#13 | Amanda Shires | Take It Like A Man
ATO

Featuring ten stirring songs that together embody the virtues of creative endurance, emotional resonance and human resilience, Shires’ seventh solo affair Take It Like A Man is unequivocally her most powerful musical statement and greatest artistic achievement to date. An introspective work of an artist who, lucky for us, has persevered through recent periods of self-doubt, the album’s title and its suggestion of stoic responses to life’s most challenging moments stand in stark contrast to Shires’ soul-baring lyrical content that defines and illuminates the Lawrence Rothman produced record.

A radiant revelation of an album that places a premium on art over artifice and substance over semblance, Take It Like A Man evinces the many gifts of a songwriter who arguably hasn’t reached her creative prime just yet, but is well on her way to experiencing the pinnacle soon enough.
