Back Home

This song vividly yet tenderly captures the difficulty of taking steps into a loving relationship after brutal behaviour from others has destroyed your sense of self. In a powerful blow to the heart, To Be Known offers the hope that everyone can learn to be valued and seen even if life has taught them otherwise until now.

Producer: Phil Saatchi

Bite Me!

To Be Known

Deflating doll
Bouncing around
In every direction
I'm fine
Gasping for air
I'm running out
I am slowly running out
I'm fine

Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces
Sometimes I want to explode
Into a million pieces

Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together
Together
Together
Will you glue me
Will you glue me back
Together

I'm fine

Sad yet inspirational, this anti-bullying anthem combines acoustic guitar with orchestral strings in an epic singersongwriter style. Born from Amelie's experience of being bullied at school, she hopes to raise awareness of the issue, and inspire others who have been or are going through tough times.

Made It Through (Unplugged Remix)

'Tabula Rasa' explores the the itch to shake off the past and start again with a blank slate. It's the third single from Bethany's upcoming EP The Story I Breathe.

Tabula Rasa

UK duo Matthew Grumball and Joe McRoberts are Manta Ray. 

Sharing a love of JJ Cale's melodic grooves and Aphex Twin's face-melting, the band formed in 2024 with Matthew on guitar/vocals and Joe on drums/BVs. 

None of this would be possible without guest musicians Joe Marshall, Rob Comer, Nazar Artykula and Sammy Deveille. 

Back Home (demo) was released as their debut March 2025.
