Blueish Hr Lasts A Long Time In Hamond'southward Globe
"I only believe that there'southward energy watching over us, and that comes through in that song. And in one case you beginning looking for patterns and numbers in the world, and then you offset to run across them more. Which is obviously something that'south very talked near nowadays, only it's true. It goes to a deeper thing where it'southward like when y'all're open up to seeing things in the world, then they come to yous to you lot." says the singer.
On a sunny day in California, office had the opportunity to meet up with Hamond in Silver Lake Park, his favorite park to talk all things music.
So you grew up in Houston, did your parents inspire whatever of the music you grew up listening to?
Yeah, definitely. They had very opposite tastes of music. My mom was very much into disco, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Michael Jackson, Sade, and my dad was very much classic rock, Beatles, Led Zeppelin. And I went through so many phases of music, because of that, which I'chiliad really really glad because at a certain indicate, it was but trying to culminate all the different, reverse genres, that I've been listening to all my life.
Are your parents from ii dissimilar places, is that why they have different music tastes?
Non really, they're both from the Midwest. My mom's from Chicago, and my dad's from Detroit, then, not too far.
Taking from each of those sides, how did you go into music?
Well, information technology was on my mom's side, fine art was her big thing, just music and her family, my grandfather played in the Chicago Symphony, and my uncle was a conductor. It was all classical music leaning, for sure. But but being effectually that every bit a kid, then I merely started picking up instruments, and trying to do bands, merely I was besides controlling as a kid, to be in a band, "No, play it this way."
What's your sign?
I'one thousand a Pisces.
Oh really? I feel like Pisces, aren't that decision-making, maybe they're just detail?
Yeah. I don't know signs that well, merely I was talking to the guy that does my hair. I was like, "Yeah, I'm a Pisces, I think my girlfriend told me I'chiliad a rising Leo." He was similar, "Oh, that's where the controlling part comes in."
So you were in a band, how erstwhile were you?
This was in middle school, and it lasted maybe a month. Simply it'southward funny because I was at this bar two weeks ago, you know Zebulon? But I was walking outside of the bar, and some guy came up to me and was like, "Brian Hammond. You were in a band with Jackson Beasley in seventh course, and we were expert friends."
I was like, "Oh, that'due south crazy. I don't recall existence in a ring." But that fabricated me recall back on information technology once again, and how bad I was at being in a band considering I simply couldn't permit people exercise their own thing. That'due south when I realized I had to practise my own thing. Well and so I started— I got a MacBook, when I had my bar mitzvah, in seventh grade. So when I had my bar mitzvah, is when I got Garage Band on a computer, and then I started producing. And then I started producing for rappers in high school, and then I was secretly singing in my room, but not letting anyone know.
Doing covers on YouTube?
Aye, in that location you go. Then I started singing on some of the hooks, then it got to a point where I was like, "I don't want to practise this. I want to brand my ain music." And so it just transformed into that.
Do you think the beginning song you fabricated, and what it was called?
Yep, it was called "Experience It," makes me cringe now thinking nearly it. My parents loved it. They were like, "That's a hit!"
Expect, 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 like some cool words that go over this stuff. Can you feel it?" Oh my God.
Well, on the opposing side, practice you retrieve the first song you fabricated where yous were similar, "Okay, I could do this music thing professionally?"
Yeah, I think so. It was probably when I was eighteen, it was this vocal called "Keys," that I posted on SoundCloud. Just yeah, that was i that was the starting time song I made, that was my ain, not me producing for someone else, or me featuring on a hook, or something, it was like this is fully my fine art, my project.
And and so you made the adjacent song that you thought was skilful, and what did you lot learn from the showtime song that y'all brought into the adjacent set of songs?
I don't know, it was a long time agone, it'southward hard to recall. I know now with each vocal, possibly non with each vocal, merely with each era, it's stepping dorsum, and being like, "Okay, this got better, but perchance I need to hone in on..." With this adjacent era that I'm going into, it's almost looking at it as a full collection, fine art, or fashion collection. One 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. Nosotros were just talking near how the first step to whatsoever project is the enquiry stage, and how I'grand in this stage right now of pulling all the sounds I like, and inspiration I like. So that then in one case you go into the phase of making the actual music, you lot have these boundaries that you lot're trying to exist within.
What were some of the specific resources you were looking at when yous were doing inquiry?
My whole goal is to try to combine genres that were really inspired past electronic music, UK Garage, and old pulsate pockets of that kind of audio, just make it more musical, and culling. Then I was listening to a lot of Stereolab, Circulate. I've always loved Pharrell and the Neptunes, chords, and jazz. But then trying to match it with these electronic textures, the whole idea with this project, Pirate Radio, was classic time to come vintage, if that makes sense?
What is the pinnacle of utopia in a sound for you? If in that location'southward a song or a specific chord you like, what is that? How are you trying to chase that perfection?
Man. This is going to sound crazy, simply the chord progression of "Senorita" by Justin Timberlake. That's and then fucking crazy. Every time I go back, and listen to it— and I learned it on the piano, I think like, "How did Pharrell come up upwards with these chords?" And so but the pocket of it, and the mode the melody comes in on it, is just so perfect, that is one. Stereolab has this song called, The Flower Called Nowhere, the chord progression on that, and it's in a super weird time signature. It's but things that are like, "How the fuck did they remember about that?" There'south a few of them, I'1000 sure, I can't think almost it off the pinnacle of my head, but those are a couple for sure.
Did yous encounter the documentary with Pharrel, and Justin, where they were making Senorita?
Oh yeah. Justified? The amount of times I watched that as a high schooler, my play count on that is probably a 100 each, dissever, I remember in that location's three xxx-minute videos on YouTube, that I watched over, and over, and over again. Yep. They don't take him making that Senorita, though.
Yes, what song was it?
They did, "I Dearest You." I call back "Rock Your Body." And "Let's Take a Ride" anile the all-time out of that.
So with your new projection, can y'all paint the sonic landscape of what you're putting out?
Aye. Well, I started to affect it, matching electronic textures with vintage textures, so we used a lot of analog equipment, and I wanted this project to be very musical in the sense. A lot of times electronic-leaning music isn't very musical. Yes. And then trying to accept influences from that, only still take information technology rooted in culling music, musicality, using alive instruments, pianos, guitars, and and so nosotros used record machines on a lot of stuff. They give it a super analog, retro texture. There'south this interlude on the project, called "The Credit," And that whole matter was printed to a tape machine. So there'south a pitch bicycle on the tape motorcar, and I played effectually, moved information technology, and then you can hear it, manipulating information technology. And it just sounds more than man, than it would if you lot were in the software program, drawing it in. Well, the whole theme of the project is, it'due south called "Pirate Radio." Practise you know what pirate radio is?
It's similar Great britain garage?
Yep. Well, information technology's it started in the UK, but it started with the classic rock era, where the radio wasn't playing what people— or what the youth wanted to hear, pretty much. And then they would steal the circulate, hijack the radio station, and play their own radio, the music they wanted to hear, onto it. And so information technology just turned into United kingdom electronic music, and that whole world, merely it'southward pretty much people in their bedrooms running their own radio station with all this equipment.
And and then, me and TJ, TJ is like my executive producer I practice everything with, we were referencing that whole feeling and the spirit of that. And how when we make music, it'southward like we're in my bedchamber, or in our studio where we're tinkering with things, and where it's simply the two of usa, we're running a radio station. And then leaning into that with the style the music is made, using knobs, and equipment, all that shit.
Have you ever hijacked whatever parties trying to DJ?
No, merely that is what nosotros're trying to practice with that. So I really desire my first shows for this project to be — We're talking about finding abased part spaces, and warehouses, and pretty much edifice out what pirate radio looks similar with all this equipment, making it an art piece, so doing a show in that location, that would turn into a rave after information technology. With Charles, my other roommate, he is a crazy DJ, and has been launching this matter called, "Thank You For Sweating Out Here." Which is going to be secret Raves, pretty much, and he would help put that on.
What got y'all into UK garage? Was it from your dad?
Not really, I mean, neither of my parents were really into electronic music, that was after their time. Yeah, I don't know, I've always loved electronic music, but expert electronic music. I fucking detest EDM music, but it'due south called fucking fist punk, bro. Information technology started with Daft Punk, and and so it just escalated into getting into Aphex Twin. And this whole world, that all of the electronic music I was really liking, was coming out of the Great britain. They're but so much amend at information technology doing it in a tasteful mode. It'south a certain style that British people are able to incorporate electronic music, and not make information technology fucking corny.
Just y'all know why that is right?
Why?
At that place's a big theory about people in the UK existence actually good at art considering their environment is highly depressive. And so the theory is that people here making art in America is not as swell, equally deep, and more surface level is because nosotros have a lot to look at, a lot that's stimulating.
There'southward definitely something to that. I remember my favorite time nosotros brand music is when it'southward cloudy, and raining out. Aye. I'm trying to alive in London for a while, at least do a twelvemonth at that place, or something. But January is my favorite month in LA because people think it'south sunny all the fourth dimension, but in Jan, LA is cloudy and rainy. Probably half the days of the month, and that'due south when I make the all-time music.
You have this evangelical and spiritual hue to your music. You released "Angels" on the appointment 02/22/22, and your newest song is called "Angels." Can you talk near the spiritual elements you experience, and put into your music?
Yeah. Well for the starting time unmarried "Angels," obviously it's straight tied to, that's what the whole song is near. But I don't know, I don't want to get also deep into my religious relationship with God. I'one thousand trying to figure out how to do it without it, but I'g not afraid to talk nigh it. It's really just a matter of, I don't know exactly what I'g comfy with maxim. But I exercise believe in a college power, and my dad, when I was a kid, would e'er tell me, and my sister, that we had specific guardian angels designated to us, and mine was named Chester. I still talk to my guy Chester up there, but I don't know, I don't believe in information technology in such a literal sense, but I believe in the higher power. I just believe that there's energy watching over u.s.a., and that comes through in that song. And once you first looking for patterns and numbers in the world, and then y'all start to run across them more. Which is manifestly something that's very talked about nowadays, just information technology's true. It goes to a deeper thing where it'due south like when you lot're open to seeing things in the world, so they come to y'all.
Exercise yous take that same approach to making music? Are you open to whatever sounds or ideas come up, to you, even if that's non the plan you had for that solar day?
Well, that is one thing about music, that's why the research phase comes in handy. You try not to be too methodical about it. That's 1 thing, with me and TJ, is when we piece of work, it's all just how we feel. Simply information technology'south, "Let's get this idea out. Allow's do this." And and then once we're not feeling it, let'south get to the next one, and come back to it. And going with the energy of the room, and how it makes you lot feel.
The methodical office is you do information technology beforehand, where you try to effigy out what you're trying to do, in general. And then y'all get in with that, in your subconscious, and then you brand information technology with that in listen. But y'all have to permit the energy flow when you're doing it in person, otherwise, you just disrupt the whole— you terminate upwardly being like, "Oh no, no, no. We need to get this perfect." There's energy in the imperfections, it makes it more than man.
What you would tell your younger self about making music at present?
That's a actually good question, I'm really thankful that I don't really regret —I made a lot of pivots throughout being a kid of like, "Oh, I similar this. No, I like this." and jumping around. Just 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 practise so many different types of music. So I would probably just tell myself, "Go along going kid."
Were yous one of the kids like up all night on Reddit, or looking for music?
Yeah. Well I was up all dark making beats, that's for certain.
Were you selling beats?
No, I tried to, at ane point, information technology'southward only such a soul-sucking thing to like, "Oh yeah, I'grand going to make these beats that random rappers across the globe would like?"
Pierre-type beats?
"Type beats" are the worst. I just recollect I was such a huge Kanye fan in loftier school. And when this documentary dropped, information technology reminded me of what it was like considering I was staying upwardly waiting for it to come out. And I remember staying upwards late, waiting for "Good Fridays" to driblet. And beingness on forums about gear certain producers would utilise. And it's like a rabbit pigsty that you become 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 use." And so it'due south such a cliché to be like, "Oh, you don't need those things." But you lot really don't demand shit, you just need your ideas and your ain self.
But then that goes hand in hand with making music for yourself and selling music. Accept you been hesitant about getting an executive producer, signing with a label, and getting a marketing team, if that might have away from the true artistry of your music?
Yeah. I recall in the kickoff couple of years, I had spent coming out to LA, and then eventually moving here. I mean information technology'south obvious, but the manufacture in LA is then gross. I mean, just in that location'southward a great side to it too. So yous just detect your bubble, just once I constitute my bubble of people that I want to be surrounded by and just stick by, then it'due south like you block all the other shit out. And once you lot have that, it fabricated me realize that like, "Oh, there's sure ways people meet music, that I don't want to have to exist associated with, at all." Non associated with, or only work with because I don't want those opinions on my music, the way I look at it now is like, "Am I going to be happy with having this out in ten years?" Or when I'm older.
Wow. I've never heard anyone talk nearly that, the longevity of their music in that sense.
That's the motivating force for what route I desire to go, what I want to put out now, with this project. And going forward from at present on is like, "Am I going to be happy with this beingness out when I'm old?"
If you could have one person living or expressionless review your music and requite you a critique, who would it be?"
Pharrell is i. I was going to say Paul McCartney. And Guy Manuel or someone from Daft Punk.
Why would you want Pharrell to critique your music? What communication would you recollect he would give y'all?
The way he hears chords, and I'm just curious what he would say like, "Go along doing that." I just admire him, the thing about Pharrell, is that he has such a distinct sound. When you hear a Neptunes beat out or a Pharrell vanquish, you tin, about of the time tell if you know the sound?And my goal with this next era, and a picayune scrap with this project, but fifty-fifty more and then, probably with every project, is to well-nigh put a petty more boundaries on places you can go musically. And so that I can make equally cohesive, and identifiable of a sound as I tin can, and I'm curious how he did that.
That's true, because I can always, no matter what song information technology is, I'm like, "Pharrell produced this." Just with other people, I know sometimes Timbaland, like people can hear that.
Timbaland is super identifiable, not every bit the Neptunes, but a lot of information technology comes from liking chords. It changes everything, seriously. Both Tyler and Pharrell use jazz chords, major, minor seven, which is something I've always gravitated towards. There was this song, it's an former classical song that uses major, and modest, seventh chords. And I was learning classical music at the time, and and then I heard that, and I immediately pivoted to jazz music because I was like, "This is and then much meliorate." It just feels like, information technology's a different feeling.
I beloved jazz, it's then boundless. I experience like people are very pretentious with the way that they love jazz, but information technology literally is just like the scope of all music that you hear, all of it has jazz elements in information technology.
Yep. It's literally there's no wrong to it. Jazz is the well-nigh human office because as nosotros were saying, humanism is embracing the mistakes of information technology. Jazz is and then technically incorrect, but it's and then it just feels right.
And Paul McCartney?
Oh yeah. Just him as a songwriter, I'm curious about his process in how oftentimes they wrote songs with the Beatles. And how I recollect hearing they would go in, and just write a vocal a solar day, or multiple songs a day, and so go to the studio, and hammer them out. It was like sometimes you lot can get too defenseless up in trying to make the perfect song, but it's clear the way they were doing it with how much they churned out, information technology was like they weren't thinking too deeply about it. I'm merely curious on how he approaches songwriting.
If this was Brian'southward world, what would it expect like? What are the rules? What'due south going on? What is the background music, at all times? What IS your ultimate utopia?
I want to see a metropolis where— it probably wouldn't work logistically, but I desire to see a city where the whole priority is everything looks beautiful, and compages is the priority, and arts is the priority. Imagine walking through a city where all the buildings were congenital to exist interesting, or pleasing, and all work together.
Merely isn't that the society we alive in now? Nosotros're so caught upwards in the beauty of everything, and that comes in with capitalism, every bit well, because y'all're trying to sell dazzler? We're all and then obsessed with the dazzler of everything.
I don't think so considering and then think nigh how much stuff is built just to make coin, or just because information technology's practical. Obviously, non everyone is an creative person, but I will imagine a world, or a city, where everything was built with fine art in listen, and that's the priority. So I don't know, yous walk into a fucking Target, or a grocery store, instead of them playing fucking sometime Michelle Branch, they're playing absurd new, someone's curating it. And it's similar, "Oh this is a cool vocal. What is this?" And everywhere you go, is just good curation in heed.
Okay. Is the heaven a certain color, or not?
I like blueish. The simulation'southward kind of beautiful. Perchance blueish hour would be extended by three hours, I love blue hour, but it only lasts five minutes, I wish it lasted like an 60 minutes. Blueish hr is right afterwards the dusk goes down, or right before the sun comes up, where the sky isn't orange withal, but everything is like dusk blue.
Big Girls Do Cry: On Music and Emotional Release with Amelia Moore
Continue reading for office'south full interview with Amelia below, where nosotros discuss her next projection, emotional freedom, and why the color orange has impacted her life so profoundly.
I read that yous gained a beloved for music past singing with a choir when you were young. That is a very passionate and prideful type of music. What skills or lessons did you bring with yous from your choir days to your music now?
Amelia — Wow. That'south a really good question. I grew upward singing in church building pretty much from four years old until I left for college at 17. In that location wasn't that much technique involved. I feel like at that place isn't, in church building singing. It'southward kind of only like, 'If you lot feel called and the Lord wants you to sing, you're gonna sing,' correct? I just actually, really fell in love with singing and being on stage in general. I've taken a lot of inspiration from choirs, in general, into my music. Fifty-fifty whenever I'm writing my lyrics today — without even realizing the influence of church building and biblical references that I grew up learning — those things just seep their way into my lyrics and into my writing now, which I love. It was such an of import role of me growing up. I took less of actually learning how to sing from growing upward in choir and more of but being inspired by the sound and I'chiliad very interested in using it in my music today.
I think that's kind of a natural progression likewise. These things from your past find their mode into your music without information technology even being intentional, which is the case for a lot of artists. I want to talk about something else that y'all did when you were younger — you played violin, right? I read that you quit afterward a fourth dimension because of feeling like it was a bit too restrictive. What exercise you feel like singing and piano provide you that violin didn't?
I started playing violin when I was 4 or five and I played for about 7 years. Initially, I but wanted to start playing because my older sis was, and I just wanted to be like her. But then I started to get really skillful. And as y'all said, you know, the violin is a very technical musical instrument. You're learning somebody else'due south music, yous'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. Simply so as a kid, I didn't even know how uninspiring it was and how uninspired by that I was. I remember beingness 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's absurd. So let's get dorsum to practicing canvas music.' I merely got really bored with information technology. Quitting was really, really hard because my parents loved hearing me play so much. Toward the last couple years of me playing, I definitely felt like I was only doing it to make them happy, even at such a young age. Merely as soon every bit I quit, my dad bought me a light-up Casio keyboard and it felt like absolute freedom. In that location was no canvass music. In that location was no technique. I wasn't in lessons. I was literally just learning everything by ear or from YouTube or from the buttons that would literally light upwardly on the keyboard. It was only fun. And I could exercise whatever I wanted; in that location wasn't somebody telling me to practice for however many hours a day. I could exercise every bit long every bit I wanted for any I wanted. I started writing songs on piano when I was eleven or 12. I just remember watching piano tutorials on YouTube for One Direction songs. That's how I started learning and educational activity myself piano and I nevertheless write on the piano today.
I love that you learned One Direction songs because I literally was obsessed. I had a Ane Direction Tumblr — I was 1 of those girls.
I was a Directioner for sure. Still am.
And so now to come from all of that to just recently coming off your tour with Fletcher — that's then amazing. What was your general overall experience touring with her?
These Fletcher shows were my kickoff big girl, full ring with rail shows. The start prove that I played in LA was a niggling audio-visual fix at The Hotel Cafe. It wasn't even my own bear witness. I was just playing a set up with a couple friends. Simply the Fletcher bout was admittedly insane. It was the best commencement tour I could have ever imagined. I'chiliad so fucking thankful that she invited me to be a part of that tour. I remember the first show in San Francisco, I was so, so, and then nervous the whole twenty-four hours. Oh my gosh. I just call back feeling like an accented, crazy person. I was freaking out, simply just seeing everybody, as soon as I got upward in that location, was the most surreal feeling in the entire world. I'1000 also then lucky to have gotten the opportunity to proceed bout when I accept such footling music out. I basically got to bout my EP that's about to drop before anyone'due south heard information technology and see what songs the audition reacted to. It was such a smashing experience. And I'm and so thankful, for sure, and excited to get dorsum on the route.
Did you take ane song that yous really liked performing or a song that got the all-time crowd reaction?
I think the crowd favorite consistently every single night was this vocal chosen 'Over My Ex' and information technology'south not even on this upcoming EP, it's gonna come out soon after. But it was the 2nd song I played and I fabricated it a drinking game for everybody. So my intro into the vocal was, 'I demand you to drinkable every time I say the word ex,' which was a lot of times in this song. Then people were just actually engaged and interacting with it, which felt really practiced. So I'thousand excited to put that vocal out afterwards this summer.
Getting that oversupply reaction has to be incredible. I tin see it now, even with your hair color, that the colour orangish plays a big part in your personal style and in your life. If y'all had to assign a color to your aura, would it be orange or would it be a different color?
I recollect it would definitely still be orange. Orangish is the color of creativity and free energy. I experience like I want to go on those things very shut to me at all times. I feel like they already are. Just, I don't know — mayhap my aureola is a different color. I should figure that out. I do feel like information technology's orange though.
I have a feeling it might be orange too. Through my deep dive, I as well found that you've mentioned that you meet your world in orangish. But bated from the color orangish, what else characterizes Amelia's world — what does Amelia's earth look like and feel like?
Amelia'south 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 — so very brilliant and loud. Only I also beloved being inspired by more R&B vocal performances. So it's likewise silky and smooth and sultry at times also. Merely also ever-changing, like the bounding main. I love being diverse in the music that I make. I likewise love writing for other artists and experimenting with different genres and not keeping myself in a box. Merely there's a lot going on in Amelia's earth. I'k wearing this hospital gown right at present, just for the fashion — just to experiment. Amelia'south globe is also full of fashion. I'1000 really excited to testify all of the looks that we simply shot in this music video. But my world is just continuing to aggrandize and grow equally my fan base does. I'm really excited to show everybody all of these different sides of who I am in my artist project.
I tin can't wait to see the video that you're talking almost right at present, also. While we're however talking virtually the color orange, I found that you take shown some honey for something else orange — that I also hold close to my middle, which is Frank Body of water's Channel Orange album. That album impacted my life and so deeply. Was it an impactful album for your musical process every bit well?
Frank Ocean's music was just so pivotal for me. Listening to him for the first time was just absolutely life-changing. But, I volition say, the beginning album that really rocked my world was Justin Timberlake'southward 2020 Experience. I didn't actually mind 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 pop culture. But that album was 1 of the showtime secular CDs that my mom e'er kept in the car because she's such a Justin Timberlake fan. I remember listening to that for the first time, just being like, 'Holy shit — these harmonies, these drums!' All of the songs on that album are also and so long. And they each have extended versions of the radio versions of each vocal itself. It was simply and then inspiring to me. That was definitely the first anthology that made me realize, 'Wow, I want to do something like this.' And I'1000 still very inspired by that album today.
And you can really hear those influences in your music too. There are so many layers to it and it's a really dynamic listening experience. Some other affair, aside from your personality, that characterizes your persona is your Instagram handle — Icryatwork. I feel like the girls who go it, become it. Sometimes you just need to have a skilful weep. What's your favorite place to cry in?
Wow. In that location are and so many different places. I feel similar a spot that always hits is in the motorcar or just in bed or in the bathroom. Those are iii become-tos. I will say though — just as a little sneak peek virtually this music video that I shot this past weekend. While nosotros were shooting, I was in this super intense moment and feeling the lyrics and I just completely, in the center of the shoot, started full out sobbing. That'due south probably gonna make the final cut. So, also, I cry on-set of my music videos. That might take the number one spot actually.
Yeah, I call back that has to be number ane. That's a proficient i — a very niche one.
Aye, very, very niche. I'grand really excited to come across how that video comes together.
On a similar notation, y'all spoke before virtually existence really in tune with your emotions, which I think is so of import for emotional growth. And I recall that through your music, you tin sense that this is someone who is actually in touch on with this side of themselves. Do you see your music as an emotional release?
Absolutely. My beginning EP happened because I needed to release and feel all of the emotions that I was going through. That'south honestly the chief reason why I started writing songs so young — I was simply feeling so many different means near then many different things. I was growing up and I didn't wanna talk to anybody about it. And then I would simply sit downward at the piano and write the worst songs about how I was feeling. Information technology was very therapeutic and has ever been very therapeutic. It felt like a healthy way of processing. I made this whole side by side project with some of my best friends, and so music has always been and volition always exist for me a actually healthy outlet. I'm so lucky to have this medium, where people can hear what I write and too know that they're not the merely ones that feel that mode.
Aye, for sure. It's a personal, emotional release, only it has to be incredible to put your feelings on paper and know that it resonates with other people too.
Just getting it on the folio feels groovy. Then it'south like, 'Okay, wow, I got that one off my chest.' Something that I've establish that's actually funny is that sometimes I'll write a song considering I need to listen to myself more. Yous know, whenever you're listening to a song and you're like, 'Oh my God, I feel that.' I'll literally practise that with my own songs. So even writing it to process my ain feelings is a part of my creative process.
Totally, that makes sense. Information technology's this idea of the music beingness a release, simply in this case, it also can bring clarity. I'm sure sometimes you don't even know what you're feeling and then yous listen to a song or write ane, and it's like, 'Oh, that's how I'm feeling.' I actually recollect that'southward super profound. What was the full general inspiration behind your latest track, 'Crybaby' and the corresponding video?
'Crybaby' is and then 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 called 'Crybaby.' It's very on- brand. I've been wanting to make a carol in vi-viii for a long fourth dimension likewise. I was going through this annoying, stupid breakup and I was feeling every unmarried line of what nosotros wrote and writing information technology did not have long at all because of how intensely we were feeling these emotions. It happened very naturally and seamlessly. We wrote it and I kind of already saw in my caput, 'Okay — grand piano in the pelting.' I didn't have to recall twice most it. Seeing that come together in existent life was really cool. I'one thousand really proud of that video and I'k happy that it'southward out.
I mean, it'southward beautiful. You should exist proud. Looking ahead now — you've been named an artist to sentry in 2022 by many publications and critics. What do yous hope the residue of 2022 brings yous and your music?
2022 for me is all nearly setting the background for what's to come. This get-go project is something that I'm so proud of. I think it's the perfect introduction to actually show people what I want to say and the kind of music that I want to make. But for the balance of this year, I'm actually just focused on making the best music possible for the upcoming year. We merely have then much planned already. So aye — 2022, we're laying the groundwork, showing people who Amelia Moore is. Setting upwards 2023 to just smack everybody in the face with some incredible next-level music and visuals and, you know, continuing to grow more into myself and inviting everybody else along the mode, who are willing to become emotional and cry with me.
xvi Thoughts we had while Listening to Ramona Park Broke My Heart

Aye, every musician is constantly putting something out as a new chapter to their identity and even what they observe interesting. Yet, Staples is a coyote amidst the pack. At that place's a sense of maturity— one that'southward e'er been in that location just speaks in higher volume.
