Unravelling

Citizenfreak proudly presents the debut solo album from Amanda Rheaume, a heartfelt and intimate collection of songs now available exclusively on citizenfreak.com. With her evocative vocals, thoughtful songwriting, and rich instrumentation, Rheaume crafts a deeply personal and engaging listening experience. Co-produced with Greg Geeves—an Ottawa music veteran who a decade earlier lent his synth and drum programming talents to Kyana’s sought-after single Hold On (Let Me Tell You This): https://citizenfreak.com/titles/328102-kyana-hold-on-let-me-tell-you-this-b-w-that-s-the-way-it-is - this album benefits from a refined production approach that blends organic musicianship with polished arrangements. Geeves’ contributions on keyboards and production elevate Rheaume’s deeply personal songwriting, giving each track a warm, immersive feel. From the stripped-down honesty of her guitar and vocal performances to the textured layers of keyboards, drums, and guest guitars, each track resonates with emotion and sincerity. Standout songs like On the Wall, So Proud, and Piggy Back feature Jason Woodley’s dynamic drumming, while Scott Reeves’ guitar work shines on Piggy Back. Rheaume’s artistic vision extends beyond the music, with her own artwork gracing the album, complemented by striking photography from Joe Cristello and Sean Sisk. The album’s DIY spirit and heartfelt acknowledgments reinforce the passion behind this project, making it clear that Rheaume is an artist who puts her heart and soul into her craft. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time listener, this debut is a testament to her dedication, resilience, and the vibrant musical community that surrounds her. A must-listen for those who appreciate honest, soul-stirring music.
