New single "NEXT TO ME" from Los Angeles based artist and creator Hunter Blair Ambrose
The track is a synth-pop love song that is equal parts mid-tempo banger and power ballad. "NEXT TO ME" was co-written by longtime collaborator and producer Jason Strong (Gayle, Mothica, Salem Elise) in the fall of 2022. The song’s lyrics serve as a confession of love and devotion to a somewhat unsuspecting love interest and an expression of making the decision to give into falling in love. It was also written about making the conscious decision to give your entire heart and soul to someone and the desire to have them by your side through the ups and downs of life.
Hunter Blair Ambrose has found success with hundreds of thousands of streams and is known for her powerfully distinctive vocals, vast range, tight melisma-flourished delivery, fashion forward styling, and provocative visuals to accompany her artistry.
