Indie rock singer-songwriter Amelle Rose releases new single ‘Wish You Well’, today.

‘Wish You Well’ is a hauntingly atmospheric song that delves into Amelle’s experience with hypersensitivity. Through a powerful exploration of profound empathy, the song lays bare the complexities of blurring the line between the suffering of others and personal pain. Though empathy is often celebrated, Amelle reveals how it can feel like burden she carries in silence.

With stream-of-consciousness lyrics that read like personal journaling, the song gradually builds to feelings of guilt, coupled with an atmospheric crescendo that mirrors feelings of anxiety: “If I write about it, does that make me a narcissist?”. The song ends with a reflection on societal pressures to maintain a facade of strength; the repeated line “shut down your emotions” becomes a desperate plea, revealing a futile attempt to manage her overwhelming surge of feelings.

Amelle is presenting a narrative where there are no clear-cut answers, embracing the nuances of the human experience. ‘Wish You Well’ offers no resolution and leaves listeners confronting the uncomfortable truths it exposes- a recurrent theme throughout her new EP Yours Sincerely, set to be released in November.
