Beckah Amani announces debut album, This is how I remember it.
Burundian-Australian singer-songwriter Beckah Amani has announced her forthcoming debut album, This is how I remember it., and has shared new single, “Free Fall”.
“Free fall was a song I had to write. It’s not a song I had to think hard about or try hard to get to. I sonically wanted to capture the chaotic but wonderful and freeing moment when you decide to let go and dive into something new, trusting that you will land where you are meant to be. I wanted it to feel like both falling without a parachute and flying with a pair of new wings," Beckah Amani explains.
"Change can be so scary and trusting that things will work out can be so hard when you’re not confident in yourself and have a wall of insecurities and failure as your point of reference. I wrote the lyrics from a second person perspective hoping listeners can find strength and courage in the words during moments of uncertainty and growing pains.”
“The album narrative centers around conversations between two people who are in a relationship that’s falling apart. I think to be loved is to be seen. Being seen for who you are unfiltered and unedited, however, is both comforting and confronting at the same time," Amani continues on the album's themes.
"Through a series of memories and reflections, I wanted these conversations between these two people to explore how insecurities, how we see the world and past experiences, affect trust in a relationship, ultimately accepting that someone can love us for who we are. The narrative of the album serves to open a dialogue about the experiences and personal inferences that make it hard for us as people to give and receive love and do healthy relationships well."
This is how I remember it. is set for release on Friday 29 November, and is available to pre-order now.
