What if the homeschool girl from your community theater troupe transformed into an alternative R&B outlier with an extraterrestrial high fashion sense and sourly sweet wit? She’d probably be a bit like Amelia Moore. The Georgia-born and Los Angeles-based songstress, producer, and multi-instrumentalist stretches sonic and stylistic boundaries almost to a breaking point, only to rein them in with the kind of sticky hooks you can’t shake. Homeschooled during her childhood, Amelia embraced music and never let go, singing in choir and performing in local theater. Graduating high school at 16, she enrolled in Belmont University. One writing trip inspired her to drop out of school and settle in Los Angeles. A series of releases paved the way for her 2022 debut EP, teaching a robot to love. She performed “I feel everything” on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, and Apple Music spotlighted her as “Up Next.” Following a series of professional twists and turns, she independently dropped he’s just not that into you! EP. She caught Timbaland’s attention during a TikTok live stream, leading to a collab with the legendary producer on “back to him.” In the EP’s wake, she personally funded her own headline tour and made a star-worthy turn at Camp Flog Gnaw. Amelia lit up social media again with “see through,” attracting Absolutely, Coco Jones, and Samara Cyn for a fiery remix.
Following widespread acclaim from tastemakers and fans alike, buzzing alternative pop disruptor Amelia Moore uncovers her anxiously awaited new EP, he’s still just not that into you!, out now. Listen HERE.
The project kicks into high gear with the single “spelling bee” featuring Teezo Touchdown. Beeping synth transmissions underline her lusty verses laced with double entendre as she breathlessly wonders, “How do I say what’s on my brain?” She cleverly spells out her intentions for “t-h-e b-e-d” during the chorus only for Teezo Touchdown to join in on the fun with his own flirty and “f-u-n” lyrical response.
About the song, Amelia says, “‘spelling bee’ is a cheeky way to tell someone you’re obsessed with what you want them do to you. I hope people dance to it as much as we did while we were making it!”
She preceded the EP with “fck, marry, kill” in March, marking her first release with Republic Records. Elsewhere, she takes back the classic melody of Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 staple “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” and gives it a Gen Z makeover on “that’s all they really want.” Slowing the tempo, Amelia’s voice barely cracks a whisper, cutting through soft piano. She laments, “But don’t get your hopes up, ‘cause boys just wanna have fun.” Emotion overflows on the closer “emily.” A cassette tape flips and buckles, and glitchy guitar echoes above the feedback. In a moment of naked vulnerability, she exhales, “We really don’t call each other anymore, and it’s crazy ‘cause you used to call me yours.”

She adds, “I’ve experienced so much beauty and so much chaos while navigating my love life since I moved away from home. I was an innocent-sheltered-religious-homeschooled girl in Gwinnett County, Georgia who led worship for my student group…but deep down I secretly wished for the experiences that inspired these songs.”
In support of he’s still just not that into you!, she brings her electrifying live show to both coasts this May. Catch her EP release shows at The Echo in Los Angeles on May 27th and Baby’s All Right in New York on May 29th – a must-see for fans eager to experience her raw energy and captivating sound in an intimate setting.

Amelia will also take the stage at Outside Lands festival in San Francisco this August, giving fans another chance to see her live under the summer sky.
She capped off a breakout 2024 with a high-powered all-female remix of her banger “see through” featuring Coco Jones, Absolutely, and Samara Cyn. Right out of the gate, ELLE named the track as one of the best they heard in December, going on to applaud how, “On this remix to the viral track, she enlists Coco Jones with her buttery alto, pop up-and-comer Absolutely, and Samara Cyn to top it off with laid-back rhymes.”
she continues to morph at lightspeed for much more to come in 2025, as her new ep he’s still just not that into you! is out now.
