Country artist Amanda Kind, hailing from Waterloo, ON, is recognized for her heartfelt fusion of contemporary and classic country music.
Recently, Amanda introduced her inaugural EP, titled The Good Fight, a project that took three years to craft. The EP includes her earlier successful singles: “Slow Dance,” “Jumping Through Hoops,” and “Rebel Spirit.”
“Jumping Through Hoops” uses vivid imagery and a strong, assertive tone to convey a message of empowerment and resilience in the face of deception. The recurring refrain, “You’re gonna be the one jumping through hoops,” not only establishes a memorable and compelling hook but also reinforces the overarching theme of the other person confronting the repercussions of their actions.
The latest single and title track, “The Good Fight,” encapsulates a compelling narrative of tenacity and determination amidst challenges. The strength of the song lies in its storytelling, portraying individuals facing adversity with a commitment to persevere. The repeated mantra, “Keep fightin’ the good fight, even when nothing seems right,” resonates powerfully. The bridge introduces a reflective moment, emphasizing the importance of letting go of the past for a promising future, adding depth to the overarching theme of resilience and change. The track has the potential to resonate with a broad audience, especially those going through challenging times, and may serve as a source of inspiration and motivation.
With the impactful collection of upbeat and slowed-down tracks, The Good Fight is a stand-out in the country/ roots genre.
