Taken from forthcoming debut EP New Beginnings on 1st September, Me & You once again showcases Amal’s versatility as an artist. Her eclectic sound has attracted industry support from some of music’s leading tastemakers with premiere’s launching on Hunger Magazine and Clash Magazine alongside features in the likes of Earmilk.
Known for founding the Justin Fashanu Foundation as well as creating The Black Heart Label, a clothing brand designed to promote activism through fashion, Amal’s love of music has meant a seamless transition into performing.
