AMANDA REIFER UNVEILS ISLAND FILES

LATEST PROJECT FROM 2X GRAMMY® AWARD-NOMINATED ARTIST

FEATURES FIVE NEW TRACKS INCLUDING THE SULTRY “SWEAT”

ISLAND FILES AVAILABLE NOW VIA TITLE9/ATLANTIC RECORDS

Leading up to her eagerly anticipated new project, 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist Amanda Reifer has shared a new collection of songs called, Island Files, available now via TITLE9/Atlantic Records. The collection features five new tracks highlighted by the sultry “Sweat,” produced by Philip “DJ Hardwerk” Constable and premiering today.

“[Island Files is] a lil island ting to sweat to while my album’s being mixed,” shares Amanda.

Island Files arrives on the heels of last month’s exclusive new remix pack of Reifer’s first “official file,” “Colonize,”. The three-track collection sees the acclaimed original version joined by new spins from GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Nana Kwabena (Jidenna, Janelle Monáe) and famed Jamaican producer Supa Dups (Becky G, Kali Uchis).

Hailed by Billboard in its “R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week” as “an evocative, sensual ode to remaining steadfast in your own existence and rejecting the imposition of outside ideals or expectations,” “Colonize” sees Reifer paying homage to fellow Barbadian artist Rupee by sampling his Caribbean classic, “Tempted To Touch.” The provocative track – produced by Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples, Don Toliver) – is joined by a lush companion visual, streaming now at YouTube HERE. “Colonize” proved an immediate phenomenon upon its release last month, accompanied by an exclusive interview on Apple Music’s “New Music Daily Radio With Zane Lowe” and featured cover appearance on Spotify’s newly launched RNBX Magazine.

Island Files collection continues a dramatic rise from Amanda Reifer building more anticipation as we await her debut album The Reifer Files – a series of audio/visual content releases which explore the 2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist’s roots expressed through her fierce Bajan Pisces perspective. Fully co-created by Reifer, the groundbreaking project sees the artist channeling the complex nature of the heart via such releases as “Devastating (Interlude),” “In And Out (Interlude),” and “Bitch Like Me (Intro),” together presenting a sultry statement of her intent with impressive self-assurance and evocative melody.

ABOUT AMANDA REIFER

Amanda Reifer soaks up the energy around her and beams it back out into the world in the form of translucent and transcendent anthems accented by elements of pop, hip-hop, reggae, and soul. A creative pliability enables her to seamlessly wade through moods. On the surface, she stands out as a GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer and songwriter. At heart, you’ll find a free-thinking Bajan Pisces unfettered from any and all boundaries. She has come a long way from her native Barbados, but she carries home with her wherever she goes. Audiences initially met Amanda as frontwoman for Cover Drive in London where she consistently cracked the Top 10 of the UK charts peaking at #1. 2018 saw her commence a solo career independently, sparked by “Bang Bang” and “Rich Bitch Juice.” During 2022, she landed in a recording session with K. Lamar, co-writing and singing on “Die Hard” [feat. BLXST & Amanda Reifer] from his epic #1 album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Elevating to another stratosphere, Amanda’s presence could be felt in the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, she landed her first GRAMMY® Award nod for “Best Melodic Rap Performance.” She parlayed this momentum into her next creative chapter. An uncontainable and undeniable spirit surges through her music series, The Reifer Files (TITLE9/Atlantic Records). With fire and fluidity, she amplifies her vision like never before as a co-creator in the writing, directing, editing and curating of her evolving body of work.
