Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Amaroun will release her second single ‘Made A Fire’ on February 2n via LGM Records. Following support for debut single ‘Bed Bugs’ from Clash, Huw Stephens (BBC R1), Chris Hawkins (BBC 6 Music) and Maz Tappuni (Radio X), Amaroun (singer-songwriter Jay Brown) joined the highly acclaimed Communion Presents stable of artists in December – a natural fit for her unique brand of electronic soul-tinged guitar pop.
Of ‘Made A Fire’, Jay says: “The song was written in a heightened state, in the aftermath of my coming out. It’s a narrative progression from my previous single ‘Bed Bugs’, where I was deep in confusion, distraction and escapism. In ‘Made A Fire’ I’ve found clarity in the thrill of meeting someone new. When you find that person and there’s this instant connection you can’t deny, it’s something that’s hard to describe. This song is simply gratitude in musical form for that person and that feeling.
Currently working with artists including Charles Watson (Slow Club), LA Salami, Adam French, Fyfe Dangerfield (Guillemots) and Francobollo on a forthcoming recording project, Amaroun headlines Archspace in London on March 6th and is confirmed for this year’s Liverpool Sound City festival.
Live Shows:
Mar 6 – Archspace, London (Headline gig)
May 5 – Liverpool Sound City
