Critically adored multi-hyphenate talent Amber Mark announces a series of arena dates as support on Sabrina Carpenter’s ongoing Short n’ Sweet Tour this fall. The acclaimed tour’s second North American leg launches October 23 and includes three-night runs at both Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, plus stops at iconic venues in Pittsburgh, Nashville, and Toronto. Pre-sales kick off Tuesday, March 4, at 10 a.m. local time, while general on-sale begins Friday, March 7, at 10 a.m. local HERE.
The announcement follows the recent release of Mark’s Loosies EP, a free-wheeling set of dance, pop, soul, disco, and R&B meant to hold fans over while they eagerly await the singer, songwriter, and producer’s third album. Recorded largely at her cozy home studio, the short but sultry collection feels designed to soundtrack sleepless nights full of free-spirited fun. Familiar Mark collaborators pitched in, including John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Afterhrs, Two Fresh, Steph Jones, and Liza Owen. Stream Loosies HERE via PMR / Interscope Records.
Featuring songs like the playful and seductive “Wait So Yeah,” blissful disco track “Won’t Cry” and “Sink In” — which combines jazz piano, Jersey club, and a cameo from her cat Moosh — Loosies racked up fan and critic love alike. The New York Times included “Wait So Yeah” in their The Playlist weekly best-of feature (and Spotify playlist). Wonderland noted that “the project is bursting with standout moments [as] Amber delivers a dazzling showcase of her boundless creativity and undeniable artistry.” And The Fader rightly observed that “if Loosies was meant to quell the impatience of waiting for Mark’s next record, I’m afraid it’s only done the opposite.”
Mark expanded her already genre-less sonic universe across 2024, unveiling her bold new era bit by bit starting with standalone songs “Space & Time,” which begins with the poise of a torch song before turning into a futuristic global dance cut, and “Comin’ Around Again,” a slinky, pop-kissed soul anthem that stirs up decades of rhythm and blues. She also dropped her version of “Lovely Day,” the first cover of the Bill Withers classic sanctioned by his estate.
Mark’s in-progress next album will be her first since 2022’s Three Dimensions Deep, which received near-universal praise including rave reviews from NPR, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork, among others. With a massive tour on the horizon, time will tell what she has in store for 2025.
