Today, critically adored singer, songwriter, and producer Amber Mark drops “Wait So Yeah,” a playful and seductive cut that hits like a cool breeze on a warm night. The song will land on the Loosies EP out this Friday, November 22. Pre-save the full set here, see the track list below, and stream “Wait So Yeah” below via PMR / Interscope Records.
“Wait So Yeah” begins with a swell of vocal harmonies that soon becomes the backdrop to a breezy mix of booming 808s, crisp hi-hats, crunchy snares, and Mark’s velvety vocals: “Have you ever seen a sunrise twice? / ’Cause I really wanna spend the night with you-ooh-ooh / My body don’t need no sleep / No, nothing gon’ come between me and you-ooh.” Woven into the track are the voices of her collaborators: Two Fresh (Mac Miller, Teddy Swims), John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter, Benny Blanco), and Steph Jones (Carpenter, Selena Gomez).
Mark recently explained the origins of the Loosies EP. “As I’ve been working on so much music for the next album, this mini project just started coming together,” she said. “It’s loose, sweaty, and a little dance-floor. Mainly made at home by myself and with a few of my friends. The rest is coming, but this is a little thank you to anyone who’s waiting for being so patient.”
Fans were previously treated to two other Loosies songs entirely written, performed, and produced by Mark, who shared her creative process over socials. Most recent was “Sink In,” a slinky groove that swirls up jazz piano, Jersey club, and after-hours energy (featuring a cameo from her cat Moosh). Before that came “Won’t Cry,” 3 minutes and 40 seconds of soul-healing, electrified disco bliss that grooves like Giorgio Moroder caught up in a quiet storm.
This year, Mark’s been unveiling her bold new musical era bit by bit. In May, she shared “Space & Time,” which begins with the poise of a torch song before turning into a futuristic global dance cut. And before that was “Comin’ Around Again,” a slinky, pop-kissed soul anthem that stirs up decades of rhythm and blues. For good measure, she also dropped a summer standalone with “Lovely Day,” the first cover of the Bill Withers classic sanctioned by his estate.
Those 2024 songs comprise Mark’s first new music since she released her acclaimed debut album in 2022. Three Dimensions Deep received near-universal praise including rave reviews from NPR, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork, among others. That followed her inspired pandemic-era “Covered-19” audio-visual series, and her celebrated early EPs, Conexão and 3:33am — not to mention accomplished standalone tracks like the Paul Woolford-assisted “Heat” and “Mixer.”
Mark’s overflowing talent, entrancing voice, and one-of-one vision have made her not only one of music's most exciting artists, but also one who exists outside of genre. “Wait So Yeah” is yet more proof that despite Mark’s casualness around it, Loosies will be a rich and rewarding listen.
