Amanda Delara – New Generation (GR:OW Records)
 |
| Amanda Delara - New Generation |
Release Date: Out Now
Amanda Delara exists in a sliver
of a niche that is Norwegian/Iranian pop but they always say if you want to
succeed then you need to find your niche and make it work for you so all power
to her. This single, ‘New Generation’ is undeniably pop but with an edge of
defiance and socio-political awareness that is not so much creeping in to pop
but marching in with a banner and a purpose. Ibiza inspired synth stabs give
this a party vibe but the opening lyrics leave you in no doubt that this is a
song borne out of anger and injustice - “My momma would hear bombs drop two
blocks away from her rooftop waiting for the day to change, She didn’t get a
lot to say, oh they took her voice away, Motherfuckers”. There’s a sway and a
swagger to this that is full of street attitude as the beats kicks in hard and
those melodies put this up alongside pop heavyweights like Rihanna and Rita
Ora. It’s a crying shame that the world is full of injustice that needs to be
fought back against but it’s a comfort that there are artists of every genre
ready to stand up and fight with word, music and ideas. More please.
