Amelia (Mimi Webb album)
2023 studio album by Mimi Webb
Amelia is the debut studio album by British singer Mimi Webb, released on 3 March 2023 through Epic Records. It was preceded by the singles "House on Fire", "Ghost of You", "Red Flags" and "Roles Reversed", while "Freezing" was released on the same date as the album. A week after the album's release, Webb began the Amelia Tour, visiting the UK and Europe.
Background
Webb worked on the album for three years and called it "the best version of me" and asked listeners "to accept vulnerability without judgement while you listen to this record". Amelia is named for Webb's full first name, with Webb stating that there are "two sides" of her that she wants "people to get to know [...] Amelia, the girl from the UK countryside who loves to be at home with her family, friends, and dogs; and Mimi, the pop artist who loves to be up on stage traveling the world". Webb announced the album on 12 October 2022, following the release of the second single "Ghost of You".
Critical reception
Amelia received a score of 70 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. Otis Robinson of DIY called Amelia a "dependable, invigorating debut (chock full of unforgettable earworms) and its strengths lie in its biggest moments: particularly, those with clear Scandipop influences, like the Dagny-esque 'Freezing' and Sigrid-like, bubble-gummy 'Ghost of You'". Bethan Eyre of The Line of Best Fit described the album as "jam packed with tracks soon to be on everyone's pre-drinks playlist come the weekend", finding that "although it may be straightforward, quintessential pop music, it is catchy quintessential pop music done well". Ben Devlin, reviewing the album for musicOMH, felt that Amelia "isn't a concept record in the slightest, instead it's 12 pristinely-written tunes, eight of which are about break-ups (another two about rocky relationships) and despite the personal implications of the album's title these lyrics are defiantly general", also calling Webb "certainly a pleasant singer, her voice sounding like a less babyish Tate McRae".
