A BOLD INDIE-ROCK STATEMENT FROM SINGER-SONGWRITER FIONA AMAKA “COWARDS AND SHADOWS”

London-based singer-songwriter Fiona Amaka continues to impress with her ultra-cool art-house influenced indie-rock. Amaka's development as an artist is obvious with her new single "Cowards and Shadows". It showcases moodiness with textures as well as poetic lyricism and lyrics that sound filmic. 

The song takes listeners on a sonic odyssey that is atmospheric and introspective, yet still balances vulnerability and confidence, all without being reductive. Musically, the song has some echoes of David Bowie and suggests a space for Fiona and an independent niche in the UK indie scene. "Cowards and Shadows" has resonated well with fans through Fiona's socials, receiving praise for its rich vocality as well as engaged production from several listeners. The fullness of "Cowards and Shadows" suggests Fiona's passion for emotionally methodical approaches to music and is seemingly output at an ambitious creative level. 

One of the cool sonic experiences "Cowards and Shadows" offers the whole listening experience is the haunting, contemporary context in which overlapping melodies mesh with sounds like they have been laid down on a caring cushion of noise. Unlike most songs, her accompanying sound almost lingers as long in the mind as her voice.

After the success of her former release "No Daylight," which was also transformed with a different production and was generally labeled a "melancholic banger," Fiona is creating her way forward with bold authenticity. With upcoming shows, like the Camden Weekender Festival, her momentum can only build.
