Amerie is officially back, thrilling fans with a teaser of her new single, “Undeniable,” marking her first major music release in years. Known for early 2000s hits like “1 Thing” and “Why Don’t We Fall in Love,” Amerie had largely stepped away from the spotlight to focus on family, writing, and her book club. Her last full projects, 4AM Mulholland and After 4AM, dropped in 2018, with a few singles following in 2019. Now, after a long hiatus, the singer-songwriter is reemerging, ready to take the music scene by storm.
