Amela Weaves Light and Dark with Her New Song ‘doris’ [stream]

Amela – Doris SoundCloud

Spellbinding is the word that most accurately describes the unadulterated beauty of Amela’s music. The young Brisbane-based singer/songwriter crafts powerfully intimate folk tunes tinged with darkness, true to her Bosnian roots. By cleverly weaving layers of simple instrumentation, including her own gentle voice, Amela forms artful and immersive soundscapes that still maintain a rawness at the core. Her newest song, “Doris”, is a veritable dream. Piano in the form of cascading riffs, tinkling high notes, forceful chords and a sweet melody collide gracefully with Amela’s breathy vocals to create an enchanting ebb and flow. It’s light and dark whirled into a delicate folk song with the capacity to entrance any listener. Put on some headphones, turn up the volume and immerse yourself in the eerily ethereal wonder of “Doris”. For more Amela, try her debut Not Enough Honey EP or homemade gems on her Soundcloud.
