When such a musician changes their entire world, moves across the borders, and makes a new start in a different land, a notable thing occurs: their music gets more daring, more courageous, and more truthful. The shift of Amelina, a soloist from Torrevieja, Spain, was not only a change in the location but also in her feelings. Her new video, "A New Year's Wish," is a perfect representation of such a metamorphosis with its visual and pop-rock elements.
Combining elements of teen, pop sincerity, the shimmering feeling of Christmas, and a sudden infusion of rock, style self-assurance, the song is a beautiful example of the artist’s journey to the discovery of the self through the avenue of celebration. It is a song that gets louder and more brilliant with each listening, much like the first few moments of a sparkler in the dark: quiet, and then suddenly very bright, very striking, and very hard to overlook. As Amelina eloquently explained, "The song is like fireworks, it starts quiet, then bursts into color and reminds you how alive you are." However, this party narrative is only one layer of the story.
The ’New Year’s Wish’ is a jolly theme only superficially; in fact, it implicitly conveys the idea that one should hold on to one’s confidence and self-worth even when life leads to unexpected major changes. The flashy guitars and the upbeat, catchy, to, sing, along nature of the song reflect the real changes in the artist's life story: obtaining the courage to quit Russia in 2023, making a new beginning in Spain, picking up a new language, and creating an artistic voice of one’s own from scratch. The changes have made her sound not just pop, but personal ones.
The clip leans into and then elevates the same feeling of starting over with strength and hope. Its look, somewhere between a movie and a diary entry, is very fitting for the idea of turning the page in one’s life with optimism and resolve. The video is full of the spirit of the young pop, rock idols such as Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, and Sabrina Carpenter, but at the same time, it has Amelina’s typical warmth.
Amelina’s music is full of energy, vibrant with color, and emotionally honest. Such songs as the motivational “Step by Step, ” the creative “Roblox Realms, ” and now the celebratory “A New Year’s Wish” are the representatives of the young artist’s journey, which she takes with absolute honesty and bravery. One element that connects every song in her portfolio is film, like the feeling that each piece of music is a new chapter leading up to something greater.
One of the prominent features of Amelina’s work is her skill in combining sensitivity with vibrant energy. Almost all of her mostly cheerful and lively songs, to be found here, share a common thread: the reality of the life she has lived thus far, the notion of someone learning, adjusting, and daring to dream anew.
“A New Year’s Wish” is far from being just another Christmas tune; rather, it is a powerful declaration of one’s existence. An indication that fresh starts may indeed be sources of strength.
