Australian singer-songwriter Ambraya is set to release her highly anticipated single “Nightfall City” on September 18, 2025. Described as a cinematic anthem that fuses theatrical pop, jazz, and soul, the track carries the drama of a James Bond theme and the smoky allure of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black. A fan favourite at her live shows, the song’s soaring chorus captures the thrill of chasing something just out of reach. Written when Ambraya was just fifteen, “Nightfall City” has matured alongside her, emerging as her most ambitious release to date.
Based in Melbourne, Ambraya has steadily built a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling new voices. Often compared to powerhouse singers such as Tori Kelly, Sara Bareilles, and Amy Winehouse, she has been captivating audiences since first stepping onto the city’s vibrant live scene in 2017. Her performances have graced some of Melbourne’s most iconic stages, including Howler, Chapel Off Chapel, Crown Palladium, and Paris Cat Jazz Club. Notably, she headlined the 2024 Homegrown Festival at the Corner Hotel, a celebration of independent artistry that affirmed her place as a standout rising star.
Ambraya’s versatility as an artist has also led to appearances on SBS Viceland’s Benny’s Coming Together Christmas special and the globally acclaimed Breaking Sound showcase. In June 2025, she collaborated with Mister Co and Halo Voices on the gospel-inspired track “Got My Love”, featured on the Homegrown EP. Her profile gained national recognition in 2023 on The Voice Australia (Season 13), where she earned a spot in the Top 24 on LeAnn Rimes’ team, showcasing her soulful power to a national audience.
Beyond music, Ambraya has expanded her creativity into writing, releasing her debut single “Happy Place” in 2023 alongside her children’s book Safe, Happy, and Healthy. Now, with “Nightfall City”, she steps boldly into a new chapter , one defined by cinematic storytelling, emotional resonance, and fearless artistry. With its swelling arrangements and addictive hooks, the single cements Ambraya’s status as one of Australia’s most exciting voices to watch.
