Amelie Jat Claps Back With Cinematic Revenge Anthem “my band hates u!”
Amelie Jat laughs, cries, and turns full girl-boss on “my band hates u!” She revels in angst on this sassy pop-rock/pop-punk breakup anthem while her band supports her through an unfortunately dramatic breakup.
LONDON, UK (May 26th, 2023) - London based artist Amelie Jat flourishes in her signature pop-punk sound on her new summer single “my band hates u!” available now. With the sublimely cheeky music video accompanying the release, Jat is beyond excited to continue sharing new music following her first headline show in London earlier this spring. At its core, “my band hates u!” is more than a breakup anthem - it also shines a light on the people that support us through our toughest times and remind us to pick ourselves up and feel empowered to bounce back. This sarcastic girl-boss track embraces the full scope of emotions inherent to heartbreak; Jat processes everything from anger, to longing, to her most vulnerable hurt-feelings while coming to terms with the fact that not everyone we’re attracted to is actually good for us. Listeners can expect a sound similar to tracks from artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Maggie Lindemann, and Dylan on “my band hates u!”
When Jat started the writing process for the single, she thought of it more as a joke than a serious project to be released in the future. Jat has an especially close relationship with her bandmates who have become more like the protective older brothers she’s never had, and after confiding to them about her situation, they all made it clear how much they disliked the guy that was mistreating her. In the days following, Jat found herself humming what would be the chorus to this song during a bus ride; it ended up becoming so much more than the casually dreamt up, cheeky concept she believed it to be at the time. She collaborated with producer James McMillan to bring the song to life after developing the initial idea. This track goes out to anyone who knows what it feels like to be let down by someone you should’ve never allowed to have so much power over you in the first place. Jat hopes listeners feel empowered to laugh, cry, and scream-sing this single in spite of anyone who has taken them for granted.
Stream “my band hates u!” on all major streaming platforms now.
More about Amelie:
Amelie Jat transforms her most honest emotions and experiences to create her own original sound of genre-blurring, diary-like pop tracks. Born and raised in Hong Kong, she discovered her love of the drum kit at the age of 3 and swiftly shifted her passions onto playing orchestral percussion, such as the four-mallet vibraphone.
Starting with a sound of bedroom pop production, she has now crossed over into the pop punk universe with influences like Maggie Lindemann, Avril Lavigne, and LØLØ. A multi-instrumentalist who began songwriting on her childhood bedroom floor at the age of 11, she is now a verified artist and hopes that her music will reach people and connect with them.
Stepping out of her comfort zone and taking on a new direction, Amelie has released 3 new pop-punk singles in 2022, all co-written & co-produced with Grammy-nominated producer James McMillan. Since the release of “I’M OUT”, “Therapy” & “Electric Butterflies” (which has surpassed 129k YouTube views), she has gained 85k TikTok followers, with her most viewed post being close to two thirds of a million views, and the newest 2 singles are currently on over 350 Spotify playlists worldwide. Her new mixtape “CINEMATIC!” is an extension of her most chaotic, shaping, and memorable moments as she moves through life and comes into her own, and is every main character’s soundtrack.
