“Storm In My Life”
New Single OUT JULY 25
The Amanda Emblem Experiment are set to release a new single called “Storm in My Life” on July 25 from the upcoming 11 track album titled “The Wood”.
Recorded over 15 months with producer Andy Tainsh, Amanda’s 4th album elaborates on the refined acoustic folk sounds of previous releases, with a distinct “ocean feel” reflecting Amanda’s time spent on the Great Sandy Strait.
“Storm In My Life” is a light hearted tune about a stormy relationship, but will also be a song many Australians will relate to, having been affected in one way or another by the unprecedented wild storms that have been encountered recently. Underpinned by Amanda’s strong finger picking and acoustic blues stylings, the track features simplistic harmonica and slide guitar.
Available on all streaming platforms July 25th
Review by Thoughts Words Action
“Storm In My Life” is the latest release by The Amanda Emblem Experiment, a music outlet of Amanda Emblem, an Australian singer-songwriter based in Kandanga Creek. It’s her first piece of work this year, arriving as an adequate follow-up to “Farmtime,” a critically acclaimed extended play released last year that you should also check out as soon as possible. Still, her new song arrives with many innovations in songwriting, composing, arranging, and producing, showcasing a natural progression of an already incredible singer-songwriter. Lyrically, “Storm In My Life” is a love song that tackles various sentiments, moods, situations, and circumstances. Therefore, it’s a highly relatable piece of sonic artistry that will immediately resonate with the broader audience.

Hello from The Mary Valley, Queensland, Australia.
I am an original music artist, a singer-songwriter, recording artist and live performer. Music has been my lifelong passion since I was a young girl.

This shift in demand has allowed me to shine on a new level and while I still often perform live, (I love to rock out!!!) my true passion lies in creating meaningful songs which touch people on a greater level.

Review by Indie Dock Music Blog
Since 2017, Amanda Emblem has been performing under her name by adding the word ‘Experiment’ as the quintessence of her desire not to stand still but to develop as an artist. Before that, Amanda Emblem had a turbulent musical life in which she appeared as a singer and bassist of several popular Australian bands. Today, the artist is settled in rural South East Queensland, where she perfectly combines growing vegetables with writing and recording new original music.

In the serene landscape of South East Queensland, away from the chaos of urban life, Amanda Emblem leads a fascinating existence. Tending to her market garden by day and pouring her heart into soul-stirring music by night, she embodies the essence of simplicity and creativity.
