Amanda Frances is the latest of a string of exciting emerging pop artists to emerge on our radar from Toronto, and judging from debut single ‘Palo Santo’, is someone to keep a watchful eye on.

The track has all of the bounciness and fun of electronic pop, but seems to have a darker edge within its production and pacing that gives it a real cutting edge. Her angelic voice juxtaposes the more grounded nature of the track, which was written entirely by the artist herself, in a wonderfully subversive and interesting way. With a string of releases set to come from the artist, we can’t wait to see what she does next.

According to Amanda, “‘Palo Santo’ represents a magical little moment in my mind where it’s just you and someone else, and the rest of the world just kind of pauses and disappears, leaving you feeling like you’re in a sort of breathless vacuum for a brief moment in time. That moment and that intimacy is what the song is about.”
