"Heart Yearns" holds a special place in the repertoire of Amata Bob since it is the first song ever written (circa 2018) for her eponymous act. The song lyrics reflect the innocence and rawness of her young artistry then. She credits her collaborators, including Ben Feggans (mastering), Arun Kailasan (bass), Alloy Francis (drums), and Sujith VV (guitars, mixing, and production), for the beautiful sound that makes the listeners lost in reverie.

Heart Yearns

'Minimal' is the first track fully produced by Amata Bob for her eponymous act. This song is about what it means to have freedom of expression, as a woman. It is inspired by true events.

Amata Bob is a genre-bending musician and music producer based in Cochin, Kerala. She is a trained Carnatic vocalist and a former Syrian Christian chorister whose versatility parks her voice in multiple singing styles, from metal to musical theater. She cherry-picks sounds that best express her sonic narrative. Not surprisingly, one may come across an avant-garde song today and a power ballad tomorrow in her repertoire. 

With over ten years of experience, Amata is no stranger to the music industry: she performed to critical praise with international artists, including Asmaa' Azaizeh (International Theatre Festival of Kerala, 2023) and Nicolas Jaar (Free.wav 2.0, 2023); her stage act opened for Chinmayi and Govind Vasantha (Fanfare The Buzzaar, 2019); she was among the Top 100 artists of the AR Rahman-curated Nexa Music 2022; and she lent vocals for Indian National Film Award-winning projects ("Empty Days" by Basic CJ from "Oru Paathiraa Swapnam Pole" [translated as "Like a Midnight Dream" in Malayalam], 2021).   

Apart from personal projects, Amata also leads a women-first music collective for improving inclusivity and creating safe spaces for all musicians in the local context. She is also an enterprising sound artist who has begun collaborating with indigenous "tholpaavakoothu" (translated as shadow puppetry in Malayalam) artists and borrowing from her neuroscience research background for upcoming projects.
