In the bustling pop scene, it takes a special blend of talent, passion, and creativity to stand out from the crowd. Cumbria-born Amanda has been cooking up this trifecta since her early days, drawing from her life experiences and artistic encounters to craft music that resonates. From her childhood passion to her breakthrough on the kids’ version of “Stars in Their Eyes,” Amanda’s career has been a relentless pursuit of the magic that music can deliver.
From performing alongside music stalwarts like Elton John and Boyzone to writing award-winning tracks for globally renowned artists, Amanda’s journey has been as diverse as it’s been enchanting. Her latest track, “Rush,” produced by Antonio Dixon—known for his collaborations with Ariana Grande and Beyonce—is a testament to this musical odyssey.

“Rush” is a playful cocktail of disco and modern lo-fi pop, combining vibrant string arrangements with Amanda’s silken vocals. The end result is an intoxicating mood piece, seamlessly blending an upbeat rhythm with a laid-back ambience. The track successfully harks back to the disco era while also embracing the sonic aesthetics of contemporary pop.
The lyrics of “Rush” are nothing short of poetic. Amanda weaves a narrative that invites listeners into an ethereal world where time and space are left behind. The verses ‘Breathe you in like midnight air, and I come unraveled as I float into your sky’ and ‘We can leave this space and time behind, If we levitate our way to paradise’ are profoundly atmospheric, casting an enchanting spell that syncs perfectly with the song’s soothing, yet exhilarating, tonality.
‘Looking for a new vibration, this feels right,’ Amanda sings, hinting at the adrenaline-infused moment where hesitation disappears, and one succumbs to the rush of the experience, a sentiment resonating strongly with listeners looking for an escapist high in the middle of the mundane.
As Amanda herself put it, “I just want people to feel! Whether it be to feel empowered, feel good, feel heard or just feel like kicking back and doing nothing. I really wanted to make Rush a record that fit every mood.” And she has indeed crafted an anthem that takes you on a ride from laid-back introspection to the exhilarating release of surrender.
