New York-based singer and songwriter Amy-Lin Slezak has been on a constant rise on the folk/country scene and after a fun piece on love and memory with “Known 3 Yrs. Seen 24 Hrs” she’s back with her next single. “You Don’t Believe Her”, however, is a sharp turn for the american artist and sees her dealing with the serious issue of abuse and how social media is quick to comment and judge on sexual assault survivors. It’s an emotional piece that highlights Amy-Lin’s vulnerable and universal songwriting, coloured by alternative country dynamics reminiscent of Hurray for the Riff Raff or Waxahatchee.

“You Don’t Believe Her” by Amy-Lin Slezak is a delicate track with a set of sharp teeth, providing comfort and empathy for the victims of assault while also biting hard on the ones who question whether or not the assault was real. Amy-Lin does a great job in placing herself on the right side of the conversation while also shifting the question towards the nonbelievers: “To everyone making these awful comments, know this: the women you bash from behind your keyboard probably won’t see your ignorant, hateful comments. They can’t hear you. But your daughters do. Your sisters, your nieces, granddaughters, friends… every woman in your orbit hears you loud and clear.”
By tackling the issue through this angle, Amy-Lin Slezak comments on how the cycle of violence is reset: people don’t believe it when strangers speak up, so their own loved ones feel repressed and like they also won’t be believed if it happens to them. This shift in perspective makes the message hit even harder as she pleas, ‘You don’t believe her, why would you believe me?‘ in the final line of the chorus. It’s powerful stuff that forces people to reexamine themselves and their posture with a very simple and straightforward line.
The production of “You Don’t Believe Her” also contributes to this by presenting itself as vibrant and energetic, yet vulnerable. Amy-Lin Slezak raises those topics over steady country instrumentation with beautiful melodies and her most impactful vocal performance yet. It’s a necessary song that gives voice, especially to young women and girls, turning their frustration into sadness and anger once they realize they won’t be believed in their own homes. Amy-Lin Slezak translates those feelings into something that feels greater than the topic at hand, providing insight into one of society’s most pressing issues – and does it with confidence while also pushing her music forward.
