Review: "Willing To Wait" - Amanda Cy


Willing To Wait by Amanda Cy

"Willing To Wait" by Amanda Cy is an introspective reflection on how we hold ourselves back in a relationship. When you're trapped in anxious thoughts and "can't let go of the past and the doubts,", you may ask yourself, is it self-sabotage or just the way I am? This song acknowledges the messy and chaotic traits the speaker carries into her relationship, and wonders if they are a deal-breaker. The chorus asks the partner if they are able to be patient and consistent, even with the speaker's insecure, unstable qualities. The true essence of the song shines through in the bridge with the words "promise I will put you first, but you gotta love me at my worst." In a message of open vulnerability, this song will move you with its raw and real look into acceptance in a relationship.



This indie pop tune brings an energetic movement to its sound, with a bass-heavy style that emphasizes the high and introspective nature of the vocals. Groovy instrumentals and upbeat percussion will immerse you in the solid and dancey style of the track, with resonant, low guitar chords and vocal echoes throughout creating an interesting aural texture. Amanda's high vocals swing slowly through the syllables in the verse in an alternating pattern that feels like a back-and-forth thought stream. The singing smoothly dives into the pre-chorus as the instrumentals gain a louder sound. Listeners will love the rhythmic and entrancing style of "Willing To Wait".


Amanda Cy is a musician who is based out of London and Stockholm, whose singing and songwriting skills transcend genre with her authentic and exciting style. Her work songwriting for Universal Publishing eventually led her to branch out and release "Ugh!", her independent debut EP. With influences of nature from her adventurous mountain-climber spirit, her lyricism reflects the beauty of her environment. Amanda's music has received acclaim from platforms like Vogue Scandinavia and Fresh Finds. She has performed at various venues, having opened for Griff's tour with shows across Europe, and played headline shows of her own.
