"Sugar and Spice," the latest single from Amber T, continues the musician's exploration into the alternative pop sound. The singer-songwriter has made a career in creating songs within various genres, but this is her most rock-influenced one to date. Amber T describes the track as a perfect "sad girl winter anthem," and she is not lying. The song is chilly and emotional yet remains melodic with a fast tempo. The title uses the known phrase "Sugar and spice makes everything nice," and clearly turns it on its head. Amber T revamps the phrase in the chorus to say, "You're sugar and spice, but nothing feels nice now, no," about a toxic relationship. Her lyrics, such as, "I want to let go as soon as you get too close," come from a genuine emotional place describing the difficulty of cutting someone off, especially when they were once "sweet" in your life. "Sugar and Spice" implements a rock sound and emotionally charged lyrics to create a vibrant, angsty relationship ballad.
The track is dynamic, layered, and fun. For the first few seconds, a graceful violin sting sweeps in. The track sounds whimsical and light, as if it is from a Disney movie. This is only to hit hard immediately with the real instrumentation of guitars and drums. This juxtaposition, used in other pop-punk and rock-pop anthems like Olivia Rodrigo's "Brutal," creates a sonic experience for the listener while also just being fun. Amber T takes sounds from wailing electric guitars to a driving drum beat to create a melodic, alternative pop song that is perfect for rocking out in the car. Her lower, smokey vocals fit this genre's sounds perfectly as well. "Sugar and Spice" is a wonderful pop-rock fusion that Amber T will hopefully continue to create in the future.
