Amara Fe, from Mission, United States, has music literally running through her veins. Her uncle Eugene & Rene used to jam in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and her grandmother actually wrote songs for Minnie Riperton. But here’s what makes Fe different: she’s not riding on those family coattails. She took all that musical DNA and decided to do things her own way. Originally planning to stay behind the scenes as a songwriter, she quickly realized that getting your music to the right people is nearly impossible unless you’re already connected. So she said, “forget it” and decided to make the music herself.
“When industry doors close, artists learn to build their own stages.”
“Reborn” is what happens when an artist takes complete control of their vision, and honestly, it shows in all the best ways. This isn’t some rushed debut trying to catch lightning in a bottle. It’s a thoughtful collection of songs that proves Fe knows exactly who she is as an artist. She talks about the decision to stop being just a songwriter and become a full artist, about carrying family musical history while making her own mark, and about the challenges of staying true to yourself in an industry that often rewards conformity.
Right from the start, you can tell Fe isn’t interested in staying in her lane. Each track serves a purpose in the bigger picture she’s painting. The fact that Fe handles so much of the creative process herself shows throughout “Reborn.” That kind of creative control, especially on a debut, is rare and impressive. This album announces Amara Fe as an artist worth watching. She’s got the talent, the vision, and the work ethic to make a real impact.
The hip-hop tracks on “Reborn” show off Fe’s skills without feeling like she’s showing off, if that makes sense. Fe is not afraid to talk about struggles and setbacks, but she’s not wallowing either. It’s the kind of honest perspective that makes you want to root for her while also feeling inspired to tackle your own challenges. “Reborn” proves that sometimes the best response to obstacles is simply making something undeniably good. Fe faced industry barriers and decided to go around them rather than wait for permission.
Give it a listen, you might just find your new favorite artist.
