LIST PICK

AMAROUN INDECISIVE

If you’ve ever been torn between one decision or another, you’ll understand the deep-seated emotion that bubbles up through Amaroun’s latest single ‘Indecisive’. Following up on our recent List Pick ‘Made A Fire’, this new offering surprises with its ballad structure, slow-moving soul and cinematic patterns that mark a milestone in Jay Brown’s life. As the London musician explains, “It’s set right around that point where - if you’re lucky – you’re making peace with yourself and your decisions. This is the third single I’ve released as Amaroun, and it’s the end of a narrative that began a long time ago. Fighting through the joy and the pain and the confusion of coming out, falling in love and being open about it”. It’s a bold step matched by this bold, soulful pop song that seems so very different to its shoegazey precursor. Very likely, this will continue to be Amaroun’s way - never sticking to one style or subject matter, but forever searching out how to express her identity, thoughts and feelings in a revised fashion. As Brown cheekily hints, “I really can’t wait for everyone to hear the songs we’re writing and recording at the moment – summer’s coming and we’re getting our dancing shoes on! You’ve been warned.” Summer’s on the horizon and Amaroun could very well have our soundtrack, but until then immerse yourself in the power of ‘Indecisive’. - Hannah Thacker
