Amelie Lucille brings a great depth of feeling to her vocal performance in “See Me,” going from a rich alto in the verses to soaring notes in the choruses. It’s a song about toxic relationships of all stripes (romantic, familial, friendships) and how it can feel difficult to get them out of your psyche when your emotions and bonds of love and affection that tie those connections together in lingering waves. The low end pulse running throughout the song feels like the part of your mind that’s gentle and reminds you that you can indeed move beyond the terrible dynamic that keeps you attached to people and situations bad for you. The melancholic violin is like a coaxing to better places and mourning what was good about the times you shared with the associations that no longer serve your life. Musically the song is like a fusion of downtempo sensibilities and the kind of orchestral, emotional sweep one heard in The Verve’s 1997 hit “Bittersweet Symphony.” The rich production and Lucille’s commanding and vulnerable performance draws you in for a transformative and liminal moment in the heart when you’re ready to let go of the situations and people that hold you back from leading your best life while also accepting the feelings and experiences that have brought you to that moment. It’s a song of rare emotional nuance and sonic depth that will bring you back for repeat listens. Witness “See Me” for yourself on Spotify and follow Amelie Lucille at the links below.
