Armed with a soulful voice and the lyrics to match its pensive inflections, Amie Blu’s music rarely lacks clarity. This sense of artistic direction has come in handy for the 19-year-old South Londoner, who first took her strides into the world of contemporary R&B last year.

Now expanding on her promising debut, Blu has returned with “powder,” a hard-hitting, thought-provoking track disguised as a delicate lullaby. Adorned with her soft, reassuring vocals, the record’s fanning harmonies brushed across an acoustic soundscape make for the perfect finishing touch to her emotional ballad.

Released nearly a year following her debut EP, “powder” indicates the beginning of a new era in Amie Blu’s career.
