Amelina: A New Year's Wish
A New Year’s Wish — Amelina Lights Up the Season with Spark and Pop-Rock Fire
by Jack Rush
If you’re expecting sleigh bells, gentle choirs, and a cookie-cutter Christmas chorus… think again. Amelina’s new single “A New Year’s Wish” trades the usual holiday softness for electric guitars, pop-rock punch, and enough youthful fire to kick off the year with style and sparkle.
From the very first chords, it’s clear this isn’t your typical seasonal single. Crisp, upbeat guitars and a driving rhythm section set the tone, channeling early-2000s pop-punk spirit with a modern, polished edge. Amelina’s vocals rise right through the mix — bright, emotional, and colored with the unique charm of her accent — giving the track a refreshing personality and a bold sense of character. When the chorus lands, it doesn’t just shine… it erupts, offering a hook that’s instantly memorable and tailor-made for anyone hoping to step into a better year.
There’s depth beneath the sparkle, too. After moving from Russia to Spain in 2023, Amelina found herself starting over creatively — new language, new culture, no ready-made artistic circle. Instead of slowing down, she wrote her way through the upheaval, turning real emotions into lyrics and lived moments into melody. “A New Year’s Wish” is one of those pages-turned-songs, glowing with hope, nostalgia, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life from scratch. You can feel the mix of vulnerability and determination in every line, every lift of her voice.
Musically, the production is sleek and confident. The guitars carry the emotional weight, the rhythm keeps everything driving forward, and Amelina’s voice has plenty of space to soar. Just when you think the song has reached full bloom, she hits you with a guitar solo that feels like pure payoff — energetic, cinematic, and bursting with celebratory color.
While most holiday tracks lean into cozy nostalgia, “A New Year’s Wish” dares to do something different. It’s not about twinkle lights or warm fireplaces — it’s about momentum. About believing in yourself. About running, full-speed, into the person you want to become. With its blend of pop-rock, indie pop shimmer, and youthful emotional clarity, the song feels less like a holiday jingle and more like the opening scene of a coming-of-age film where the protagonist decides this is the year everything changes.
Amelina is steadily building a catalogue full of color, movement, and big-hearted emotion — from the empowering “Step by Step” to the imaginative “Roblox Realms.” With “A New Year’s Wish,” she delivers a festive anthem that stands proudly outside the usual holiday mold: enthusiastic, empowering, and brimming with heart.
If you love artists like Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Olivia Rodrigo, or Sabrina Carpenter, this track will land beautifully in your playlist. It’s hooky, it’s uplifting, and it sparkles with the kind of optimism that feels like fireworks — quiet at first, then bursting into color and reminding you how alive you are.
