Featured Artist - 03/January/2020
Two years ago, Amel D was known as Amelia Dirhardjo. Amelia was a singer of piano ballads and traditional music, popular in her home country of Indonesia. However, taking a cue from her fans, she redefined her sound and image to better represent her true
self as an artist. She became a rocker. Amel D was born.
The artist’s transformation began with the 2018 album,
“Revived.” On that record she introduced her new
Modern Rock sound. The singer found inspiration in
Metal and Alternative bands from each era of the
past twenty years.
D is back with a brand new single about long
distance and unrequited love. On “I’m Your Rain,”
the singer belts out emotional Alt-Metal wails
that would make her idols in Linkin Park proud.
The track’s pristine production features
her powerful vocals alongside big,
sprawling electric guitar power chords.
An air tight rhythm section holds down
the beat while shredding lead guitars
maintain the intense energy of her
lead and backing vocals. Amel’s
piano is still in the mix as well.
It fits perfectly in this
cinematic and emotional
Progressive Rock sound.
At times, the piano,
vocal and electric
guitar combo give “I’m
Your Rain” a bit of an
Evanescence feel. It
works, very nicely.
“I’m Your Rain” is the first from the
singer’s forthcoming album CROSS TO HELL.
The song is an excellent introduction to Amel D’s fresh Alternative Rock sound. And it is an exciting precursor of things to come on the her new album
