Amber T – Broken Dreams (2022)
Amber T joined forces with Galaxy Thief to bring us the brilliantly packed track ‘Shaken’ that brought light and strength to our souls. Now, she is creating a sea of contrasts with ‘Broken Dreams’ bringing happy instrumental to deeper lyrics. Through the track, she encapsulates the feeling of being fed up and let down.
The lyrics tell the tale of being hopeful for something only for it to fall apart. A situation that we can all relate to, the single has been performed live acoustically, but now has received an energetic studio pop sheen. Following on from her previous releases, Amber T showcases her musical ability, while reaching ever greater heights.
‘Broken Dreams’ brings the happy vibes to the music from the first tone. There is a warm and sunny feeling to the music that makes you want to sway to the sound. The easy roll of the drums gets your feet tapping along while the guitar plucks a bright and sunny tone through the chorus. You can almost feel the sun resting on your skin as you listen to the music. While there is a relatively minimalist flow to the music with just the drums and guitar, this arrangement enhances the happy vibes that increase as time goes on. The music easily puts a smile on your face as your feet tap along and your head lightly bops to the rhythm.
The bright, warm and light feelings woven into the music are a delightful contrast to the vocals. Amber T opens her vocal performance with a light hum that rides the happy waves of the melody. This all turns as the lyrics start to hit and draw you into a feeling of disappointment and feeling let down. The chorus has a flow that you can easily bop to, but the lyrics are a different story as they sink into broken dreams. Her voice brings the contrast of the track to life perfectly as her delivery brings a bright edge to the disappointment of the lyrics. Through this contrast in her performance, she has you hooked and you will probably be singing the chorus long after the track has ended.
Amber T brings a wonderful contrast of happy instrumentation and disappointed lyrics in the exploration of ‘Broken Dreams’. The melody brings a warm vibe as your feet tap to the rhythm and you sway in the sun. While Amber T’s vocals carry some of the lightness of the music, the lyrics are a tale of disappointment.
