Amelie Jat has just released her latest single, “2028,” which features 80’s-inspired synths and dancey four-on-the-floor drums. This marks a departure from her usual pop-punk style, where she drew inspiration from artists like Avril Lavigne, Maggie Lindemann, and LØLØ. With “2028,” Jat presents a more layered and emotionally rich sound, moving away from the simple 2000’s throwback.

The sparkling production on “2028” is the work of James McMillan, a long-time collaborator and Emmy-nominated producer, with whom she previously worked on successful hits like “my band hates you!,” “Therapy,” and “Faking Parties.” Together, they created a sound that complemented Jat’s diary-like lyrics and ability to craft cutting phrases.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Amelie Jat began her musical journey with bedroom pop production and has now transitioned into the pop-punk universe, influenced by artists such as Maggie Lindemann, Avril Lavigne, and LØLØ. As a multi-instrumentalist, she started songwriting at 11, and she has since become a verified artist with the hope of connecting with people through her music. CONTINUE READING
