London-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist Fiona Amaka announces the release of her new single, “Love That Fills My World” (Acoustic Version) — a lush, orchestral folk reimagining of one of the most beloved songs in her live repertoire. Recorded in London with producer and session guitarist Andy Zanini, and accompanied by a music video filmed at the London Wetlands and Wildlife Trust, the track marks one of the most bold and unexpected creative steps of Fiona’s career to date — and the response has already been extraordinary.
In its original form, “Love That Fills My World” is a full-throttle rock song — a live favourite for the Fiona Amaka Band, complete with extended guitar solos and the kind of stage energy that keeps audiences locked in from the first note to the last. The acoustic version takes that same song and rebuilds it from the ground up: violin, cello, Andy Zanini’s classically trained guitar work, and Fiona’s voice at the centre of an arrangement that is part classical, part blues, and part rock. The result is something that resists easy categorisation — and is all the more compelling for it.
“It’s an orchestral folk version of a rock song,” Fiona says. “A completely different take. Part classical, part blues, and part rock. Andy’s classical training definitely played a big part in shaping the sound.”
The risk paid off. Since sharing video clips of the song on social media, Fiona has been struck by the response — new followers, genuine engagement, and an audience that has connected with this version of the song on its own terms, not simply as a quieter take on a louder track.
“I’ve been simply amazed at the response on my socials in terms of new followers and engagement since sharing video clips of the song,” she says. “It feels great to take a risk and try new things musically, so I’m pretty grateful to my audiences — old and new.”
The official music video for “Love That Fills My World” (Acoustic Version) was filmed at the London Wetlands and Wildlife Trust, a setting that mirrors the quiet, natural intimacy of the arrangement perfectly. It has been warmly received — a visual complement to music that asks the listener to slow down and pay attention.

“Love That Fills My World” (Acoustic Version) arrives on the back of one of Fiona Amaka’s most prolific and diverse creative stretches. Her 2025 singles “No Daylight” and “Cowards and Shadows” showcased her signature soulful indie-rock sound — raw, unflinching, and shaped by real experience of betrayal and disconnection. “Honesty (Psalm 139)” introduced a spiritual dimension while nodding to her folk-rock roots. And “Desert Flower” — a chirpy indie-pop departure released at the end of 2025 — earned significant radio play and confirmed what her audience already knew: Fiona Amaka is an artist who cannot and will not be confined to a single sound.
With influences ranging from Stevie Nicks to Smashing Pumpkins, her music has always blended bluesy vocals with driving rock guitar or chill folk atmosphere. “Love That Fills My World” (Acoustic Version) is the latest and perhaps most striking expression of that range — proof that the same song can live entirely differently depending on the space you give it to breathe.
