One of the first things you notice about Amy apart from her outlandish bohemian looks, is her raw and beautiful voice. The track itself is a shimmering work of Nineties-influence from he likes of Alanis to PJ Harvey. It’s also a very personal track and centres around the theme of mental health, which is a potent theme across the upcoming EP as a result of her mother sadly struggling with depression and losing her life to suicide.

The songs on her forthcoming debut EP represent an artist who won’t shy away from her feelings, but also one who doesn’t attempt to oversimplify experiences that are deeply complex, or profound. “These songs still have a lot of pain,” she says, “but they’re lighter. I actually feel like I’ve let go of a lot of things in the past year, and that’s had a big influence on my writing.” One thing you notice when you speak to Amy though is her incredible lust for life and positivity.

As well as her powerful new EP, Montgomery was a mesmerising hit on the festival circuit last summer after a number of stunning debut performances at eighteen UK & European summer festivals including Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk, Electric Picnic and Black Deer.
