Amatus is a woman with big hair and a sweet, sexy voice that delivers an impressive range of melodic layering. She knows that spontaneous reactions to change are unavoidable in places like New York, Chicago and Philly. The cities she has called home, the cities where she has experienced the freedom to create, and the cities where she has witnessed several deaths through gun violence. Brushing shoulders with people like The Roots, Erykah Badu, Common, just to name a few, her songs ease-out the hard edges of the metropolis, balancing the tension, while adding harmony to life.
Broken Compass, her debut EP, is a response to that creative flow that festers in urban communities; albeit, needing the aid of a navigational tool. But when one has a broken compass it is difficult to place oneself within the larger world. Issues concerning love and relationships might be challenged, but a world of harsh competition would be exponentially daunting.
