[@srn306x]

She deserves more recognition.

[@saragon4216]

So true

[@BvbJude]

I agree. But I almost don’t want her to have it. Super stardom corrupts everyone and Amber seems like such a real person and I want her to stay that way.

[@donuts_are_good]

Probably my favorite artist. She’s so fucking good. She’s exactly as I expected her to be.

[@magwatch]

is amber rolling up i think I’m in love 😻

[@peachfreude]

She should definitely release more songs bc i love her stuff. She's brilliant.

[@clattercat4707]

omg not amber rolling a j during the interview lolol

[@Largestina]

lol maybe but handrolled cigs are v common in the UK too, so even if it is weed its fairly socially acceptable to be publically rolling a cig

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

It's a cigarette, dork.

[@Dutch3DMaster]

Even if it would've been a joint, Dutch people are well, used to something like that, some people might consider it a bit careless for doing something like that during an interview, but since interviews for the most part have become so different due to the pandemic I think people might be generally OK with it as well.

[@georgeheaton]

She's just adorable. Love the vibe of these interviews too, way more real and down to earth

[@Kandy-oq1uv]

🎉🎉🎉 ...like you were Familiar in ways of wonderful!! Twysoon Jpbesq 🎉🎉🎉

[@DJMikeHancock]

THANK YOU for the beautiful music! I've been sharing it with my UBER riders here in San Diego, USA. "Dionne" is so unique & original...love it! Thanks!

[@jaridsalah2459]

She is wonderful

[@jayess614]

I very much appreciate the nature of her relaxed, candid and articulate responses to the interview questions; not unlike her music

[@patriciarosalesmarcelo2157]

Loved this interview!

[@sarahertel8992]

I love how she actually thinks about what she says before she speaks. So many artists, and ppl in general, sound well spoken about a topic, but they’re just filling in space. I trust ppl who can stammer a little and take their time. Lol

[@wcglow]

aah omg im so in love with her

[@mounthope2567]

Was so happy she got to work with Justin

[@shubh5614]

ive been addicted to her music.

[@cookieforj3237]

I love her talking voice

[@jayybuchanan5183]

Thanks for this interview!!!

[@coyotedead886]

legend

[@shubh5614]

SIS BE ROLLING AHAHAHAHA

[@larogue100]

Im in love damn it

[@saragon4216]

I don't get why people said her music sounds like Imogen Heap. Amber clearly produced material and making progress for each EP, album. This interview so cool. I like it!

[@desireeestrada7339]

Honestly!!! As if Imogen were the first to ever use a lot of vocal layering and synths

[@bryce5162]

When it’s face like thunder 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

[@renn77788]

У нее самые крутые аранжировки🎉❤🎉❤

[@josephgilgun5297]

Она такая милая

[@8Trails50]

Why does she look so cute here

[@oao6027]

The Japanese House my number 1 song 2020 at Spotify :Donnie, Maybe you're the reason number 1 2019; Teeth number 1 2018; number 1 Leon 2017 😂❤💖

[@scorxx6624]

Marry me amberrrrr

[@user-pt2sx4lc5l]

Anyone can tell me is her accent RP or...?👀

[@somswelvaakniet]

Yeah it is, she's from London if I remember correctly

[@bearythemp5kpro541]

WOAH WEED

[@Nizjni]

Justin Vernon is not the same as Bon Iver...
Great interview though

[@RPNeh]

what do you mean?

[@nietsnik]

@@RPNeh Bon Iver is a band, Justin is the singer ;)

[@callumalston5755]

@@nietsnik sort of, the first record is all Justin… he is bon Iver for all intents and purposes but he collaborates with others

[@greenenoiseaudio]

@@callumalston5755 The first record isn't entirely all Justin. Justin explicitly states himself that OP is correct.

[@petrichor7254]

I didn't know she smokes.

[@daniellewieners4750]

She sucks, couldn't like a candle to Marika

[@Little_kiana]

Who’s that?
