Amanda Holley's FOMO Is What Happens When Pop and R&B Fall in Love
Amanda Holley's latest single, FOMO, feels like it was tailor-made for the weekend. Released last month and described as her most intimate single to date, the singer/songwriter's new tune is a soul-stirring and genre-blending gem. A seamless fusion of pop sparkle and R&B seductiveness, it radiates both radio-friendly shine and emotional depth.
"FOMO is more than fear of missing out - it's fear of feeling too much," says Amanda. "Sometimes it's easier to post a selfie than to admit you miss someone, but real love requires presence, and that's terrifying after trauma."
Capturing the vulnerability of longing in a world overrun by monitors and notifications, the New York City-based artist has concocted a track that dares to feel - in an age seemingly built to numb. It's powerful stuff, and it's another example of Holley's gift for using her remarkable vocal range to tell real stories.
FOMO will form part of the musician's upcoming HolleyGraphic EP. Having been out for less than a month, the tune is fast-approaching 60,000 plays on Spotify. Clearly, Amanda Holley's sound is striking a chord, and that's only heightening anticipation for the release of HolleyGraphic.
