On September 4th 2022, UK-based music artist Amber Saqladi released her self-written debut single, Summer Rain, via HQ Familia.
A wonderful blend of the descriptive storytelling and vocals of country music along with the ethereal, hazy instrumentation of dream pop, Summer Rain paints a detailed and emotional picture of a summer romance left in ambiguity through its poetic lyricism and dreamy instrumentation. The song truly showcases her individuality and ever-growing skills as both a multi-genre writer and vocalist.
“As the last rays of summer fade away, a girl sits in the dimming light, quietly remembering her summer of unexpected love; a love that hit her far harder than it should’ve and that she was by no means searching for.
Memories of this love seemed to present themselves to her as golden ghosts entangled within the dying rays of light: memories of favourite grey sweatshirts, of hair that falls into soft ringlets when it grows too long and – of course – of magical dances in the Summer Rain.
It was everything young love should be and yet, all of that beauty, joy and passion she felt in her heart was being held within the form of a boy, waiting at the train station to leave the town that he no longer considered his home.
She sits, wondering if she made it to the station in time, if she asked him to stay for her… could that ever be enough to keep him from leaving? She sits, wondering with a heavy heart if he would ever stay now. Or if he, too, must wash away with the Summer Rain.” – Amber Saqladi on her debut single, Summer Rain
