Toronto singer-songwriter and Civil Selects alum Amaal Nuux is a rising young artist like no other.

Embodying female empowerment through her music and her activism work around the world, the Somali-born artist has been making her footprint known.

Amaal has continued down a new path of self-exploration into her sound and the versatility that comes with being a woman; full of love, lust, and mystique.

AMAAL is ready for her first track of 2019, ‘Not What I Thought’. The bass thumping ballad is gorgeous and is accompanied by a stunning music video shot in an other-worldly location and directed by Sean Brown (Daniel Caesar, K. Roosevelt) along with Amaal’s creative direction. The video follows Amaal in various breathtaking landscapes courtesy of Sister Nature. 

Amaal reportedly has a new EP in the works, surely a project that will have us all in our feels. Check out the new track below and the video above.
