AMERY steps into the light with ‘Electric Love’
Some songs aren’t just music: they’re milestones. Electric Love, the latest single from Belgian-Rwandan artist AMERY, is more than a comeback: it’s a declaration of freedom. Out now on all platforms, the track captures the emotional release that comes with choosing yourself, even when the world has tried to define you first.
From the first glowing organ chords, Electric Love radiates a quiet strength, the kind that builds slowly, then crashes open like a long-awaited breakthrough. Produced by longtime collaborator James Lowland, it pairs raw emotion with soaring, rock-infused energy, charting AMERY’s journey from fear to self-acceptance. Vulnerable, powerful and gloriously unfiltered, Electric Love feels like a soul set free.
What makes the song hit even harder is the context behind it. Written during one of the darkest chapters of AMERY’s life, it tells the story of a young man watching the foundation beneath him dissolve — his family drifting apart, his sense of identity unraveling, his safety net vanishing. And yet, rather than sink, he wrote. “I felt this deep void, he says. I started to look for comfort and distraction in other places and people, but I realized I was constantly running away from the truth, and straight into depression and toxic relationships. I had to let go of everything that was holding back my personal growth and find my light again. I wrote this while I was at my lowest, dreaming of the day I’d finally break free. It carried me forward.
While many know AMERY for the sleek pop anthems that even caught the ear of Sir Elton John, Electric Love marks a turn inward. It’s genre-bending, yes, but more importantly, it’s label-rejecting — in every sense. He invites us not just listen, but to feel. And as he embraces his queerness, autism and introversion without apology, AMERY proves that art is at its most powerful when it’s simply, unapologetically true.
AMERY is back, but more importantly, he’s finally home in himself.

Samuel Evanson Unleashes New Single ‘Christmas Bells’
Samuel Evanson closes out his defining year with ‘Christmas Bells’, a glistening synth-pop cut that feels both nostalgic and sharply future-facing. In typical Evanson fashion, the track wraps big emotion inside clean, crystalline production, pairing shivering synths with a drum pulse that flickers like fairy lights. It’s steeped in the glittery sentiment of 1980s holiday pop, but Evanson’s voice—raw, warm, and a little unsure—keeps it grounded firmly in the present.
There’s an intimacy running beneath the sparkle, a tug of vulnerability that recalls the earliest, most delicate stages of a new romance. Evanson leans into that emotional ambiguity, shaping a festive anthem that isn’t interested in perfection but in possibility. The track’s candied melodies mask a nervous heart, and that juxtaposition is exactly where his artistry thrives.
‘Christmas Bells’ ultimately lands as an unforced evolution from his acclaimed debut album. Evanson continues proving himself a master of mood and melody, and here he turns holiday tropes into something quietly affecting. It’s both a seasonal delight and a subtle reminder of why he’s become one of indie-pop’s most magnetic new voices.
