Amelina’s “A New Year’s Wish” – Fireworks Forged from Fresh Concrete
The latest single from Amelina titled "A New Year Wish" scintillates brilliantly and buzzes with the same holiday static we have all heard before, that space between hope and fear, silently live fireworks and the silence just before they go off. She wrote it while she stood on her own fresh concrete, just settling into a rebuilt life starting over (leaving Russia to relocate to Spain) in 2023. New country. New language. No stage waiting for her. Just a guitar, and a diary filled with partially voiced dreams and the fortitude to repurpose both into a melody.
The song opens gently, almost shyly, like someone leaning in to share a secret over the last remnants of a warm pint of beer at a New Year party - and then it bursts open. The guitars flare with bright optimism. The drums lift with sweat producing exuberance. Her voice swells back with that unmistakable pop rock spirit - the excitement and determination we recognized from early Avril to early Taylor to Lady Gaga, now the confident face of the new and expanding party. Just like that the silence becomes color. Fireworks. It is ash falling in slow motion. That exact emotional micro-beat we have all recognized: The maybe this year I finally tell the world who I am.
Amelina does not pursue a shiny, brand buttons look. She values authenticity— the felt, the textured, a little frayed around the edges. In her images is the wide-eyed optimist who is also a scrapper; in her vocal tones is the girl who learned to rebuild without losing her shimmer. "A New Year's Wish" feels less a holiday single and more a cinematic check-point in her own Hero's Journey, another chapter to the growing catalogue that moves like stitched together film scenes held together by bravery.
From “Step by Step” to “Roblox Realms,” she’s been sketching worlds where vulnerability stands tall. Here, she plants a flag: a wish, a dare, a promise. A reminder — in all that static and all that shine — that starting over can sound electric.
