It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything new from Amanda Marshall.<\/p>\n
Until now.<\/p>\n
Two Two decades after leaving the music scene, Amanda\u00a0Marshall is ready for her comeback.\u00a0 The Toronto singer-songwriter, known for her ’90’s hits “Let It Rain” and “Birmingham” just released a new single with plans for an album and tour this summer.<\/p>\n
She says it’s taken so long because of a battle with her former manager dragged on for the better part of 12 years, and then the pandemic put a stop to her planned return as well.<\/p>\n
Amanda is 50 years old now.\u00a0 She says decades off the road allowed her to learn and enjoy a simpler life.\u00a0 She’s learned to like cooking for herself and paying her own bills.<\/p>\n
Her new single “I Hope She Cheats” is a cover of a track originally recorded by Marsha Ambrosius of Floetry, but in her version she adds a more playful and bluesy spin.<\/p>\n
When asked about the song, Amanda Marshall says :<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“This song is mean. The lyric is cutting, and brilliantly funny \u2014 a bitter swipe at an ex. But a closer listen reveals a deeper underlying mix of melancholy and longing for what might have been. It\u2019s about knowing what\u2019s real and true, and most of all, knowing your own value.<\/em><\/p>\n
We pick ourselves up. We start over. We bounce back. We are resilient.\u00a0\u2026But sometimes, it\u2019s ok to whisper \u2018I hope she cheats\u201d to no one in particular.”<\/em><\/p>\n
