Amira B / Press

“New York based Amira B proves old school and contemporary R&B goes hand in hand – when it's done right. Channelling the likes of neo-soul kweens Solange and Erykah Badu, Amira’s velvet-like vocals floats effortlessly over the tranquil musicality, creating a sound that is a total vibe as a result.”

“Singer/songwriter Amira B is back with a new gem titled 'Away,' which is more than needed in these crazy times. Armed with her smooth honeyed vocals, Amira delivers the goods over the mellow R&B/soul backdrop laid before her.”

“Blurry synths herald her soft, emotive vocal, and while the bass pops and adds some funk to proceedings, Amira lays down a hazy, blissed out, funk-filled slice of glittering pop.”

“‘Alive’ taps into the raw essence of neo-soul with its lush guitars and soul-gripping textures as Amira B takes the listener on a heartfelt journey on lost-love and the domino effect. As usual, she delivers a solid emotional performance over the smooth heartwarming backdrop. 'Alive' is reminiscent of Neo-Soul singers Erykah Badu, Amel Larrieux, and Miss Lauryn Hill.”

“Amira B is not stopping for breaks as she delivers the third single ‘Day by Day’ which is the follow up to the previously released ‘How Do I Know.’ The soft-voiced singer once again shows why we love her at TWIB with another gripping performance with lyrics everyone can relate to.”

“Amira B‘s new single sees her teaming up with producer/songwriter CARRTOONS (Ben Carr) on her new song 'How Do I Know.' The track blends soul, hip-hop with some R&B sensibilities and showcases Amira’s angelic vocals and overall range. The record sees her sharing her doubts about a blossoming relationship over a vibrant retro backdrop with an overall vibe that is reminiscent of contemporary R&B singers Aaliyah, H.E.R., and Mary J. Blige.”

“With a sound reminiscent of night-time beachy sadness, Amira’s sultry vocals crooning out 'How do I know your feelings for me are real?' is a gift to the ears. Paired with a simple but nearly ominous instrumental, the blend it creates with the emotion in Amira’s voice is seamless.”

“Amira B's 'Do You' is an uplifting soulful record we all need. The record brims of lush, soulful textures which are accentuated by B’s honeyed vocals and uplifting lyrics which lean towards self-love and acceptance on all levels.”

“Channeling nostalgia from late 90s era urban pop, sultry NYC songstress Amira B combines raw lyrics with groovy funk vibes. Her latest single, “Never Gonna Fall In Love,” is a chilled out slice of R&B that draws inspiration from both Mariah Carey and Natasha Bedingfield and features a verse from rapper Rich G. who channels some serious Young Jeezy vibes.”

“With a voice as crisp as a newly ripened apple and a sound as smooth as slowly melting chocolate, today’s exclusive artist, Amira B, is a songwriter who will leave a lasting impression on your ears...She’s been compared to Ashanti, Alicia Keys, and Mary J. Blige."”

““Never Gonna Fall In Love,” the latest cut from Amira, encapsulates that wonderful sense of self that comes when striving on your own and is premiering here today on Impose along with an interview. On the track, featuring a verse from Rich G, the singer/songwriter’s smooth vocals ride atop a classic soul/R&B style beat as the sounds and textures carry you away towards better, sun-soaked, self-assured days. Enjoy with some shades, your best stunt outfit and the iciest Corona you can find.”

“Next in the hot seat is New York City-based R&B / Soul singer Amira B. We have not had the privilege of featuring Amira B here on the pages of Indie Minded, so we are thrilled to bring you this short interview. If you’re not familiar with her, sit back and enjoy!”

“R&B and soul singer-songwriter Amira B showcases a noteworthy vocal talent in her new album, Defined. Backed by a soul/funk group featuring also a fierce brass section, the vocalist delivers dazzling soul tracks worthy of FM radio rotation, like intimate single “I am Defined,” which expresses her self-discovery through personal hardships. Amira B landed a residency at Pianos during the month of July (every Tuesday), which is always a promising sign.”

“Her new album, Defined, comes following a recovery from a pseudo-cyst on her vocal chords that originally looked to be incurable. That and other real life adversities serve as fodder for Amira B as she defiantly swaggers atop the ten tracks with her indomitable vocals.”

“Although faced with adversity in pursuing her dream of singing and recording music, R&B, soul and funk-inspired singer, Amira B, didn't let that stop her. When she found out she had a pseudo-cyst that was originally thought to just be an ailment and that she'd have to learn to sing with it, she fervently pursued her love of music, and has done so with passion and conviction. Since her 2012 prognosis her vocal timbre and range are still fully intact.”

“She’s been likened to Songwriting favourite Joss Stone, along with Leona Lewis and Amy Winehouse. We couldn’t agree more with those comparisons and are going to throw in our own, to Beverley Knight and Corinne Bailey Rae.”

“Now, the talented singer is getting ready to release a new album, Defined, which is teased by two singles, 'Wouldn’t I Like To Know' and 'I Am Defined.' The former is a classic kiss-off and the latter a powerful statement of self re-assurance as booty shaking grooves, funky horns and Amira’s pitch perfect, soulful vocals highlight both cuts.”

“This clean cut from her new record is a chill-inducing groove that reaches deep for your emotions and doesn’t let go. With a horn section and Santana-esque guitar solo to bring it home, this one will be stuck in your head for the rest of the week. Her new record, Defined, is out June 16th via self-release. Stay tuned.”

“'I Am Defined' captures the raw energy of an artist coming into her own in an extraordinary fashion. Amira B doesn’t just take the stage: She blitzes through it, driven by passion and sheer willpower. This is her moment; this is her time. Bold and unforgiving, 'I Am Defined' lays solid groundwork for Amira B’s forthcoming album Defined while also establishing the artist as a powerhouse of soulful emotion.”

“On the track, Amira B swaggers over Nick Soundz’s perfect dark-pop production as her stunning, soul-heavy vocals leave a lame lover in the dust. Add in Supe The Dude’s excellent bars and you have two star-in-the-making turns all in one.”

“Her sound blends soul, R&B, and funk, and her sultry vocals over the top take everything to a new level. Comparable to artists like Joss Stone, she is also incredibly gifted as a writer, which is the core component to developing a great sound.”

“Filed under 'amazing high school musical performances.'”

“With Amira Baigina turning on the playfully steamy charm in Lost and Found.”
