(30 April) London-via-Glasgow singer-songwriter Alex Amor makes a luminous return today with her new single ‘Seeing Angels’. The release follows a triumphant, sold-out show last night at London’s Folklore Hoxton, capping off recent dates supporting rising pop talents Good Neighbours and Gretta Ray.
New single 'Seeing Angels,' produced by Peter Brien (Kojaque, Kean Kavanagh) is a captivating return for Amor. Her rich Glaswegian lilt drifts through gauzy indie-folk and sunlit country-pop tones, with songwriting that feels both effortless and finely honed. Beneath the track’s soft glow lies a quiet resilience - a story of rediscovery and emotional clarity, where tenderness becomes transformative and love gently realigns what once felt adrift.
“‘Seeing Angels’ is about the healing nature of women—our ability to guide, nurture, and mend broken hearts," Alex explains. "It speaks to the way we become a source of strength in love, offering steady hands and acting as a compass pointing north, leading toward better days. Finding the wrong person can be devastating, but choosing the right partner can change everything. This song is about that kind of love—the kind that turns your world upside down, alchemises your pain, and makes you believe in something greater. Makes you believe in angels."
A tapestry of laid-back grooves, shimmering guitars, and vocals that feel both close and distant, like a memory half-remembered, 'Seeing Angels' is the first new taste of Alex Amor's first full length project, which she is currently adding the finishing touches to.
"This new music came as a result from an intense and transformative period in my life," Alex said. "Coming out the other side of that time, I found a new sense of clarity about the direction I wanted to take creatively — a side of songwriting where I’d only scratched the surface. I’ve always been a romantic, who also contains a melancholic sensibility of sorts. Now I’m not afraid of the dark, to dig a little deeper, ready to bare it all."
Imbued with mystery and wonder, Alex Amor’s self-described ‘Cosmic Americana’ draws from a constellation of singular voices: the raw emotional gravity of Mitski and Adrianne Lenker, the nocturnal haze of Cigarettes After Sex, the dreamlike shimmer of Beach House, the storytelling strength of Julia Jacklin, and the cinematic grandeur of Weyes Blood.
To date Alex Amor has released three EPs: her debut ‘Love Language’ in 2021 and 'The Art Of Letting Go' in 2022 and 'Super Sonic' in 2023. Her music has garnered over 5 million streams and earned widespread support across radio and press: BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders, Sian Eleri), The Line of Best Fit, DIY Magazine, CLASH Magazine, Dork Magazine, Wonderland, The Rodeo, Notion, 1883 Magazine, The Skinny, Ones To Watch, The Sunday Mail and The Scotsman. Previously Alex has performed at festivals including The Great Escape, TRNSMT and Dot To Dot alongside UK tours and shows with Thomas Headon, Good Neighbours, The Snuts, Gretta Ray, Swim Deep and VLURE.
Alex Amor's new single 'Seeing Angels' is out now, released 30th April.
