Premiere: Inspiring Unity Through Music, Amirah Releases A New Hypnotic Single Titled “Tell Me” (Official Lyric Video)
Bicultural singer and songwriter Amirah follows-up in style to her previously released single “You Are My Land,” with yet another astonishingly beautiful release, the single “Tell Me.” Recorded with Grammy award-winning producer Jeff Bova while recording her debut album, “Tell Me” is a scream from the heart that sees the wonderful songstress call-out for unity, despite their differences, a major message that lands right on time amid the US elections week.
Amirah has experienced a lot, seen a lot, and her depth, maturity, and inspiring approach shows in every part of her work. She continues fulfilling her mission on earth as a healer and an artist fighting for peace, tolerance, and most importantly unity. This quest for unity is particularly powerful and inspiring in the dramatic “Tell Me.”
Her unique pop aesthetics are made of traditional catchy pop soundscapes mixed with traditional Malaysian, Indian, or Chinese instruments, which all together form a utterly special symphony of beautiful sounds. Her graceful voice is what brings a cohesive meaning to the whole, while she delivers this dramatic ode to the powers that unite us all, despite our polarized world. “Tell Me” asks the questions that are on many of our minds as we struggle to make sense of the chaos of the modern era. “The more I understand of this world, the less I understand it,” Amirah sings, before building up to the question at the core of the song, “What should I believe? How can I believe? Am I my name, am I my face? My religion or my race? My tradition or my tribe? Or just this heart that beats inside?”
“Tell Me” is almost cinematic in scope with luscious live strings and modern pop drums. Originally composed in Malay, it explores faith, freedom, and the endless search for meaning for who we truly are as a people. Amirah taps into our collective consciousness to encourage unity despite our differences. “Am I my love? Am I my hate?” she asks. Both new and old fans will find plenty to love in this track. Most importantly, they might find the inspiration they need to continue pursuing a more unified world.
Amirah’s passion and dedication to music as well as her strong understanding of the world she lives in paired with her bicultural identity, are all the elements and signs that we are witnessing the rise of a very, very special soul for the coming years in music.
Album Review
Cognitive Constellation Corps blurs humanity and technology on “Thank You for Your Feedback (I)” album
In a world of notifications and automated responses, algorithms, and feedback requests, Cognitive Constellation Corps finds something unexpectedly human inside the machinery. “Thank You for Your Feedback (I)” is an alt-pop exploration of connection, isolation, communication, and the increasingly complicated relationship between people and technology, transforming familiar procedural language into something else.
Created by Brooke Tamsin Clevenger, a Belfast-based artist, the project’s principal composer, lyricist, producer, and conceptual director, the album is deliberately constructed around what happens to human emotion when our lives are increasingly structured by systems that process information rather than necessarily understand feelings. The album opens with “Opening Loop (i),” which introduces that world through the idea of repetition, linking software loops to the habits we humans learn in modern life.
Followed by “Signal Received (i),” the track becomes more fragile, a mix of bubbling electronic movement and the promise of waiting for a response. It picks up the strange emotional weight that can be behind something as simple as a digital signal. “Thank You For Your Feedback (i)” examines the pressure to be constantly evaluated, and “Echo Chamber (i)” reflects on how digital interaction creates intimacy and amplifies alienation. “The Curve of Clarity (i)” is a road toward understanding where data and human realization begin to converge.
On the production side, the project explores electronic textures without allowing its technological concept to overwhelm its emotional core. “Threadbare, Threadshare (i)” turns the fatigue of constant communication into an interesting concept. “The Response Loop (You’re Still Talking)” injects a sense of urgency with a faster, more club-friendly beat that mixes early-80s electronic music with state-of-the-art sounds.
“Harmonic Distortion (i)” continues the album’s obsession with emotion that has been filtered, and “Always (i) [Sevahem]” is an appropriate closer, reflecting on organic feeling and ancient human knowledge through the prism of digital sound. “Thank you for Your Feedback” is a tech-driven concept that is always aware of the person behind the screen. Cognitive Constellation Corps is cerebral and electronic and conceptually ambitious while remaining emotionally accessible.

Shawn Brown raises the volume on love, loss, and survival in “What a Way to Go”
Shawn Brown’s new single, “What a Way to Go,” is a guitar-heavy rock-pop anthem that makes doomed young love, instability, and survival something ferociously cathartic. The single, produced by celebrated musician and producer Grecco Buratto, fully embraces the scope of its story. Brown doesn’t turn heartbreak into a quiet, inward experience, but he energizes it, giving it drive and urgency.
“What a Way to Go” is a relationship against impossible odds, and the emotional tension is the clash between a world that feels like it’s falling apart and the stubbornness of two people who won’t let go of each other. That tension is what makes the song dramatic, but it also allows Brown to aim for a bigger, more explosive sound.
Recorded at The Trench in Portland with engineer Gregg Williams and the full Shawn Brown Band and trusted creative team, including Ben Landsverk, Jeff Langston, Ned Failing, Tiago Becker, and Juan Garcia Petri. Their combined presence adds to the muscular, expansive character of the single that one would expect from an anthem of this magnitude.
Brown handles the emotional commitment with confidence, true to its survivalist spirit, and pairs the guitars with a performance that feels immediate rather than remote. “What a Way to Go” is one of Shawn Brown’s most electrifying releases, blending raw rock power with the emotional openness of a love story that won’t go quietly. It’s raw, loud, passionate, and unapologetically alive.
