New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In honor of Earth Day, singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Amy Allen shares reflective new song "One" on Warner Records, which just premiered as the conclusion to her virtual Earth Day benefit event Amy Allen &
Friends Celebrate Earth Day.
About the song, Amy explains, "'One' is a song for anyone who feels helpless in this terrifyingly big and flawed world. I wrote this as a reminder to myself that even when I feel like a drop in the ocean, it's still important to try to make a change, no matter how small."
Amy headlined and hosted the hand-crafted virtual event earlier today, raising awareness for global environmental change agents such as the Surfrider Foundation, Ecosia, Greenpeace, and Parks Project. As an award-winning songwriter for some of the biggest names in music, Amy was uniquely able to curate the lineup by enlisting some of her most talented friends - Adam Melchor (with Emily Warren), Alexander23, Chelsea Cutler, Dan Wilson, Griff, Fletcher, Jensen McRae, Madeline The Person, and
Vance Joy - each of whom personally selected an environmental organization to support.
Having spent the prior few years co-writing some of pop's biggest hits (Harry Styles, Halsey,
Selena Gomez and more), "One" and other recent call-to-action tune "
What A Time To Be Alive" (feat. Pink Sweat$) are the latest in a string of debut solo releases that have introduced Amy Allen as a songwriter and artist for her generation, offering a birds-eye view of life as a young woman in 2021 America. Her incredibly personal and impactful songs "Queen of
Silver Linings," "Difficult," and "
Heaven" have earned critical acclaim from Flaunt, American Songwriter, WWD, Refinery29, People Magazine and more, while catching the attention of the likes of
Elton John and Sam Smith.
