Stockholm-based singer-songwriter Amanda Cy never fails to wave through the tight confines of music, launching yet another captivating single, “Ride.” After the success of her last single, “Miss U,” this new track gives us an exciting taste of her upcoming EP, “LOVEGRUNGE.” If the project barrels forth with wonderfully brazen and unvarnished energy, then the song finds a moment of tenderness in the middle over a layered tapestry.
Right from the first note, Amanda pulls listeners into an emotional uncertainty zone, where love is both intoxicating and fragile. She doesn’t sing so much as confess, interrogate, and grapple for clarity. “Ride” requires truthfulness. She appears to ask questions, expressing the fear of getting attached to someone who may not be all in.
The song’s production feels light enough to bring you inside its melancholy. Amanda’s vocals flow effortlessly above the instrumentation, riding the weight of emotion without ever oozing off their delicacy. This delicate interplay makes “Ride” so captivating, intimate, and universal, too heavy and free.
The stage is set for an unapologetically felt project with “LOVEGRUNGE” on the horizon. Amanda Cy works in narrative, bringing to life raw, authentic, and beautifully uncertain songs.
