Thoughts? I quite like it and definitely think its the right sort of material she should be releasing instead of her previous stuff. I'm surprised that she has been signed to such a big label too.
Amelia Lily has premiered her new single online after signing a new record deal.
The former X Factor star will release 'California' on August 25 as the latest cut to be lifted from her upcoming debut album.
The singer has departed Sony Music and joined Warner Music's East West Records for the release of her first studio collection, which is expected to arrive later this year.
"Life has never been so exciting - I've been busy in the studio writing and recording songs for my upcoming debut album, and 'California' is where we start," Lily said.
"I'm so proud to be releasing this music; I have put my heart and soul into writing them. Expect a few surprises along the way though - it's going to be fun!"
'California' was co-written by Lily with Tim Woodcock (John Newman, The Vamps, The Wanted).
Amelia Lily reached number two in the UK back in 2012 with her debut single 'You Bring Me Joy'. It was followed by Top 40 hits 'Shut Up (and Give Me Whatever You Got)' and 'Party Over'.

I liked a couple of her singles but they weren't very....groundbreaking. Then she just disappeared and I never thought she would make a splash again.
Good for her though for inking a new deal and releasing a really catchy, cool tune
Hope it does well for her
seems more 'real', if you know what I mean, her natural voice coming through more than her old auto-tuned stuff.
Saying that though I really like Amelia, she was probably my favourite from her series, so I hope it does do well for her and she can continue to release music. She proved she can get a hit with YBMJ. Fair play to her for getting a new record deal too.
check out some of her acoustic stuff on youtube , amazing !!
The chorus is super catchy. I listed to it on Monday night and thats the only part I can still remember!
Not a bad thing, i loved that show and the music that came from it.
Paul Willett on Imagine FM is amused how Amelia tries to let these rhyme!
Yes I like the song too. I think I even prefer it to You Bring Me Joy. :cool:
I still think she could have been very successful, had she not been on a year with very little buzz about it. I think the sweeping changes on the panel that year lost a lot of peoples interest, and the contestants suffered as a result. I know people slagged off that years talent at the time, but I actually think in hindsight they were a pretty good group apart from the mediocre boys.
I finally listened to this song because I'd keep reading about the pronunciation and as a native Californian I have to say that "Cali-four-nigh-ay" is a legit but old fashioned way of saying it. Its associated with the Mark Twain days of the Old West.
As for the song I think it sounds spritely and tuneful so I hope it does well for her.
Yes sadly so:(
