Alt-pop provocateur Amelia Moore turns missed texts, emotional chaos, and late-night lust into seven tracks of sparkling, scream-able heartbreak.
On her feverish new EP he’s still just not that into you!, the long-awaited part two to last year’s he’s just not that into you! mixtape, Amelia Moore doesn’t just bare her heart — she rips it out, stitches it with beeping synths, and hands it to you, still pulsing. The pop rule-breaking diva delivers seven tracks packed with flirtation, frustration, and a diaristic sense of emotional chaos that feels like scrolling through the cracked screen of someone’s iPhone Notes app.
The EP kicks off with the title track, a glitter-glitch reality check for anyone still thinking “maybe he’s just busy.” Spoiler: he’s not. But Moore isn’t crying about it. She’s spiraling with intention, and it’s gorgeous.
Then comes “spelling bee” featuring the genre-bending Teezo Touchdown, which is less about letters and more about what’s happening between the lines. “How do I say what’s on my brain?” Moore breathes, then spells it out, literally. It’s sex-positive, synth-heavy, and refreshingly unserious in all the right ways. Teezo enters like a pop disruptor Cupid, tossing off his lines with enough flair to make you blush.
“fuck, marry, kill,” her label debut and the first single off the project, was an instant fan favorite, and for good reason. It’s giving chaotic meltdown in the best way ever. Moore distills emotional whiplash into a sing-along moment that’s tailor-made for scream-crying in the crowd. You can already hear the girlies (a nickname Amelia often uses when referring to her fans) yelling the lyrics back at her when she hits the stage at The Echo or Baby’s All Right later this month for her EP release shows.
On “that’s all they really want,” Moore weaponizes nostalgia, flipping Cyndi Lauper’s iconic girlhood anthem into something lonelier, a bit more raw. Think of it as the song you would be staring out the window to after a perfect night out with a boy who just won’t commit to you. Her whispery vocals float over a bare piano line, dripping with a kind of fragile, post-Tumblr sorrow. It’s giving mascara-streaked selfies in the back seat of an Uber, clutching your phone like it might buzz with a miracle.
“underwater” acts as the quiet storm of the EP: a woozy, emotional drift that lets Moore play with space and silence in her sound. But don’t let the softness fool you. This is Amelia at her most unhinged — she has an angelic way of playfully fantasizing about holding a man’s head underwater as if it’s just another love language. It’s one of several moments on the project where she explores creative ways to get rid of men, emotionally, lyrically, or otherwise.
Then comes “see through it,” a refreshing left turn. She dips into a deeper R&B pocket here; slower, sultrier, and with a groove that feels like uncharted territory in her discography. It’s playful and unexpected, a sonic curveball that proves she’s not afraid to evolve and spice things up.
By the time we get to “emily,” Moore is no longer screaming into the void; she’s curled up inside it. The song plays like an audio scrapbook: tape warble, cassette hiss, glitchy guitars, while she delivers one final, devastating line: “We really don’t call each other anymore, and it’s crazy ‘cause you used to call me yours.” It lands like a text you never meant to send, but definitely did.
Amelia Moore doesn’t just know what you’re feeling, she’s already written a hook about it. he’s still just not that into you! is a timestamp of what it means to want too much, feel too hard, and look really good doing it. She’s not waiting for his reply — she’s got a show in L.A., a set at Outside Lands, and a fanbase ready to scream every lyric back to her.
And honestly? He missed out.
