Track of the Day: Amity – White To The Murder (2026)
Amity found a passion for songwriting at age 9 with original songs flowing from his pen; at age 15, he started turning heads… bringing a vibe… building a buzz… whatever you want to call it. The fact is, this South London teenager made media, radio stations, venue promoters, festival promoters, music industry professionals, and all listeners coming across his streaming sites sit up and take notice. At 19 years of age, the unconventional singer-songwriter has a growing, and glowing, reputation as an “artist for our time” – not only is his music confident and intriguing, but he continues to explore those more difficult areas of reality. Today, the award-winning musician hits our ears with his single, ‘White To The Murder’.
An epic collaborative project, ‘White To The Murder’ was produced at Tileyard Studios by award-winning producer Sean Hargreaves, with mixing by Jeff Knowler. Following his single, ‘City of Stars’, ‘White To The Murder’ is in a word: dark – both lyrically and melodically.
Heavy and hard-hitting, ‘White To The Murder’ isn’t necessarily a punch to the gut, slap you on the cheek, overwhelmingly in your face; instead, the desperation, fear, and beneath your skin chilling leaks in as the melody slowly winds up your legs, into your heart, and rocks about your brain with a silvery, welcome darkness.
Beginning starkly with a piano and Amity’s distinctive tenor – rich, confident, and, given the track is a social commentary on today’s global uncertainty, almost authoritative. The fullness of his vocals are like a person leading a peaceful protest through the streets. Add Adam Round’s edgy bass and Meg Ella’s cello, paired with backing vocals from Rick and Meg Leigh, and the sound might suit The Amityville Horror.
As I mentioned, lyrically the track is Amity’s social commentary, taking on “… an unjust world, speaking out against the rise of fascism and targeting of minorities in the name of patriotism and religion.” The final line, “ We are all gonna burn if we disobey”, rounds the song off perfectly; a sense of finality, warning and conclusiveness.
