This edition of Singer Songwriter Bops drifts into hushed emotion, gentle tension and the quiet power that comes from a single voice with a difficult truth. Today’s pick is intimate, poetic and beautifully spare.
Amy Vee – Blood in the Water
Amy Vee delivers a haunting and delicate moment shaped by finger style guitar, soft intensity and a lyric that sits right at the edge of revelation.
Australian artist Amy Vee returns with Blood in the Water, her first new single since Live at Lizottes. The track leans into a stripped back blend of indie folk and dream pop, allowing space for silence, texture and emotional detail. It is a song about secrecy, perception and the instant everything can change, written with a steady sense of restraint that makes every word feel purposeful.
Recorded after two years of national touring, the track captures the quiet electricity of Vee’s live performances. Close mic’d vocals and delicate guitar work build a slow burn mood, shaped in collaboration with producer Gareth Hudson. The result balances vulnerability with meticulous production, letting the song’s emotional weight grow gradually rather than dramatically.
Vee describes the heart of the song as a moment of clarity that unravels everything we thought we knew. That sense of fragile revelation threads through every line, giving Blood in the Water a poetic pull that stays long after the track ends.
A multi instrumentalist and award winning composer and performer, Vee continues to shape music that comforts and unsettles in equal measure. Blood in the Water stands out as a quietly powerful singer songwriter release and an exciting step into her next chapter.
