Amè's ambitious new single 'M&SS'

Being adopted by two pastors and one of the only black girls in town, Amè experienced a lot of bias and microaggressions that only fueled her fire to be heard and represented in a world that doesn’t see you for what’s inside first.Encouraged by the love of her family, Amè found her birth family last year and learned that music really is a part of her.

Standing for "Me and Somebody's Son", Amè's delectable new single is all the upbeat and uncomplicated freshness we see less and less in pop music nowadays. Her sound is not the dark and nearly monolithic avant-garde beat brutalism we're getting used to in the scene nowadays, but neither is she some pop reactionary or a dream divergent, her style is more like an earnest evolution of pop incorporating a bit of the edge of modern production trends -very subtle elements of R&B here, a few inklings of trap there.

"Me & Somebody's Son represents our hectic dating culture and all the crazy stories that come with it! When you are single, you go on so many dates and meet so many people that it blends together! M&SS brings a different spin to how to look at the dating game."

If you've been getting out there, meeting people, and trying to get romantically involved here and there, that can be quite a draining experience, confusing at best and outright maddening at worse. I think 'M&SS' is definitely trying to make sense of that.

In the music video directed by Justyna Augustynska, We see Amè as the busy, empowered modern woman, perhaps too busy with work and friends to consider "normal" dating life, relegating it instead to a boardroom meeting with her friends instead.

All in all, Amè sports hard-hitting pop instincts and very unique vocal textures that make her performance instantly iconic, memorable -and above all- incredibly promising.
