LOCATION - Sydney, Australia
RELEASE DATE - April 17th 2025 2025 (via Ditto)
​“Julie’s House” explores the emotional intricacies of falling for someone you’ve only ever known through a screen - someone you may never meet in real life. Blending alt-pop and folk-pop textures, Ama steps into the spotlight with sharp, heartfelt lyricism and a storyteller’s grace. Her debut EP traces the contours of love, loss, and the quiet flicker of hope that can rise from overwhelming heartbreak. The title track ‘Julie’s House’ captures the aching desire for connection in a digital age, painting vivid, imagined scenes of a life you’ve never touched—right down to the intimate corners of a home that exists only in your mind. A delicate mix of acoustic and electric guitars, punchy drums, and ambient house textures breathes life into the narrative, sonically mirroring the vulnerability in Ama’s voice and the tangled emotions she carries for Julie.

Say I was an A&R at a label (a job I would love to do). I would seriously look into offering Ama a deal. 'Sucks' is a massive track, one that I think is right in the wheelhouse of Maisie Peters/Holly Humberstone fans.

"The attention-grabbing title might convince you to press play, but her confessional lyrics and heartfelt vocals will convince you to put it on repeat"

"It’s clear that Ama is a rising star in the alt-pop/indie scene, and we can’t wait to see what she does next."
