If there’s one local artist who is guaranteed to release quality music every single time, it’s Amanda Black. The songstress is a wonder when it comes to storytelling and has found the sweet spot where her music is always soulful and impactful. So, unsurprisingly, her brand-new album ‘Mnyama’ is another great body of work.
On the new album, Amanda takes fans on a journey through heartbreak and learning how to forgive yourself. The album, which shows the many sides of Amanda at this point in her life, including collaborations with the likes of Berita, J’Something, Christer and Kwesta and hopes to inspire fans to never stop fighting because even bad days have to end.
“I have bared my soul for the listener to encourage them and let them know that they will be okay,” Amanda says of the new project. “When I wrote this album, it was the first time where it had nothing to do with proving that I can do it; it was about me and my mental process and ultimately my mental health because I allowed myself to be vulnerable and face the things that I normally would distract myself from. These are the conversations I’ve been having with myself.”
Amanda adds “This album is a real representation of how the emotional process goes. Self love is a journey and we always expect to get to the final destination quickly, but the final destination is you. You have to be okay with yourself. It’s the biggest part of the journey.”
