Amanda Martinez - Amor (2015) [DSD64]

"... A definite creative step forward. Her supple and pleasingly melodic vocals remain a prime asset, while her songwriting shows real progress... A well-constructed work." — Exclaim!

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Amanda Martinez exultingly blends her unique Mexican and South African roots with flamenco soul on this album of love songs, more than half of which are Martinez originals written in Spanish, her second language. Inspired by her marriage and a new baby, this is a personal and intimate collection, ably performed by Martinez's excellent band.
