The year of Amaal is underway. You'll fall under her spell after one listen. Let Amaal take you away.
With a voice as bewitching, bold, and brilliant as her quixotic presence, Amaal entrances with earth-shattering emotion and an unbelievable story. Her family traded their native Somalia for Toronto at the height of Civil War during the early nineties. Acclimating to a whole new world, she immediately gravitated towards music and singing. In between honing her blockbuster voice, she dropped a series of independent releases and garnered viral popularity for the likes of "Mufasa," which racked up over 1 million combined views on YouTube and inspired multiple covers. With her new partnership with Public Records, she ignited 2019 by way of "Not What I Thought." Not only did it generate half-a-million Spotify streams, but it also achieved widespread acclaim. Tagged as a "Song of the Day," The Line of Best Fit noted how it "empowers and allures," and Complex promised it "will take your breath away." The Fader put it best, claiming "[she] started 2019 off on a high note." KEEP UP WITH AMAAL! Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Soundcloud | Spotify |
