An extensive 17-track record, Three Dimensions Deep is the result of her personal and artistic endeavors and evolution.

RIOT

Amber Mark’s debut album chronicles her journey through insecurities, coping mechanisms and the reframing of life’s big questions.

Spectrum Culture
It leaves no room for debate that Mark is an exceptional vocalist, handling every song on the album by herself, while also writing and producing.

Beats Per Minute
The R&B/Soul/Bossa Nova-meshing artist hailing from Tennessee wields a gift to magnify both her and our worries, anxieties, shortcomings and dejected doubts of lost love; her pen excels in etching out the intricate wonders of the emotional spectrum in a way that shows an advanced progression of both musical and emotional maturation.

The Line of Best Fit

Three Dimensions Deep is an album that has helped Amber Mark to recover and find peace within herself. Yet somehow, it has potential to lend itself to anyone’s personal challenges, defining Mark as a force to be reckoned with.

Gigwise

Whether you have been on a pandemic-enforced journey of self-discovery or not, Three Dimensions Deep is a stunningly vulnerable and relatable collection of songs.

Paste

The record boasts club-ready bops and chill bangers that can please almost any aural palate. When you dig beneath the surface, though, Mark imparts universal wisdom and gives listeners a much-needed moment to appreciate ourselves.

DIY

Amber has created a soundtrack, as slick as velvet from start to finish, but without allowing for anything to stand out.

The Needle Drop

Loud and Quiet

Her long-awaited debut, Three Dimensions Deep, hits the beats you could expect. It often does so joyfully, and with a specificity of personal perspective that elevates its material.
