Amber&#8217;s self-released EP, &#8216;Far Away Dreaming&#8217;, is her debut solo effort, and is set for release on February 24. &#8216;Far Far Far&#8217;, the first single from the EP dropped on January 27, and the stunning track is far far far away from any fairy tale<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amber Nicholson first started playing piano at the age of 5, with the aim of one day becoming a concert pianist. Her early ambitions didn&#8217;t stop there, and she has since become a critically acclaimed singer and songwriter, and has not only performed in and around her hometown of Fulshear, Texas, but she&#8217;s also put back by educating others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amber&#8217;s debut EP, &#8216;Far Away Dreaming&#8217;, was co-produced by Amber herself alongside Jacob Meador, the latter of whom also served as engineer, at Orchestrate Sound, in Needville, Texas. With 5 original songs, we hear Amber go the full spectrum of emotions, as she lays her soul bare, sharing about love, loss, and perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First single from the set, &#8216;Far Far Far&#8217;, was released on January 27, and precedes the album by almost a full month. Amber combines both vocals and piano playing, reminding us much of Allison Krauss, with honky-tonk tinged pop\/country stylings.  It&#8217;s a bitingly witty song as she sings to a former lover about how the next time she falls in love will be different, because the person she became is someone &#8220;far far far far far far away from you&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Far Far Far&#8217; is short and sweet, at just over 2 and a half minutes long, but it packs enough of a punch to not need to be any longer. The years she&#8217;s put into performing have stood her well, and given her more than the necessary bones for her debut EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, it&#8217;s perhaps best to let Amber speak for herself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I make music because it&#8217;s a safe place to let myself go. Music helps release to the world and the people that are nearest me. I see it as a way to contribute to my community, as both an artist and individual.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Far Far Far&#8217; is out now, and can be streamed and downloaded in all the usual places, including <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2ymKFlmpinCV38vhEZHdSv?si=cb3915ccc0054b44\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/2ymKFlmpinCV38vhEZHdSv?si=cb3915ccc0054b44\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/far-far-far-single\/1662302019\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/far-far-far-single\/1662302019\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Music<\/a>.
