LA’s rising pop sensation Amelia McLean wrestles with heavy themes—change, identity, grief, and finding her own power—on the stunning "Dark Days." This cinematic gem gives us a tantalizing peek at her debut album Frowned Upon Daughter.
The track’s sweeping soundscapes blend seamlessly with McLean’s raw, intimate storytelling. Her deeply personal yet universally relatable style mirrors the album’s stream-of-consciousness flow.
McLean dives headfirst into her unconventional upbringing with striking vulnerability. The album comes alive through powerhouse collaborations—acclaimed producer Justin Glasco (who’s worked with Paris Paloma, The Lone Bellow, Brandy Clark, Rufus Wainwright) and guitarist David Levita (Alanis Morissette, Tim McGraw, Lana Del Rey, Kacey Musgraves). It’s simultaneously bold and tender. Quite the combination, really.
McLean’s ethereal musicality reflects years of unwavering dedication to her craft.
She’s also set to captivate audiences with a live performance at her upcoming Sofar Sounds show in Los Angeles on September 19th.
