People would often point out her resemblance to Selena. “My traditional roots are still there, with a little twist.”Įven with “Kiebra la Bota” now at digital platforms, Solis still can’t believe it’s happening.
Let me show you who Amanda is and do something different,” Solis says. I’m already being someone else as Selena. And it’s unlike anything currently on radio. It’s an exciting, bilingual mashup that moves forward genres that have desperately needed the push for a long time. They worked for several months to develop Solis’ own sound, dubbed "cumbia-Americano," a savvy blend of Tejano and regional Mexican rhythms with contemporary flourishes.

It’s a fusion that’s also championed by Houston collective Bombón.

She’s inspired me and paved the way in many different ways.” “I’ve been paying tribute to Selena for so long. “I was just excited alone to be working on my music as Amanda,” Solis says. The lyrics namecheck Houston and Piedras Negras, Mexico, where Solis’ parents were born. She just released her first original single, “Kiebra la Bota,” a party anthem in the style of zapateado, a Mexican dance characterized by continuous foot stomping around a dance floor.
