Amelie channelled unreckonable vocal power and theatrical blues-rock intensity into BLESSED, a song that could change a life –

BLESSED by Amelie is proof of how powerful collaboration can be when music transcends introspection and becomes a vessel for stories that demand to be heard. The rising British alt-indie blues-rock artist, who stormed onto the scene in 2024 with 20 original releases in a single year, has already become known for her poetic lyricism and emotionally honest songwriting. Yet with this release, set to drop on October 24th, she pushes that mission further, using her voice not just to reflect her own reality but to amplify someone else’s.

The emotional wrecking ball of a single gives sonic weight to a poem written by a father living through the agony of watching his son, Oliver, grow up with cerebral palsy while repeatedly being failed by the system meant to support him. Through Amelie’s unreckonable vocal power and the experimentally theatrical intensity of the blues-soaked production, that anguish is transformed into something anthemic. It’s a song of resilience and dignity, told not from a safe emotional distance but as if Amelie were bleeding the words from her own veins.

BLESSED also marks the latest chapter in Amelie’s Song4U challenge, where fans submit stories for her to turn into songs. She’s pledged to donate half the royalties from the single to help Oliver’s family afford the life-changing wheelchair they’ve been denied due to government cuts. If streaming a track could ever truly change a life, this one absolutely could.

BLESSED is now available on all major streaming platforms. Find your preferred way to listen via the artist’s website.
