The musical arena of 2023 resonates with the dynamic vigor of Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells (ADRD), a pop-rock ensemble originating from the Bahamas, UK, and Spain. Amid the mounting excitement for their eagerly awaited sophomore album, poised to grace the music sphere come September, ADRD unveils their fourth single, titled “Amanda.” released on July 21st, this fresh offering adds another sparkling gem to the band’s already impressive melodic collection. Following the uplifting launch of “Are You Crazy,” a track dedicated to championing Mental Health Awareness Month in May, “Amanda” serves as a testament to ADRD’s remarkable versatility and musical prowess.
Upon arrival, “Amanda” emanates with ADRD’s distinctive and luminous sound, seamlessly harmonizing with the sonic grandeur of their previous hits like “Big Old Nowhere” and “Hello 2 You.” The song is adorned with crystalline guitars, spirited basslines, propelling drum cadences, and harmoniously layered vocals, composing a sonic mosaic that once again fashions an anthemic ambience, fitting for all listeners.
ADRD’s fruitful partnership with Roy Stride from Scouting For Girls yields fruit once again, with his production finesse gracing both “Amanda” and “Big Old Nowhere.” Captured against the idyllic backdrop of Spain’s western coast in Valencia, the song even features a cameo appearance by George Harrison’s Organ during its middle-eight interlude. The highly anticipated sophomore album, set to make its debut in March 2023, further showcases the production brilliance of Spanish maestro Marc Martin, renowned for his contributions to Latin music with luminaries like Christina Aguilera and Marc Anthony.
A live ADRD performance is an experience that avid music aficionados wouldn’t want to forgo. From supporting Scouting For Girls on their UK tour to delivering a mesmerizing showcase in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, the band’s journey carried them to join Roachford on his European tour, covering grounds in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. More recently, ADRD shared the limelight with Boyzlife, a dynamic duo formed by members from Westlife and Boyzone. This tour showcased the band’s exceptional ability to forge connections with their audience while spreading messages of optimism and hope.
ADRD burst onto the scene in 2020 with their debut album “Arrival,” promptly capturing hearts and earning acclaim, firmly establishing their status as emerging pop-rock luminaries. Their impact in the United States was undeniable, as tracks like “Daylight” and “It’s Your Night” soared into the upper echelons of the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. The momentum persevered with “Hello 2 You,” the lead single from their forthcoming second album, achieving a parallel feat by ascending to the Top 30 territory of the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts in 2022.
As the vibrant rhythms of “Amanda” herald the impending release of their sophomore album, Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells continue to enthrall audiences with their magnetic sound and captivating performances. Their journey from international stages to the hearts of devoted fans solidifies their standing as a dynamic presence in the ever-evolving pop-rock panorama.
