A song that gets under your skin. That’s how it feels to listen to “Storm in My Life,” the latest single from The Amanda Emblem Experiment. Like one of those tracks you didn’t realize you needed until it landed in your eardrums with a proverbial thump. The catchy acoustic folk and blues song, which was released on July 25, features playful but incisive lyrical storytelling and an upbeat performance from the artist. Using her finely honed fingerpicking guitar skills developed during lockdown, Amanda creates a wonderfully rhythmic and warm musical landscape for a tale that uses wild weather as a metaphor for love and all its life affirming highs and lows.
The delivery is light, but the song carries real depth and feeling. Storms are central to the lyrics, with Amanda likening her relationship to one. A storm in a good way not a disaster, but something that electrifies, excites, and shakes you to your core. It makes you feel more alive than anything else. She even confesses to finding a little thrill when she sees floodwaters rising on her farm. It’s a clever reflection of how we, as humans, often crave emotional chaos even when we know it’s not always good for us. Amanda captures that feeling beautifully in this track not just through the words, but in the way she plays and sings them. You can almost hear her smiling as she sings, fully aware of the messy beauty of it all. There’s a raw authenticity in her performance that shows she embraces the storm, both literal and emotional.
This isn’t just another song about love; it feels deeply personal, while remaining highly relatable. Relationships with all their joy, confusion, and emotional hangovers never go out of style. And when the world outside feels as stormy as it does sunny, a song like this hits even harder. As the lead single from her upcoming album ‘The Wood’, “Storm in My Life” is a standout stripped-back, honest, and musically tight. The songwriting is strong, Amanda’s vocals are clear and confident, and her band is subtle yet perfectly in sync, never overcrowding the sound. It’s a bright, breezy, and thoroughly enjoyable listen. The metaphors feel natural, not forced more like a flowing creek, just as Amanda sings about. If this is any indication of what’s to come, fans of acoustic blues-folk are in for something truly special.
