Amber Mark - Loosies (EP)
Earlier in the week, Sabrina Carpenter posted an EP from Amber Mark titled “Loosies” on her Instagram story. I was quite intrigued for two reasons: one because I love Sabrina & anything she does and two, which is the main reason, that I was unfamiliar with the artist and knew I would be unveiling someone special in the process. Amber Mark’s “Loosies” is a collection that encapsulates raw emotion, storytelling, and vulnerability, all wrapped in her signature blend of soulful production and rich vocal delivery. From the opening track to the final note, Amber takes listeners on a heartfelt journey that feels both personal and universal, making it the perfect accompaniment to the introspective holiday season.
The EP’s production is as dynamic as Amber’s vocal range—melding elements of R&B, soul, and contemporary pop. Each track feels like a page ripped from Amber’s diary, showcasing her ability to weave relatable narratives of love, loss, growth, and healing. Whether it’s the upbeat, groove-infused numbers or the slower, melancholic ballads, “Loosies” delivers a spectrum of emotions, allowing listeners to connect deeply at every turn. My personal highlights on the project are “City Starlight” and “Wait So Yeah,” which capture the essence of Amber’s unique ability to evoke powerful feelings. “City Starlight” is a lush, dreamy soundscape that reflects on longing and self-discovery. The track’s layered instrumentation and ethereal vocals feel like a late-night walk under the city lights, giving it a magical, cinematic quality.
On the other hand, “Wait So Yeah” brings a more upbeat yet deeply emotional vibe, showcasing Amber’s vocal dexterity and her skill at balancing vulnerability with empowerment. It’s the kind of track that invites you to dance while contemplating its deeper meaning. One of the EP’s standout qualities is its sequencing. The tracklist flows seamlessly, creating a cohesive experience that balances vulnerability with empowerment. Amber’s lyrics are layered with introspection, touching on themes of self-discovery and emotional resilience. Her voice—smooth, textured, and undeniably powerful—guides you through the highs and lows with grace and authenticity.
“Loosies” is the perfect introduction to her artistry for those unfamiliar with Amber Mark. It’s an EP that feels timeless, crafted with meticulous care and an unmistakable depth. For fans of introspective and soulful music, this EP is a gift—one that will continue to resonate long after the holiday season. Amber Mark has blessed her audience with a project that not only sounds beautiful but also feels necessary.
