Wings, the debut EP by Germany’s Amilli, introduced us to a talent of great potential. The 20-year-old Bochum-based artist’s second offering Pulling Punches — released on October 2 — will surely solidify her place among the new singer-songwriters to watch out for.

Five tracks long, the new EP takes a more organic and band-oriented sonic direction, combining live drums with soft melodies and captivating basslines. Amilli’s nostalgic voice and maturely crafted lyrics help turn each song into a full emotional experience. “Kinky Look”, which sits as the last track on the project, is one of my favourites.

“After a fast and unexpected start in the music world, I did a lot of music-related things. I didn’t really have time to figure out who I wanted to be and what I wanted to sound like. Although it’s still a long way to go, I can say that I have taken a big step forward with this EP…”
