Setting the tone with epic Highland inspired Uilleann pipe sounds, AMBERLIND and Michael Rice open their collaborative single, Reasons, with a unique high-octane energy and the freedom inspiring lyrics, “Gotta go, gotta leave this town and make it on my own…”
The opus expands into a dimensional EDM vibe, as AMBERLIND, also known as artist and composer Staffan Amberlind takes us on a vivid and introspective trip with the help of Eurovision singer Michael Rice.
The drop in Reasons is super unique with an intricate Highland soundscape fused with bold EDM drums, and we are obsessed. AMBERLIND confesses that not falling into the same loop when creating is one of his pursuits, and we can confirm that Reasons is the perfect example of this!
We also appreciate the depth of the lyricism and poetic prowess demonstrated in the songwriting of Reasons – full of emotion, nuance and an understanding of the human condition.
Born in the south of Sweden, AMBERLIND now puts his full time into music. He is also a part owner of Woodhouse Production and is collaborating with artist, producers and songwriters from all over the world.
We love the authenticity that AMBERLIND and Michael Rice are sharing with Reasons, and have added the single to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we await further releases from AMBERLIND, and explore Michael Rice‘s discography in more depth!
