Fiona Amaka is back — and this time, she’s taking us on a spiritual detour with her brand-new single “Honesty (Psalm 139).” Known for her bluesy vocals, rock energy, and that unmistakable “rock’n’soul” edge, Fiona steps into new territory with her first-ever Christian song — and she does it with the same authenticity that’s made her one to watch on the London indie scene.
Recorded in London with producer and session guitarist Andy Zanini (whose signature slide guitar shines beautifully here), and polished with vocal production from Eric Sanicola in Los Angeles, “Honesty (Psalm 139)” feels both intimate and radiant. It’s a catchy folk/alt-country reflection inspired by the psalm’s reminder of God’s deeply personal connection with us. Fiona first wrote the song years ago with a bluesy tone, but when the melody resurfaced in her mind earlier this year — brighter and lighter — she knew it was meant for more than her church congregation. The result? A song that feels like sunlight breaking through clouds.
There’s something so effortlessly uplifting about the track. It has that “windows down on a Sunday drive” kind of energy — grounded in faith, but wide open to anyone who’s ever pondered life, purpose, or connection. And judging by the early response on social media and Spotify, “Honesty (Psalm 139)” is resonating with both Christian and non-Christian listeners alike.
After a busy summer gigging across London — including a stop at the Camden Weekender Festival — and with an upcoming solo performance in Italy’s Primo Passo per Sognare festival, Fiona Amaka is clearly in her creative stride.
Honesty (Psalm 139)’ glows with warmth and sincerity — a folk-rooted gem that bridges faith, soul, and that unmistakable Fiona flair.”
