Burundian-Australian singer-songwriter Beckah Amani has announced details about her debut album, This is how I remember it.
Dropping on Friday 29th November, This is how I remember it. is billed as a conversation between two former lovers which delves into the insecurities and global events that shaped the rise and fall of their relationship. Through its deeply personal narrative, the album invites listeners to reflect on the complexities that hinder our ability to give and receive love, ultimately fostering healthier connections.
Of the forthcoming album, Beckah says in a press release: “The album narrative centers around conversations between two people who are in a relationship that’s falling apart. I think to be loved is to be seen. Being seen for who you are unfiltered and unedited, however, is both comforting and confronting at the same time. Through a series of memories and reflections, I wanted these conversations between these two people to explore how insecurities, how we see the world and past experiences, affect trust in a relationship, ultimately accepting that someone can love us for who we are. The narrative of the album serves to open a dialogue about the experiences and personal inferences that make it hard for us as people to give and receive love and do healthy relationships well.”
The announcement follows the hotly tipped artist’s recent Australian tour supporting Jorja Smith, as well as Beckah’s showcase performances for SXSW Sydney 2024.
To celebrate the news, Beckah shares “Free Fall”, a soothing anthem that applauds the courage to release control and trust in the path ahead, and invites listeners to embrace the art of letting go, trusting that fate will guide them to the right destination.
