ALBUM: Amanda Black – Power ZIP. Three years after her groundbreaking debut album, Amanda Black reclaims a dream temporarily deferred. Her defiant return is an Afro-soul tour de force marked by uplifting tones and a renewed faith in love. “Power is bold, brave and honest”, she tells Apple Music.
“It’s a collection of sounds I think can heal a lot of souls.” On her 18-track offering, the singer has facilitated her own healing—and it shows in her style. While her transcendent voice is a familiar comfort, her newfound maturity shows through her carefully refined songwriting. “Famous”, for instance, begins with the lyrics “Last night I had a dream about you”, neatly tying into the previous song “Bayile”, which incorporates the popular lullaby “Thula Baba”.
