Just like her musical heroes and heroines Serge Gainsbourg, Scott Walker, Joni Mitchell, Neil Hannon, Rufus Wainwright, Liza Minelli and David Bowie, Amelia Coburn has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless.
Drawing inspiration from gothic literature and the shadowy allure of film noir, there is a darkness at the heart of many of her songs, populated by vivid characters and nocturnal creatures that inhabit the liminal space “between the moon and the milkman”.
Her Bill Ryder-Jones produced debut album gained a cult following, including praise from British music legends Paul Weller and Paul Heaton - as well as national radio play across BBC Radios 2, 3, 4, 5, 6music, Scotland, Ulster and Introducing in the North East.
Hailed as “one to watch in 2025” by Louder Than War, Seetickets and Drowned In Sound, Amelia hit the ground running with spellbinding sets at SXSW in Texas.
Audiences continued to grow thanks to enchanting support slots with the likes of The Levellers, Hamish Hawk, Stornoway and Katherine Priddy - not to mention her own headline UK tour. Furthermore, a feature on Paul Weller’s latest album Find El Dorado solidified Coburn’s burgeoning reputation
Amelia’s honest, occasionally hilarious and quintessentially north-eastern persona disarms and beguiles in equal measure: this is art without artifice.
"A great voice with great tunes" - Paul Weller in Mojo Magazine
"In a cynical, meta-obsessed world, her music is wide-eyed, guileless and fresh" - The Arts Desk (Album of the Year)
