‘The third single from Amelle Sebert, a.k.a ‘Miami’ is another in the slow-build towards her debut album. She’s not taken the industry by storm or really ignited it enough in a way to make her considered a stand-out or even a rising star. From what we know and what we’ve heard, she’s just there I guess, putting out a song every now and then and “working” on her debut album. In the past 6 months or more, we’ve seen a re-generation of the rap genre, we’ve seen it flux and flow between embarrassing feuds and absolute genius art. People like Lotus, Isaac Lovelock, Chloe and Liyah have quickly risen to the top of the pile while those just slightly below them are doing a good job in attempting to de-throne whomever you believe is at the very top of the perch. Then there’s those that are further below, due to various reasons an act like ‘Miami’ isn’t in the game, not even on the radar of these kings and queens of the genre, partly due to inactivity perhaps but more so just down to a lack of cutting edge, while others have unleashed a wave of singles and guest spots, Miami has rarely been heard or seen of. It’s not to say that her music isn’t good, it’s just not close to the standard and the bar is constantly being raised … however, you get the feeling that it doesn’t particularly matter to her where she’s standing in the metaphorical power rankings of the genre. But that is part of the problem, she doesn’t appear to care to get involved.

She releases her latest single, the words come thick and fast amidst a strong piano backdrop, adding melody to an otherwise flat song with not particularly ground-breaking lyrics. A heavy dance beat during the final verse plays over the repeated phrase “We don’t need you, f*ckin Barbie” makes it a bizarre way to end what started off as quite a melodic song. The theme of the song comes into question too, on first listen you’d be forgiven in assuming it’s a ‘diss track’ aimed at a number of popstars currently in the music industry, but there’s no reason not to think that this is actually about Miami herself.’
