Press Play - Amanda Holley (R&B) Amanda Holley is reviving that classic R&B sound with latest track “Pless Play”, showcasing some soulful vocals over a crisp percussion production with 90s inspired synths and keys. The track straddles midtempo and dance, as the ambience is quite groovy while the thudding of the kick adds that “turn up” element. There’s a “pregame before hitting the clubs” feel to the track. The vocals are rich and centered in the record, clearly chock full of inspiration from some of the greats. Overall, we place the track in a very Kelly Rowland vibe, with some Mariah worthy harmony punches and a touch of Ariana in the top adlibs. Rich, warm and soulful, Amanda is delivering R&B at its finest.
Best Lyric: “Leave the world behind us and turn up and turn out.”
