Label: Section 1
New Zealand artist and producer Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) explores the complexities of womanhood on her transformational sophomore album, Soft Power. Out worldwide on section1 and Buttrfly Records on November 15, 2024.
Across 11 self-dubbed “bedroom stadium” tracks, Amelia melds dreamy synths and electronic beats with rock elements, creating a sound that balances gritty authenticity and refined pop brilliance. Soft Power was produced and recorded by Amelia herself (with additional engineering from Emily Wheatcroft-Snape), and explores themes of devotion, fierce self-compassion, and matured self-awareness.
Soft Power follows Fazerdaze's 2017 cult classic debut Morningside and 2022 Break! EP, which were praised by outlets including Pitchfork, MOJO, The Guardian, and more.
