Amirah, awarded singer and songwriter, dropped a genre borderless single ‘Tell Me’ in which she delivers dreamy pop, and a cinematic vibe built over world music fundamentals.
‘Tell Me’ is an outcome of Amirah’s journey as a citizen of the world who dreams about a world that’s united and peaceful. In her latest interview with Girls Talk HQ, Amirah opened up about her music inspiration and the way she transmits her rich Malaysian-Indian heritage into art:
I am very proud of my biracial heritage. Growing up in a melting pot of cultures such as Malaysia definitely shaped my sound and who I am as an artist. I was exposed to both Malay and Indian cultures at home and learned to appreciate, understand and love them both. Music, language, dance, and the fusion of foods in Malaysia are absolutely out of this world. There is nowhere else I have seen where a person can experience so much fusion and diversity in a single nation.However, this also raised many questions regarding my identity. How can I be both modern and embrace my cultural roots? Why do I have to choose? This sparked my journey in experimenting and fusing traditional Eastern instruments into my cinematic pop music today.
