Malaysian-Indian singer Amirah recently released her new single ‘Tell Me’.
Amirah delivers a unique sound, blending traditional elements such as tanbura, gamelan and tabla with modern pop production, giving her songs a timeless quality that allows her pacifist message to truly shine.
‘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. As she explains ‘Let's unite for a world where we are all accepted for our differences, regardless of race, religion, culture, nationality, status, gender, or sexual orientation.’
Marty's review: "Tell Me" is a masterfully composed song with strong and emotion laden lyrics that are woven around a musical backdrop of traditional world music elements blended with contemporary pop. Amirah's voice has a lush and breathtaking sound that is both stunning and sublime and allows her to deliver the message of this most important song with confidence and clarity.
