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

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
