If I know one thing to be true, it’s that a butterfly loses its wings every time someone breaks Amelia Moore‘s heart, and after seeing her perform on a vibrant Tuesday night at The Echo in Los Angeles, the crowd confirmed that her feelings are protected. If not, she will write an infectious, soulful pop song about your wrongdoings.
The energy was electric, and with a vocal range to die for, a sold-out crowd gathered to lend an eager ear and a welcoming shoulder for the orange-haired Georgia peach who wears her hair on her baggy sleeves. It was a night of celebration—the release of Amelia Moore’s mixtape, He’s Still Just Not Into You, and the kickoff performance for her intimate five-city tour across the US and Europe. Like a scene from a ’90s coming-of-age movie, this vocal powerhouse and social media sensation wowed the crowd with her saucy dance moves, vibrant smile, and powerful voice, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening.
The night began with a bang, thanks to the sounds of the incredibly talented identical twin brothers AK and EJ Odjighoro, known as KAIRO, who turned up the good vibes and got everyone dancing. They performed tracks from their upcoming 2024 album, ARE WE THERE YET?, including the crowd favorite “BREAK BREAD.” When the excitement couldn’t get any higher, Amelia stepped onto the stage and introduced a surprise special guest: Teezo Touchdown! The two launched into their new hit “Spelling Bee,” kicking off her set with exhilarating energy.
Amelia is all about love, empowerment, “f*ck, marry, kill,” convos with friends, and standing up to those who wasted time, aka that boy/girl you want to say, “Love me or leave me alone.”
“If you’re in a situation right now with somebody who’s confusing you, love can be chaotic, but love is never confusing,” Amelia declared to the crowd. “You hear me. So if you’re in a situation where you’re confused, I want you to promise me and yourself tonight that the next time you see this person who’s playing games, you’re going to tell them what you really want. Because Amelia Moore said so, and you promised her.”
Following her words, she said, “That’s all I really want.” Everyone in the crowd passionately sang the words to every song, losing themselves in their feelings of love, what-ifs, and whatnots; you would think they wrote the songs themselves. Her striking orange hair wasn’t the only thing that mesmerized the audience; it was the music, pumped with lyrics so enticing that each word draws the fans closer in as she commanded the stage. Even with a couple of microphone mishaps, including scalping her mic pack and mic off its fragile rock orange extensions and leaving it balding like the men she dated, nothing could dim her shine.
Amelia was undeniably in her element, showcasing a blend of talent that combined the essence of the Lorax, the energy of Paramore, the vocal prowess of Christina Aguilera, and the charisma of Cyndi Lauper, all wrapped up in one unforgettable artist. While “See Through” might have been her breakout hit that grabbed everyone’s attention, she is more than a viral TikTok moment. She has that staying power that will make her a household name.
