What unfolds in ‘It’s Nothing That You’re Doing’ could be classified as aural magic, or perhaps sonic tenderness… packed with wholesome folk and pop-leaning tones, the EP acts as an evocative catalyst for Amy Fox’s gentle, heartwarming vocals, here delivered with unmatched charisma and quiet restraint. While the subject matter is rather meaningful and reflective, its musical manifestation feels effortless and light, making for a record that’s a joy to listen to, one that will likely offer food for thought.
Hailing from Southampton, UK, Amy Fox wrote ‘It’s Nothing That You’re Doing’ with purpose, charging each of the record’s four tracks with contrasting moods. ‘Better Man’ opens the EP in jazz-flavoured fashion, a slow-tempo ballad that reveals all the detail and nuance in Fox’s hypnotic vocals. ‘Just Like Me’ quickly shifts the reference in nostalgic country-rock territories, also increasing the overall melancholic charge. ‘Pause’ and ‘Give Me The Love’ bring the record to a close with a certain eclecticism, doubling down on the song’s reflective imprint.
Delving deeper into the creative ethos that surrounds such a powerfully honest EP, Fox explains: “A collection of songs that form a chronological soundtrack to my personal (ongoing) journey from trauma, loss and low self-esteem to healing and self-love. Recorded in Andover with Dan Parkinson, the tracks offer a raw vulnerability delivered through candid lyrics, powerful vocals and Dan’s musical wizardry.”
