Amber Farnan – Sounds of Oz

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you know I’m a sucker for a great duet. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that I’m really digging “Bolt From the Blue,” Amber Farnan’s new song featuring Nick Keogh. Nick also cowrote the song with Amber over multiple Zoom sessions. How good is technology?

Amber calls the song “an ode to the wonderful fever dream that is the early stages of a romance.” It’s certainly got that sense of magic about it. I also love the way Amber’s pure vocal tones complement Nick’s huskier sound.

“Bolt From the Blue” comes from Amber’s EP The Motions, which drops on September 1.

Cairns indie-pop songstress Amber Farnan has won me over with her sweet new single “Muse.” It’s a dreamy romantic track, the sort of song Amber could never have imagined writing when she began creating music.

“Twelve-year-old Amber promised herself that she would never write a love song. Nineteen-year-old Amber finally caved,” she admitted.”’Muse’ was written around the notion of being inspired by someone, with them ultimately being your source of inspiration towards creativity as an artist. Whether its poetry, art, theatre or dance, both modern and historic art forms utilise muses as their inspiration.

“I would like for listeners to be able to relate to the song in some way, whether that be through shared experience or through hopes and dreams. I think that ‘Muse’ has a universal feeling of relatability and no matter who you are, I am damn sure you have dreamed about someone falling in love with you before.”

Amber will launch the single and its music video at The Tanks in Cairns on March 4. Click here for tickets.
