeners alike captivated by her sound and perspective. Twice named “Track of the Week,” she soon became a local name in British press, gracing the cover of NAS Magazine and earning slots on BBC Introducing Radio Berkshire and Oxfordshire. On stage, she’s brought her voice to audiences across London and even overseas, performing in Las Vegas at the renowned Sand Dollar Lounge, a rare achievement for an emerging UK artist at her age.

Her 2022 re-release of “Unwired,” an early single from her catalogue, garnered airplay across both side of the Atlantic, bridging her growing international audience. Then came “Take Me To That Place,” a liberating fusion track that blended dance energy with Indian instrumentation and lyrics, reflecting both her heritage and adventurous creative expression. Most recently, she was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, an appearance that further confirmed her status as one of the most exciting new voices representing neurodiverse creativity in mainstream music.

Now, following the success of hr recent EP, AmeyA opens a new chapter with her brand new single titled “Release Me,” a song with a story all its own. Originally penned and recorded when she was just 11 years old, it was named “Track of the Week” on BBC Radio, a remarkable achievement for a child artist and now, a decade later, she’s reimagined it with the perspective of adulthood, transforming it into a stunning pop ballad of freedom and defiance. Driven by orchestral swells and brooding verses that build toward an epic, cathartic chorus, “Release Me” captures the strength through vulnerability and beauty through imperfection that ripples throughout AmeyA’s musical vision.

Propelled by the steady patter of drums and lifted by elegant piano-led instrumentation, sweeping strings float alongside AmeyA’s alluring voice, resulting in a wholly absorbing musical experience that’s memorable, moving and meaningful all at once. With her thoughtful storytelling, genre-fluid sound and performance talent, AmeyA continues to go from strength to strength and we can’t wait to see what she’s got lined up for the rest of 2026 and beyond.
