A striking R&B/soul gem that’s overflowing with raw emotion.
London-based singer-songwriter Amethyst has carved a unique space in the music scene with her ability to spark important conversations through her work. Her artistry has gained recognition from influential platforms like Jamie Cullum, Jazz FM, 1XTRA, Reprezent, COLORS, Tidal, GUAP, Dummy Mag, and Crack Magazine. Drawing inspiration from a rich blend of artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Donny Hathaway, Gregory Porter, Beyoncé, Lianne La Havas, and Jazmine Sullivan, Amethyst’s sound masterfully blends modern R&B production with old-school soul instrumentation. Her lush, soulful jazz vocals are at the forefront of this fusion.
Amethyst’s latest album, “Day Dreaming,” continues to showcase her exceptional style, with standout tracks like “Loving Is a Crime.” This track, like much of her work, highlights Amethyst’s deep emotional range and musical prowess, setting her apart as a voice to watch in the world of contemporary soul and jazz-infused R&B.
With a seriously sweet blend of soothing instrumentals and mood-enhancing tones, “Loving Is a Crime” by Amethyst combines ear-pleasing R&B and soul elements to create an emotionally stirring backdrop that perfectly complements its powerful tale of heartbreak. Lyrics like “You said it would be different baby, Think I’m blind to your silly games” and “You said you love me baby but that don’t explain the way you feel, She said she loves you baby, That’s enough to know just how you feel” capture the artist’s raw reflections on a love that ultimately left her heartbroken.
The song’s soft, soulful vocals, paired with a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere, make this track a standout. Amethyst delivers a beautifully crafted R&B/soul gem overflowing with emotion and vulnerability.
