Three Dimensions Deep - Amber Mark // Album Review
Amber Mark’s debut album chronicles her journey through insecurities, coping mechanisms and the reframing of life’s big questions.
released via PMR Records, Jan. 28
Three Dimensions Deep charts the progress Amber Mark has made on her path forward from crippling fears to the realization not all questions require an answer. Earlier projects 3:33am (2017) and Conexão (2018) have prepared the ground for Mark’s first album by giving her space and time to hone her craft as both a songwriter and a producer before launching into orbit on Three Dimensions Deep.
The most emblematic track of Mark’s re-alignment, “What It Is”, feels so spacious despite its small number of parameters. Mark channels Stevie Wonder with subtle cadence shifts and pristine harmonization. “What is the point of it all?” she asks, caressing the firmament with plush velvet vocals. The sentiment is reprised in stand out “On & On”, where Mark sighs “Feeling like there’s more to life / Wish that I could see the signs” to a fizzy hearty beat.
