EDITORS CHOICE: Rebecca Richards releases angry Jolene style tune “Amber”

“Amber ruined everything. I found myself feeling so jealous of something inanimate, that it ended up taking on a whole personality of its own!”

Amber tells a tale of love eclipsed by obsession, jealousy and the resulting devastation and ultimate demise it brings, and yet….will have you singing along with its catchy chorus and bopping to its summery infectious groove. Amber sees a return to producer Stef Judd of Flatland Kings fame who previously co-produced The House and Aces are High. Rebecca says, “I love working with Stef, he somehow always manages to capture exactly what I’m going for in a song.”

Known for her captivating blend of country, blues, rock, and folk, singer songwriter from Pontypool, Rebecca Richards’ heartfelt melodies and soulful lyrics resonate deeply with audiences worldwide. Her songs, inspired by personal experiences and emotions, strike a perfect balance between fun and uplifting and the bittersweet, creating a unique yet familiar sound that lingers in the hearts of listeners.

Rebecca was thrilled to be invited play at The Cavern Club, Liverpool in Feb 2024 as part of the BCMA Awards showcase session. Other venues include The Camden Club, London, and South Wales Country Music Festival, Newport where she has also played host for the past 2 years and will host again in 2025.

Her songs have generated radio play all over the world with her last single “Aces Are High” reaching number 2 in the British and Irish Hotdisc Top 40 and number 9 in the European charts and featured a play on Bronwen Lewis’s Country Show on BBC Radio Wales.
