The track follows the release of her well-received debut single ‘Dahlia’
Building off the expansive alternative pop sound that the artist established on her debut single ‘Dahlia’ at the start of the year, Ana Amado has followed up with the atmospheric and gripping ‘The Intake’, a track that utilises a dark and immersive soundscape to try to capture feelings of anxiety and emotional overwhelm in compelling fashion.
There is a very deliberate and stylish appeal to the track throughout, offering it an almost haunting quality that seeps through everything from the production to the winding nature of Ana’s commanding vocal delivery. All of these factors come together to make for a track that feels both powerful and vulnerable, layered full of darkness and a trip-hop aesthetic but armed with something very human and fragile at its core. The track does a great job of fleshing out Ana’s sonic world alongside Spain-based producer Ribji Contreras, and we’re excited to hear how Ana Amado builds on her two excellent initial releases.
