Brooklyn via Berlin singer-songwriter Yvonne Ambrée returns with a brand new release ‘Blue High’, lifted from the upcoming debut EP due later this year.
Following on from her recent single ‘Anyone Someone’, ‘Blue High’ evokes a sense of longing and escape through forlorn, intricate melodies.
She explains: “‘Blue High’ plays with the concept of opposites – ex. ‘The soft and vigorous, cities and villages…take her away’. Sometimes the extremes seem closer depending on from where you stand. I am also curious of how vast the space in between two extremes can be and where each individual turns the switch. In between all of this is the need to escape into another world which is an idea that comes up in many of my songs ( ex. “walk within your fantasies, soon return to the world”). ‘Blue High’ is one of the most recent songs I wrote with producer Jeremy Page. The process from start to finish was quick and some of the footage seen in the video was shot during a trip to Rome – a city of ancient ruins and modern tourists – in early January of 2023.”
Yvonne Ambrée (also known as Panteon) writes, records, produces, and performs songs that bridge time and space, earth and sky, analog and electronic, introspection and observation. She was born in Berlin, and now lives and works between Berlin and Brooklyn.
Ambrée’s latest project, set for an early 2023 release, is a collaboration with Brooklyn-based producer Jeremy Page. Ambrée and Page have together generated an eclectic sound that is as ample as it is elegant and as tender as it is tenacious. Voluptuous vocal harmonies abide by vividly arranged synth and analog instrumentals, creating a rhythmic current for the listener to drop into.
Shaped by the slow return to social enmeshment after two years of pandemic life, these songs explore dimensions of desire, longing, non-attachment, and letting go. The first single, “Anyone Someone”, will be available by the end of January, with “Blue High” soon to follow in March, and an EP in mid-2023.
