There’s a new popstar in town and her name is Amelia Payne.

A 19-year-old Bajan native living in London, Payne’s debut single ‘Down’ is a powerful, vivid masterpiece laced with Caribbean undertones and an alluringly dark sound. Exploding with an unshakably almighty chorus and driven by a compelling, hypnotic tone, it’s an ambitious statement of intent that puts Amelia on a clear path to becoming pop’s next frontrunner.

Produced in London by Simon Brown, the track was written by Payne herself; coming as the golden product of a dedication to songwriting since she was a mere 14-years-old.

Born in Barbados, Payne and her family then moved to Miami where she would spend the next 8 years before returning to her birthplace. Singing, dancing and acting from as early as 7-years-old, it became obvious that singing was Amelia’s passion; she sung all the time and even got in trouble for singing out loud in class. Once back in Barbados Amelia started vocal training and began taking her craft seriously. Remarkably Amelia recorded her first track at just 13-years-of-age, and those early glimpses of Amelia’s talent lead to spots on Bajan TV and radio.
 Having honed her songwriting ability throughout her teenage years, Amelia’s pathway has been set in stone from an early age. The UK would eventually make its mark on Amelia when she moved to London in order to attend college. Payne brought her raw, prodigious talent with her. 

Now based in London full time, Amelia has been writing and producing her forthcoming EP. Lead by ‘Down’, it signals the time for Amelia to break through and, in turn, make her mark on the UK, a country whose diverse music scene has captivated her for the past 3 years. 

Whilst her virtuoso talent may set her apart, it’s Amelia’s incredible knack for big catchy pop hooks, her immaculate delivery and the dependable confidence in both that marks her out as pop’s new game changer.

The Battle

Pop’s brightest emerging talent Amelia Payne brings us her anticipated debut EP ‘My Escape’, available to stream and buy from the 28th July. It follows the release of infectious debut single ‘Down’ and empowering follow up ‘The Battle’, which both received critical acclaim. 

Payne is set to make her mark in the pop sphere with her masterfully catchy pop hooks, compelling lyrics and sultry Caribbean and R&B vibes. Alongside previous singles ‘Down’ and ‘The Battle’, the five track EP sees three new tracks; the dreamy and idyllic ‘Runaway’, upbeat Caribbean-influenced ‘Secret Rendezvous’ and heartfelt R&B track ‘Day By Day’.

Produced and co-written with Toby Scott (Little Mix, Pet Shop Boys) and Simon Brown (Girls Aloud, The Saturdays), the ‘My Escape’ EP showcases the emergence of a dynamic and remarkable artist with a budding future. “The story behind my EP solely came from the fact that I really wanted to create a body of work that truly showed who I am as an artist. I named the EP “My Escape” because at the end of the day music is my main escape from everything and it’s definitely something I can always run to to bring me nothing but happiness. I think a lot of people would agree that music is theirs as well. All the time taken to write this EP and every step I took in order to create each sound was a form of escaping from the world and releasing it back into my music,” Amelia says.

Born in Barbados, 19-year-old Payne spent eight years living in Miami with her family before returning to her birthplace. It was obvious singing was Amelia’s passion from an early age; she sung all the time and routinely got in trouble for singing out loud in class. Payne then started to develop her passion in singing, songwriting and dancing, honing her skills and taking her craft seriously. At just 13-years-old she remarkably recorded her first track which led to her talents being uncovered and aired on Bajan TV and radio.

Since shooting out of the gates with ‘Down’ and ‘The Battle’, Amelia has garnered support from top tastemaker sites including The Line Of Best Fit, Popjustice, Going Solo, Wonderland, tmrw Magazine, Spindle Magazine and across Hype Machine. Now residing in London full-time, Amelia is determined to make her mark in the UK and beyond bringing her raw, prodigious gift with her.

Amelia’s debut EP sees a sure-fire talent unfolding, creating the foundation of a confident young artist on the fast track to becoming pop’s most exciting ‘one to watch’
