Emerging Toronto singer-songwriter Amaal hit us up with the surreal visual for her new single “Not What I Thought”. The love ballad is a prime example of her vocal strengths delivered in the right direction. Over a smooth, ethereal but bass booming soundscape courtesy of producer Iva Golubovic she takes the listener on a reflective journey down love’s memory lane.
The single gets a boost with a stunning music video shot in an other-worldly location and was directed by Sean Brown (Daniel Caesar, K. Roosevelt) along with Amaal’s creative direction. The video follows Amaal in various breathtaking landscapes courtesy of Sister Nature. It’s pretty enthralling, to be honest as the reliance on the natural forces makes it super organic and heartwarming.
In other news, Amaal reportedly has a new EP in the works so “Not What I Thought” is just a tip of the iceberg. Get the song on all DSPs HERE.
