Amanda Black chats to TshisaLIVE about her new album, getting over a break-up and her social media persona.
“I ignored my emotional, psychological because I was in the battle ... and I neglected me,” Amanda said.Songstress Amanda Black chats to us about her new album, finding her voice after a break-up and her social media persona.Mnyama“I can’t wait for people to hear this side of me because it’s gentle, it speaks of a time where I was vulnerable and allowing myself to be honest,” she said.
A week before the president announced the 21-day lockdown in March last year, Amanda went through a tough break-up after a three-year romantic relationship and decided to travel back home to contemplate. “Going through the break-up within the lockdown, I was actually seeing what had actually happened, I had time to think about it and ask myself questions. I couldn’t really run away from myself any more, there was nothing to distract me ... Even being home, it reminded me of myself.”The singer admits that having some time away to introspect had her lamenting and interrogating her feelings about her past.
“I remember I was not able to express to people in the house that I don’t feel like getting up from bed, and not being able to give that a name, I just went through this darkness that I couldn’t explain.”
