Naarm Melbourne-based artist Amanduh returns with her latest single “Hydroplaning,” moving into new emotional territory through a dreamy blend of indie, pop, and alternative textures. Known for nostalgic melodies, soft-focus vocals, and introspective lyricism, Amanduh frames the song around the quiet unraveling of a relationship. The track follows her 2024 debut EP and recent single “Indigo Sky,” continuing a songwriting approach rooted in self-reflection and emotional clarity.
Lyrically, “Hydroplaning” draws on the metaphor of losing traction and control, mirroring emotional patterns that repeat despite knowing the outcome. “It’s ultimately another song about the breakdown of a relationship, but I really loved the concept of the word ‘hydroplaning,’” Amanduh shares. Built on smooth bass, shimmering synths, subtle percussion, and layered vocals, the song drifts with a calm, flowing rhythm, allowing its sense of emotional inevitability to unfold without resistance.
