Amelia is Laurie Anderson’s deeply meditative and immersive album, inspired by the final flight of aviator Amelia Earhart. Blending orchestral arrangements with electronic elements, field recordings, and spoken word, Anderson captures Earhart’s emotional journey through the skies. Collaborating with the Filharmonie Brno and featuring Anohni's ethereal vocals, the album moves between serene and haunting moments, invoking both the triumph and tragedy of Earhart’s story. It’s a reflective, cinematic piece that feels like a continuous narrative rather than individual tracks, making it one of Anderson’s most compelling works to date​ ( UNCUT ) ​ ( PopMatters ) ​ ( The Quietus ) .
