Hello everyone, it’s your host Tehillah from DULAXI, and today I’m delighted to be joined by Amarah, the artist behind the atmospheric dark-pop and electronic project based in Venezia, Italy. Amarah is entering a new artistic chapter with “Invisible Light,” the project’s first international English-language release, arriving on July 15, 2026. Blending atmospheric pop, cinematic electronic pop, and alternative pop, the single explores hope, transformation, uncertainty, and the search for direction through intimate vocals, evocative songwriting, and immersive electronic textures.
Before we begin our conversation with Amarah, here’s what you need to know about today’s featured project.
About Amarah
Amarah is an emerging artistic project from Venezia, Italy, built around the space between light and shadow. The project brings together cinematic atmospheres, haunting melodies, intimate vocals, and electronic production to create music that places emotional storytelling at the centre of the listening experience.
“Invisible Light” marks an important turning point in that journey. Following previous releases in Italian, Amarah has chosen English as the language for this new chapter, opening the project toward an international audience while maintaining the emotional depth that has shaped its identity. The transition is not presented as a rejection of what came before, but as an evolution of the artistic world Amarah has been developing.
At the heart of “Invisible Light” is the idea of finding a sense of direction when certainty is difficult to find. The song approaches hope through a quieter and more reflective lens, using light as a symbol of resilience, self-discovery, transformation, and the inner strength that can encourage someone to continue even when the path ahead remains unclear. Rather than explaining these ideas directly, the song creates room for listeners to interpret them through its imagery, atmosphere, and emotional movement.
The production plays an important role in creating that world. Modern electronic textures are combined with a cinematic sensibility, while the vocal performance remains intimate and closely connected to the emotional centre of the song. The arrangement allows the music to develop gradually, creating a sense of expansion as the song progresses without losing its restrained character.
This approach reflects the wider artistic philosophy behind Amarah. The project is not built around following a particular musical trend, but around creating an identifiable atmosphere where voice, sound, space, and storytelling can work together. The decision to move into English-language songwriting also creates new possibilities for the project to communicate with listeners beyond its Italian origins.
For Amarah, this international direction is less about abandoning a previous identity and more about allowing that identity to travel further. “Invisible Light” therefore represents both a new release and the beginning of a broader artistic exploration, one that leaves room for the sound to evolve while keeping emotional connection and human expression at its centre.
Having this brief introduction to today’s featured project, I’m sure both new listeners and longtime fans are excited to hear directly from Amarah. So, without further ado, let’s begin today’s interview.
INTERVIEW SESSION
Tehillah:
You are entering a new artistic chapter with “Invisible Light,” particularly after previously releasing music in Italian. What has this transition meant to you personally, and what changed within you that made this feel like the right moment to begin expressing this part of your story in English?
Amarah:
The transition to English has been much more than simply a change of language. While working on the project, we realized that English allowed us to achieve a sound much closer to the world we had always imagined for Amarah. The rhythm of the words, the way they interact with the melody, and especially the possibility of working with a more intimate, almost whispered vocal approach opened up new possibilities for us.
Personally, I felt that this direction represented me in a very natural way. I don’t see it as a break from what I previously created in Italian. Those experiences are part of my journey and helped bring me to where I am now.
With “Invisible Light,” however, we felt for the first time that all the elements — voice, songwriting, production, and atmosphere — were beginning to speak the same language. Perhaps that was what made us realize that the right moment had arrived.
Tehillah:
Your music exists in the space between light and shadow, combining intimate vocals, haunting melodies, cinematic atmospheres, and electronic textures. When you think about that contrast as a reflection of your own artistic personality, what parts of yourself do you recognize most clearly in the darker and lighter sides of your music?
Amarah:
I think light and shadow are both part of the way I experience and express music. The darker side probably represents the more introspective part of me: doubts, vulnerabilities, and questions that don’t always have an answer. It is a space where I feel free not to explain everything.
For me, light doesn’t mean erasing that darker side. It is what can emerge from moving through it: searching for direction and finding a way to transform something fragile into something that helps us move forward.
We try to maintain that same balance in the production. We don’t want the music to tell listeners what they are supposed to feel. We prefer to create a sonic environment where everyone can recognize something of their own.
Tehillah:
Moving from Italian-language music toward an international English-language release also changes the relationship between your words and the people receiving them. How did writing in English affect the way you expressed vulnerability, emotion, or ideas that may have felt different when you were writing in Italian?
Amarah:
English mainly changed the relationship between words and sound. In Italian, I immediately feel the weight and meaning of every word. With English, we were able to focus even more on musicality — rhythm, consonants, breathing, and space.
That allowed me to approach the vocal performance differently, often in a more intimate way. The voice can almost become part of the production itself without losing the meaning of what it is expressing.
Paradoxically, using a language other than my native language also gave me a certain freedom. I can leave some emotions suspended without feeling the need to explain them completely.
Tehillah:
“Invisible Light” revolves around finding hope and direction during uncertain moments, with light becoming a symbol of resilience, self-discovery, and the courage to continue despite doubt. Was there a particular emotional experience or period of uncertainty that helped you understand what this idea of an invisible light meant to you?
Amarah:
I don’t think there was one single experience. For me, “Invisible Light” comes more from a feeling that returns at different moments in life: not knowing exactly where you are going, while still sensing that something is pushing you to keep moving.
There are moments when we don’t have answers and cannot yet see a solution clearly. And yet, somehow, we continue. To me, that is the invisible light.
That is what I wanted to express: not an easy or naive kind of hope, but something much quieter — a strength that we may not be able to see yet, but can somehow feel is there.
Tehillah:
The title “Invisible Light” carries an interesting contradiction because light is usually associated with something that can be seen, while your song focuses on something that may be felt before it can actually be recognized. What does that invisible light represent in your own life, and why was that image powerful enough to become the title of this new chapter?
Amarah:
It is exactly that contradiction that fascinates me. We usually think of light as something obvious and visible, while often the things that truly guide us are not visible at all.
My “invisible light” represents something you can feel before you are able to understand it. It can be an intuition, a person, a passion, a possibility, or simply that small part of ourselves that keeps telling us to move forward.
We chose this title because it perfectly captures the world we wanted to create: something that exists between darkness and light, fragility and strength, doubt and transformation.
Tehillah:
There is a strong sense of transformation within the song, moving from uncertainty toward a more emotionally powerful and hopeful conclusion. How did you approach telling that transformation through the structure of the song, and what did you want listeners to feel as they moved from the beginning into the chorus?
Amarah:
We wanted that transformation to happen gradually, without forcing it. At the beginning, everything feels more restrained and fragile, almost as if the song is afraid of taking up too much space.
Then, little by little, the sonic landscape begins to open. When the chorus arrives, we didn’t simply want it to become “bigger”; we wanted it to feel emotionally wider.
The idea was for the listener to experience a sense of opening. Not necessarily a final answer, but that moment when you begin to believe that a way forward might exist.
Tehillah:
Your songwriting uses evocative imagery rather than simply explaining its message directly, allowing listeners to enter the world of the song and find their own meaning within it. What draws you toward this more poetic approach to storytelling, and how do you decide which emotions should be spoken clearly and which should remain open to interpretation?
Amarah:
I like the idea that a song doesn’t necessarily have to explain everything. Sometimes an image, a phrase, or even a silence can communicate much more than a complete explanation.
I believe listeners need to have their own space inside the music. If you define everything, that world belongs only to the person who wrote it. If you leave some doors open, listeners can enter with their own experiences.
So I try to be clear about the emotion, but not necessarily about its interpretation. I want people to feel what I am expressing without forcing them to feel it for exactly the same reasons I do.
Tehillah:
The chorus is described as the emotional point where the song becomes especially powerful, while the surrounding production creates a dreamlike and immersive atmosphere. What was the emotional idea you wanted the chorus to carry, and how did you make sure the vocal performance communicated something deeper than the words themselves?
Amarah:
For me, the voice should never simply sing the words correctly. It should also communicate what the words themselves cannot say.
In the chorus, we wanted to preserve the intimacy of the vocal instead of turning emotional intensity into greater volume or vocal power. The strength had to come from somewhere else: the breathing, the intention, the small vulnerabilities in the performance, and the space created around the voice.
That approach feels very close to the way I want to sing. Sometimes an almost whispered phrase can be much more powerful than something shouted.
Tehillah:
“Invisible Light” brings together atmospheric pop, modern electronic production, and a cinematic sensibility rather than relying on a straightforward pop arrangement. What role did the production play in shaping the emotional world of the song, and how did you use electronic textures to support the story rather than simply decorate it?
Amarah:
For us, production isn’t something that gets added to a song at the end. It is part of the storytelling from the very beginning.
Every element needs to have an emotional purpose. An electronic sound, an atmosphere, a bass line, or even an empty space should contribute to what is happening within the story. If something sounds interesting but adds nothing to the emotion of the song, then it probably doesn’t need to be there.
With “Invisible Light,” we worked a lot with space and dynamics. Electronic elements allow us to create environments that would be difficult to achieve with traditional instruments alone and to build an almost physical landscape around the voice. I think that is also where much of the song’s cinematic quality comes from.
Tehillah:
You have described this release as something that should not simply follow current trends, with its identity instead built around mood, emotion, and storytelling. In an industry where artists can easily feel pressure to fit into whatever sound is currently popular, how important is it for you to protect your own creative identity even when that means taking a less predictable musical direction?
Amarah:
It is fundamental to me. Of course, we listen to what is happening in contemporary music, and we are curious about new technologies and new approaches to production. It would make no sense to ignore them.
But there is a difference between understanding what is happening and chasing it. If you build your identity entirely around what happens to be working at a particular moment, you risk losing that identity very quickly.
We prefer to use contemporary tools and languages to build something that can still be recognized as our own. I don’t know if that is the easiest path, but I believe it is the most coherent one for this project.
Tehillah:
This single represents more than another release in your catalogue because it is also the first step toward building an international audience. How has the decision to pursue listeners beyond the Italian-speaking audience changed the way you think about your identity as an artist and the kind of career you want to build?
Amarah:
It has broadened our perspective enormously. When you release music with an international audience in mind, you begin to realize that a song can reach places and people you could never have imagined while creating it.
What I find interesting is that I don’t feel I need to become “less Italian” in order to be international. On the contrary, I think today you can start from your own identity and use music to cross boundaries that were much more difficult to cross in the past.
What we want to build is not defined so much by geography as by artistic identity. If someone on the other side of the world can recognize themselves in that identity, then the music has already created a connection.
Tehillah:
One of the strengths of atmospheric music is its ability to communicate feelings even when listeners do not share the same language, background, or experiences. What kind of emotional connection do you hope someone in a completely different part of the world can find in “Invisible Light,” even if their personal story has nothing in common with yours?
Amarah:
I would like them to recognize an emotion before they recognize a story.
Our lives can be completely different, but there are feelings that belong to all of us in some way: feeling lost, being afraid of a choice, searching for direction, hoping that something can change.
If someone I don’t know, somewhere far away from me, listens to “Invisible Light” and for a few minutes feels that the song is also speaking about something in their own life, then for me the music has done exactly what it is supposed to do.
Tehillah:
Beginning an international chapter can bring excitement, but it can also introduce uncertainty because you are essentially asking a new audience to discover your voice for the first time. What have you learned about yourself while stepping into that unfamiliar space, and what has been the most challenging part of allowing this new version of Amarah to emerge?
Amarah:
I have learned above all to accept uncertainty. When you begin something new, you cannot know how people will respond, especially when you are reaching listeners who don’t know you and have no reason to give you their attention.
Probably the most challenging part has been accepting that, in a sense, we are starting again from zero.
But there is also something very exciting about that. Every new listener meets Amarah without knowing what came before and responds simply to what they hear. That pushes us to be very focused on the identity we want to build from this point forward.
Tehillah:
Looking at the journey that brought you from Italian-language releases to an English-language song built around themes of hope, transformation, and self-discovery, how do you feel your understanding of yourself as a songwriter has changed, and what aspects of your earlier work have remained essential to who you are now?
Amarah:
I think I have learned that changing doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning who you were before.
The language has changed, some production choices have changed, and the way I use my voice has evolved, but the need to create a strong relationship between music, words, and interpretation has remained. That is still essential to me.
Perhaps today I am simply more aware of what I want to remove. I don’t always feel the need to add something to make a song more intense. Sometimes it is exactly the opposite: taking things away, leaving space, allowing the voice or a single phrase to remain almost alone.
Tehillah:
“Invisible Light” is presented as the beginning of an evolving project rather than a final statement of who Amarah is. As you imagine the music that comes after this release, what new sides of your artistic identity are you most interested in exploring, and how do you want your sound to grow while preserving the emotional atmosphere that defines this chapter?
Amarah:
What interests me most is not knowing exactly where we will end up.
With “Invisible Light,” we found certain elements that feel very much like us: the intimacy of the voice, the use of space, electronic textures, a certain cinematic dimension, and above all the importance of atmosphere. Those elements will probably continue to be part of the project.
But we don’t want to turn them into a formula. Every new song should be able to add something and even surprise us. I would like to explore the relationship between voice, sound, and technology even further, while always keeping emotion and the human identity of the performance at the center.
Tehillah:
If you look far beyond this single and imagine the artistic journey you are beginning now reaching its fullest expression, what would you ultimately want Amarah to represent to the people who discover the music, and what kind of lasting emotional world would you hope to create for them?
Amarah:
I would like Amarah to become a recognizable world even before being identified with a particular musical genre.
I would love for someone to hear a song and recognize an atmosphere, a way of using the voice, silence, words, and sound, and think, “This is Amarah.”
Above all, I would like it to be a space where people can bring something of themselves. I’m not interested in giving answers or telling people what they should feel. I’m interested in creating music they can enter, stay inside for a few minutes, and perhaps find a part of themselves there.
If one day Amarah could represent that — a place where fragility, darkness, searching, and light can exist together — I think that would be the most meaningful result of this entire journey.
“Invisible Light” feels like the first doorway into an artistic world where uncertainty is not treated as something to escape, but as the space from which transformation can begin.

EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE
What stands out most about “Invisible Light” is the care with which Amarah allows voice, space, electronic texture, and songwriting to share the emotional workload. The song does not depend on excess to communicate its ideas. Instead, its gradual movement and intimate vocal character create room for the listener to participate in the experience. That approach also makes the project’s move into English feel less like a reinvention and more like a natural expansion of an already developing artistic identity.

CLOSING
It has been a pleasure speaking with Amarah and exploring the ideas, creative decisions, and personal perspective behind “Invisible Light.” This conversation offers a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the atmospheric production and intimate vocal approach, while also revealing an artist who is intentionally leaving room for the project to evolve.
“Invisible Light” represents the beginning of an international chapter for Amarah, but perhaps just as importantly, it establishes an artistic space where vulnerability, uncertainty, darkness, and hope can exist alongside one another. We encourage readers to experience the release for themselves and discover the emotional world Amarah has created around it.
Thank you, Amarah, for taking the time to share your story and creative process with DULAXI. And to everyone reading, thank you for spending time with us and with today’s conversation. We hope you will continue following Amarah as this new chapter develops and discovering the many directions the project may take from here.
This has been Tehillah from the DULAXI Team. Until our next interview, keep listening, keep discovering, and keep making space for new voices in music.
