That sort of exploration and freedom has rung through The Japanese House over the past year - a feeling that if you want to try something, then why not muck about and see what happens? It’s how the very best of albums are made and with 2019 now careering into view, now is the time The Japanese House steps up to the plate with something special. More so, with something that sounds unlike anything you will have heard from her before.
Flash back, and the journey remains quite stunning. One that started with mysterious tracks and questions about who on earth The Japanese House is blossomed into an artist full of exciting development, where each EP was different to the last, and those larger rooms became home. There were arenas, headline tours around the globe and that feeling that anything could be possible. Now feels different, though.
“I’ve never felt so healthy about releasing music and touring. The past year, my life has changed, and I’ve changed more than I’ve ever done before. I’ve broken myself down and then built myself up, and now I’m excited about sharing music and excited to go on tour, and I’m not anxious about anything. That’s greatly helped by making an album that I’m proud of and I have no doubts within myself,” Amber explains. “At the moment, anyway,” she cracks.
Taking that change in her own life, she made a conscious decision that to make the album she wanted she needed to step away.
