Amelie Lucille, a 15-year-old singer and songwriter from New York, has a voice that belies her youth. As a student at the renowned LaGuardia High School, her journey into music began at the tender age of seven. It was during Christmas that she received her first piano lessons, a gift that ignited her passion for music. Her parents’ introduction to legendary artists like Etta James, Bjork, Norah Jones, and The Beatles further fueled her love for the art. On June 15th, 2023, Amelie released her debut self-titled album, a significant milestone in her budding career. Her talent has since captivated audiences, especially with her second single, “See Me,” which was released on February 2nd. “See Me” stands out as a poignant track where Amelie delves into the painful struggle of leaving a toxic relationship. The song serves as an emotive plea for liberation from a poisoned situation, capturing the heartache and helplessness many feel but cannot always express. Amelie often performs at the legendary Bitter End as part of The Urban Garage series, where her performances are met with admiration and applause. Her collaboration with violinist Carolin Pook on her debut album was particularly successful. Pook composed and performed the string arrangement on “See Me,” creating a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for Amelie’s soulful voice. This arrangement was enriched by the contributions of Amelie’s high school friends, who played violas and cello, adding depth and resonance to the track. In her own words, Amelie shared the inspiration behind “See Me”: “I wrote ‘See Me’ as a way to reach out to people that are in toxic relationships, whether it is with a partner, friend, or family. The song is written as a ‘cry for help’. My goal is to always be sincere in my lyrics and therefore hopefully relatable to the listeners. ‘See Me’ was a release, and I hope it feels like that for others too.” Amelie’s dedication to sincerity in her music resonates with her listeners, making her songs not just a form of entertainment but also a source of solace and understanding for those who find themselves in similar situations. Her ability to convey such deep emotions at a young age is a testament to her talent and the profound impact music has had on her life. As she continues to grow and evolve as an artist, there is no doubt that Amelie Lucille will touch even more hearts with her music.
