AMANDA McCARTHY SHINES WITH NEW POP SINGLE “SUNSET”

By admin

Nashville, TN (June 24, 2022) – Nashville based singer/songwriter Amanda McCarthy recently released her new single “Sunset.” You can listen to the song HERE!

With whimsical lyrics like singing me to sleep with your melody so sweet, like a cherry on a sundae after a long day, Amanda’s retro-sounding new single will be a delicious addition to summer playlists.

“The origin of Sunset is partly literal and partly metaphorical,” Amanda explains. “The hook line came to me while watching the sunset in Los Angeles over the water. I knew instantly who the song was going to be about and started brainstorming. The weird part was this person texted me 5 minutes later – after we hadn’t spoken in months – so, that was my sign that I was on to something. My sound isn’t usually quite this pop/electronic, but I always let the song lead where it needs to go…and I really wanted to capture that moment in Los Angeles within the production of the song. My producer (Kristian Veech) helped me really lean into that LA-pop vibe with 80’s synth influences as well. This song will be part of my next studio album that I hope to have released by next spring.”

AMANDA McCARTHY RELEASES NEW SINGLE “DON’T STOP ME”

By admin

Nashville, TN (March 16, 2022) – Nashville based singer/songwriter Amanda McCarthy recently released her new single “Don’t Stop Me.” You can listen to the song HERE!

Known for her powerful vocals and lyricism, Amanda has a unique ability to connect emotionally with her fans. With empowering lyrics like packing up my bags and I’m leaving today, I don’t got time for that, and if you don’t like what I say, don’t stop me as I’m walking away, “Don’t Stop Me” is sure to be an energizing anthem to all who listen.

“I wrote Don’t Stop Me with my friend Ty Openshaw prior to moving to Nashville,” Amanda explains. “Funny enough, what we wrote the song about initially revolved around a situation in his life. But, when I moved to Nashville and I started playing this song at rounds, the song grew to mean a lot to me and my complicated relationship with my hometown that I had just left behind. I love my home state of New Hampshire, but growing up in the specific town I’m from, I carried a lot of mixed feelings due to trauma, lack of support in school, and always feeling like my music career was never taken seriously – even as I was seeing success in Boston and NYC. Moving to Nashville was a huge step in my healing and leaving those feelings behind, which is why this song is so special as my Nashville debut, the first song I’m releasing since moving here.”
