Listen up, you beautiful noise addicts! If you think genuine rock ‘n’ roll is a relic of the past, ReeToxA is here to shatter that illusion with a sledgehammer called “Amber.”
This is an artifact, a piece of soul excavated from 1995 and injected with modern adrenaline. This is the first song Jason McKee ever penned, and the fact that it’s hitting this hard nearly three decades later tells you everything you need to know about its raw, untamable power.
The story behind the track is what fuels this fire. Back in ’95, McKee thought he had the girl of his dreams, only to have her swayed by the opinions of others. Instead of letting that heartbreak consume him, he turned it into a love poem, then transformed it into this sonic beast. “Amber” is his urgent, pissed-off, and passionate plea for someone to follow their heart, not the crowd. That theme is timeless, and it’s what gives the song its emotional weight—it’s not just a song; it’s a battle cry for anyone who’s ever been told who to love or how to live.
Positioned as the third track on a stacked album, “Amber” reminds you why rock music still matters. It’s loud, it’s honest, and it’s real. ReeToxA has managed to resurrect a piece of history without letting it sound like a museum piece.
