New Song: Melanie Amaro – “Long Distance”

While ‘Epic’ X Factor US alum Marcus Canty is winning fans over left and right with his debut offerings, the season 1 champion of the show Melanie Amaro (also signed to EPIC) unveils her long-awaited, official debut single ‘Long Distance’.

Set to kick off her debut LP ‘Truly’ (2013), find out below if the song has truly been worth the wait…

The song boasts a Kelly Clarkson-esque vibe without sounding completely unoriginal – a feat that is a challenge for many new artists to accomplish.  Despite the accompaniment lacking its on distinguishing identity from most of the electropop fluff aboard present day radio, it’s refreshing to hear those beats matched with powerhouse vocals.

How well Amaro can sell the track, however, will be determined tomorrow (Thursday) night as she is set to perform it live on ‘X Factor USA’.
