With a focus on female empowerment, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Amaal has been bringing her powerful voice to the forefront of her emotionally-charged music. After the release of ‘Scream’ back in 2017, she has been building up a loyal fanbase who have been anticipating the release of ‘Not What I Thought’. The video that accompanies the track takes us across enthralling Icelandic landscapes that match the reflective nature of the bass-heavy ballad. Amaal has made it into the music industry thanks to her exceptional voice and songwriting skill, and it shows in this release which should form part of her upcoming EP. -Dan Peeke
