Amy Allen's reputation as a go-to hitmaker preceded her own rise as a singer/songwriter. By the time she released her debut album in 2021, the Maine native had amassed an impressive clutch of hits for A-list pop stars like Harry Styles, Halsey, and Selena Gomez. Allen's own music, on singles like "Queen of Silver Linings" and "What a Time to Be Alive," trends more toward organic, guitar-driven indie folk-pop with a strong emotional pull.
