Amanda D., "I'm on Fire"

https://www.musicnewjersey.com Email: ecmusicnj@gmail.com Call: (908)464-0038, (908)451-1955 Subscribe to this Channel! Amanda D., sings "I'm on Fire" Amanda is that most rare talent. A performer who can electrify a room with her signature vocals, and a prolific songwriter who demonstrates mastery of various popular music genres. Amanda weaves a hook filled alchemy of pop, rock and R&B that flows seamlessly through her compositions. She is as true a musical triple threat as one could imagine. A New York transplant from her native Northern California, Amanda’s been performing since childhood, honing her talent. Moving from the Bay Area to Brooklyn in 2015, Amanda an her formernband, Dreams of June, were quickly embraced by the big city. Rooms such as Rockwood booked the band. They co-headlined the Brooklyn Music Festival and appeared on the legendary Larry Flick’s Sirius/XM show. All of which occurred within six months of their arrival as complete unknowns. In 2016, Amanda dismantled Dreams of June to carve out her own vision. The results are stunning and attracted an array of well-established talent to help record the new material.

Amanda D., cover of "Feel it Still"

We like to show the range of our musicians.  This is our second release of a video with Amanda performing.  The first video that we released was of "Landslide" a classic rock tune.  For her second release at Entertainment Consultants we chose a more current hit.  This time we went with the Pop tune "Feel it Still."  The song was made popular by American band "Portugal.  The Man."  We wanted the clubs hiring Amanda for their events to get a quick sense of her talent and versatility.

Each time that we have introduced her at a new club, members and management alike have wanted her either bar-side or poolside on a regular basis.  The earlier that you book her the better.  This way you will not be disappointed later on in the season.

The song won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards on January 28, 2018.

The song has a very long list of composers which includes members of the band and two producers.

Here is the list of the composers:

Robert Bateman, Zachary Scott Carothers, Freddie Gorman, John Baldwin Gourley, John Hill, Brian Holland, Eric Andrew Howk, Kyle O'Quin, Jason Wade Sechrist, and Asa Taccone

Amanda is one of those performers that we wish we could clone.  Whenever we book her at a club, the members and staff can't say enough good things about her.  We believe so strongly in Amanda that we think one day her name will be a household name.  We don't say that lightly  and we rarely say that about musicians.  Simply put:  We have that much confidence in her, her work ethic and her talent.  Some clubs have booked her poolside, others have chosen to book her year round in the bar area.

One of the things we love most about Amanda is that she makes each song her own.  What we mean by that is that she takes songs that we have heard hundreds of times before and gives them a spin all her own.  Her songs are covers and she does the arrangements herself.  She, also, composes some of her own material.

In this video we see and hear her singing "Landslide," a song written  by Stevie Nicks .  The song was first featured in the 1975 album simply titled "Fleetwood Mac."  Twenty three years later the song resurfaced in a live reunion album titled "The Dance."

Nicks says she wrote this song while considering going back to school or staying on professionally with Lindsey Buckingham, guitarist for Fleetwood Mac.  Nicks and Buckingham were not getting along at the time and making matters worse, Polydor records had just dropped them. She wrote the song in Aspen, Colorado, while sitting in a friend's living room "looking out at the Rock.y Mountains pondering the avalanche of everything that had come crashing down on us ... at that moment, my life truly felt like a landslide in many ways".

This is the song that is most frequently performed by Fleetwood Mac while on tour.  Except for the Shake the Cage Tour, Stevie Nicks has performed this song on every tour with the band and on her own as a solo artist.
