#SPOTLIGHT: Ambre McLean

NEW MUSIC FROM FORMER KENT BRIDGE RESIDENT AMBRE McLEAN THIS WEEK IN THE #SPOTLIGHT – HEARD DAILY AT 9:30 DURING XS MORNINGS WITH JAY & ROBYN

It’s been a long time coming, but adopted Chatham-Kent artist Ambre McLean has released the lead single from a forthcoming album. And it’s a very personal and special message for Ambre.
“Little Star” is available now on all major streaming platforms and is dedicated to the memory of Ambre’s late little brother, Victor. It’s the first track from McLean’s next album “The Moon”, expected to be released in early 2023.
For Ambre McLean, music is everything – and everything is music. Born to a household of traveling troubadours, Ambre‘s musical education began early as all the most important life lessons do – the very beginning…
“Have you ever noticed we tend to think about things in our mother tongue? We’ll work out our problems, we plan our days, and we describe our relationships with everything in this world often using only the words we’ve been taught.” states McLean, “I consider music my first language. So when I think about the people in my life, and the moments that have defined me – I do it with music first. When I need to work something out, or tell a story, or convey a message – music is my medium. It’s how I communicate best with this world.” 
This message becomes quickly apparent to any listener experiencing Ambre‘s music. Ambre McLean’s lyrics pour out to her listeners, as if she is speaking directly to them.” writes one fan. As she seamlessly flows between the jovial and the melancholy, from one instrument to another, Ambre seems to both marry musical genres, and render them irrelevant all at the same time. Ambre McLean defies categorization, and this is good – don’t bother naming it, just enjoy” states radio host David Yazbeck.
A staple of the Candian indie and folk music scenes for nearly 2 decades, McLean has become renowned for her live performances. While her multi-instrumental approach, and compelling songwriting set the stage, it’s Ambre‘s unique and captivating voice that truly steps into the spotlight. With the help of her trusty loop pedal, and a bag of musical magic tricks, Ambre creates soundscapes that seem to wash over you and swallow you whole – that then make way for touching and intimate soliloquies that set your heart free.
