Car Sex - Single Release
PLAY LENGTH - 3:13
LOCATION - Sydney, Australia
RELEASE DATE - September 15th 2023 (via Ditto)
‘Car Sex’ is about a relationship that only existed within the confines of a car. I wrote it about getting too attached during a friends-with-benefits fling and all the feelings that come with a one-sided situationship. With these kinds of relationships you know what you’re getting yourself into, and yet when the inevitable downfall happens it’s like “woah, who could’ve seen this coming?”

In ‘Love Online’, Ama has carved out an introspective, alt pop banger with a touch of spice.

‘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.’
Steve Likoski - Eat this music
A very solid debut!

Emerging from Western Sydney, 21 year old Sri-Lankan/Australian wordsmith Ama, is the latest voice breaking through the indie pop landscape.
The self-confessed emotional wreck, turned songwriter is making an impact with her incredible storytelling, assured vocals and introspective lyricism. Guitar in hand, Ama’s honest takes on relationships in every light, host an emotional but fresh perspective. Influenced by the likes of Alexander 23, Gracie Abrams & Grace Enger, Ama’s music bites with a maturity that allows listeners to explore the vulnerability of her words, connect with their innermost feelings, and relate to the raw honesty in her thought provoking storytelling.
Her highly praised debut ‘Love Online’ received airplay on Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, FBI Radio, Joy FM, Abreak58, and saw coverage from blogs locally and internationally. Having recently performed at sold out shows with Sofar Sounds in Sydney and Wollongong, Ama treasures her audiences both in person and online. Heavily involved in the TikTok Live community, she is a featured Australian livestream creator.
Beginning her performance career at the age of 17, Ama is familiar with life as a musician, gigging full-time across Sydney. Her strong work-ethic paired with her passion for creating music has caught the attention of audiences and industry alike.
Her highly anticipated follow up single ‘Car Sex’ is slated for release on September 15th.
