Minnesota singer/songwriter Amanda B. Perry has long been one of the Midwest’s most compelling voices. She’s essentially a storyteller with a theatrical edge, a pianist with emotional grit, and a vocalist capable of shaking rafters while breaking hearts. With List of Lovers, her third full-length album, Perry delivers her most sweeping artistic statement yet; a lush, fearless examination of romance in all its beauty, conflict, temptation, and transformation.

Where her previous releases hinted at her range, List of Lovers brings it into full focus for all to enjoy. The album is built on a Pop and Americana foundation, but she moves through its 10 tracks with a sophistication and dramatic flair that for us, transcended genre. Produced by Eric Blomquist at River Rock Studios in Minneapolis, the record glows with warm textures, crisp arrangements, and a cinematic quality that elevates even its quietest moments.

The through-line of the album is unmistakable, Perry’s voice! It’s a commanding, elastic instrument that’s capable of soaring to powerhouse heights one moment and falling to a near whisper the next. She performs with a sort of grace that makes every emotional shift feel seismic. Whether she’s channeling passion or devastating loss, her delivery is raw, intentional, and drenched in humanity. Her vocals literally make you forget everything that’s going on around her and focus in on the lyricism.

Yet, the instrumentation surrounding that voice is just as thoughtfully crafted. Bright, ringing piano chords, supported by tasteful percussion, shimmering organs, and acoustic layers that give the record a sense of depth without ever crowding the vocals. The production is slick too which makes the album feel both modern and timeless. Every musical choice feels precise, each arrangement unfolding like a scene in a film.

Lyrically, List of Lovers is Perry at her most evocative. She explores love as a landscape filled with blind corners. There’s stories of forbidden connections, moral dilemmas, irresistible temptation, and the tension between choosing what’s right and surrendering to what you want. She’s honest, open, and it’s almost as if these stories came right out of her personal diary. You really get to know the person behind the music here.

List of Lovers feels like the culmination of everything Amanda B. Perry has been building toward. You’re about to experience a confident and beautifully crafted album that showcases her storytelling, her voice, and her artistic identity with clarity. It’s bold. It’s heartfelt. It’s alive with the contradictions that make love so compelling.
