AMBER LAWRENCE SADDLES UP WITH EMPOWERING NEW SINGLE ‘ THAT ’ S COWGIRL TO ME ’ SINGLE OUT NOW
Amber Lawrence has never fit the mould – and she wouldn ’ t have it any other way. With her anthemic new single ‘ That ’ s Cowgirl To Me ’ , the 6x Golden Guitar winner – and recent host of the 2026 awards – celebrates the grit, grind and guts that have fuelled her 20-year career.Built on big, washy synths, lonesome guitars and Amber ’ s soaring vocal, ‘ That ’ s Cowgirl To Me ’ plays like the end-credits scene of a modern Western – expansive, bold and unapologetic. “ I am the boss of my own wild frontier,” belts the honey-toned singer in a moment that feels both cinematic and defiantly personal.At its core, the song is Amber ’ s story. Raised in Mascot, Sydney – far from red dirt roads and rodeo arenas – she was never the obvious country star. But what she lacked in postcode, she made up for in attitude.“ That ’ s Cowgirl To Me is the story of my 20-year career in music – the hard work, the grind, and the self-belief that built my music career,” shares Amber. “ It ’ s the cowgirl attitude of taking my own route, my own rules that built my career.”Co-written with long-time collaborator Melanie Dyer , the song captures Amber at her most self-aware and fired up. “ I love that she really understands who I am as an artist. We always write well together. I came to Mel with this idea that I ’ m a Cowgirl by any other name, and we wrote this song.”In the studio, maestro producer Matt Fell ( Troy Cassar Daley, Fanny Lumsden), helped dial in the cowgirl vibes in unexpected ways. “ Matt heard me whistle on the demo as a kind of example of how the guitar solo could work and decided that the whistle would be a key feature of the song.” The result is a track that feels earned – it ’ s a declaration from an artist who has wrangled every dream the hard way.Amber ’ s momentum off the stage mirrors the fire in the song. In early 2026 she hosted the Golden Guitar Awards alongside Casey Barnes to critical acclaim, further cementing her place as one of the most respected voices in Australian country. A 6x Golden Guitar winner – including Female Artist of the Year in 2015 and 2023 – she is also currently nominated for CountryTown Female Artist of the Year.Over the past two years, she has clocked up more than 80 shows nationwide on her ‘ You Can Admit You Like Country Music ’ Tour, lighting up stages at Deni Ute Muster, Gympie Muster and Texas Country Music Festival along the way. Whether fronting her band to massive crowds or delivering intimate acoustic sets, her work ethic remains unmatched.Across two decades, 7 studio albums and 3 children ’ s records , Amber has earned 2 ARIA nominations and was the highest-selling female country artist of 2023. Her career hasn ’ t been built on shortcuts, but on self-belief – the very heartbeat of ‘ That ’ s Cowgirl To Me ’ , which also sets the tone for her highly anticipated eighth studio album, due later this year.On this single, Amber Lawrence redefines the word cowgirl. Not as a postcode or a stereotype, but as a mindset. And if the past 20 years are anything to go by, the trail she ’ s blazing next will be bigger, louder and entirely on her own terms.
