‘Lost With Me’ was inspired by Amber’s time spent touring outback Australia, performing in a new town every night, falling in love with the freedom and being able to share that with a like-minded partner.
The track, which was written by Amber, features vocals from renowned Nashville artist Karli Chayne, and instrumentation from Nashville based artist and producer James Sinclair-Stott. Recorded in both Australia and Nashville, this is the first of many upbeat, modern pop country singles showing off Amber’s new direction since her last release ‘Painted Me Grey’ in November 2021.
Amber McIntosh is an Australian artist based in Far North Queensland. The soft voiced, dynamic, and sometimes crossover artist blends characters and influences of modern pop and modern country music. Possessing a smooth lower range, Amber leans more towards a soft and breathy falsetto mirroring her middle voice.
Accompanied by her less refined and cut to the core lyrics, Amber has a way of writing to ignite personal and emotional intimacy.
Amber first picked up the guitar at thirteen and has been enthralled by songs and lyrics by the likes of Jeff Buckley, Fleetwood Mac, and Crowded House. It’s not just these alt-rock classics that Amber admires; she also harbours a deep love for Norah Jones. “She has certainly been a large influence in my song writing, I would listen to her debut album on my cassette player every night”.
Amber first discovered her love for the stage after performing live at local festivals in her hometown as a young girl. She then took to the road spending most of 2018 and 2019 touring the Northern Territory, Western Queensland, and Queensland’s East Coast.
Sharing the stage with fellow Australian country artists, some of her favourite performances to date have been Winton’s Way-Out West Fest, Kickstart Music Festival Yeppoon, and North Queensland Toyota Cowboys pre-game entertainment.
Following the successful independent release of her first single ‘Painted Me Grey’, Amber placed runner-up in the Radio Eastern 98.1fm Talent Search, as well as receiving a large amount of radio play from both commercial and community radio stations.
