Amanda Cy continues to dazzle with her latest single, "Ride," a sunlit departure from the gritty depths explored earlier in her upcoming EP, 'LOVEGRUNGE.' Known for her masterful balance between vulnerability and confidence, Amanda introduces a lighter, more introspective track that shimmers with breezy melodies and underlying emotional urgency.
"Ride" effortlessly channels influences from artists like SZA, Steve Lacy, and Chiild, blending dreamy textures with candid lyrical depth. Amanda’s silky vocals glide over relaxed instrumentation, disguising subtle anxieties within seemingly laid-back verses. Beneath the gentle facade, lyrics resonate with a relatable apprehension—the desperate hope for clarity before fully surrendering to affection. It's this duality, the serene exterior masking internal turmoil, that makes "Ride" particularly compelling and authentic.
The accompanying visualiser, expertly crafted by frequent collaborator Tom Cotton (noted for his work with Stormzy and Mahalia), enhances the song's narrative with stylish visuals inspired by iconic automotive badges. Each track from 'LOVEGRUNGE' carries a unique heart emblem, thoughtfully designed to encapsulate its essence, and "Ride" is no exception.
Amanda Cy, who splits her creative time between Stockholm and London, has rapidly established herself as an international artist to watch.
Following successes like the critically acclaimed EP "Eugh!" and prominent singles praised by Vogue Scandinavia, her momentum is undeniable. "Ride" solidifies Amanda’s reputation as a sophisticated storyteller and pop innovator, highlighting her ability to craft nuanced, emotionally resonant music that invites listeners into her beautifully complex inner world.
