LYRIC VIDEO FOR “I’LL ADMIT IT”: HERE
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – As Falcon, Amanda Lindsey Cook is crafting a poetic pop sound, influenced by her classical roots, informed by her life experiences, and enlightened by imaginative melodies. Today, she debuts her first single as Falcon titled “I’ll Admit It” available through SONY/Provident Label Group.
“I’ll Admit It” ups the emotional ante with an agonized vocal torn between resignation and anger. As the singer takes the blame for the emotional distance that kept her from fully surrendering to her feelings, strings, melodic percussion and a slow, relentless rhythm add to the track’s emotional tension.
Born in Canada, Cook started to play piano at five and eventually received a degree from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto. At the age of 20, she released her first album Amanda Falk and won a Juno (Canadian Grammy) for Best Contemporary Christian/Gospel album.
“I was an old soul in a young body,” she reflects. “My songs, then and now, are about the intersection between faith and everyday life.”
Cook moved to California and released Brave New World in 2015. A pop hit, the album won a Dove award for Inspirational Album of the Year in 2016.
The reason for “Falcon”? She wanted a new canvas for a new endeavor. The idea came about in a conversation with her long-time friend/collaborator/producer, Jason Ingram.
“We were having a conversation about the different kinds of music I want to make, and how I don’t want to be confined to one genre, sound, or theme. I have to explore. I have to be able to write about everything - it’s a path of clarity for me...a way of interpreting and understanding my experiences. He suggested that “I go Falcon” on this next album, and that was that. It felt like being handed an ancient key to a room in my own house I hadn’t explored yet.”
