Building her own empire from the ground up, Ashlie
Amber no longer identifies as a country artist— she is Country Vogue; it's not a genre, it's a lifestyle. American Songwriter offered their praise, stating, "The fact that

Amber is courageously and shamelessly embracing the full magnitude of her artistry, and her faith in her Country Vogue sub-culture is contagious. In their announcement of "Those Nights," Forbes noted, "With sultry vocals, R&B influenced beats and country storytelling,
Amber is well on her way to making a mark within the country genre" (Forbes/Annie Reuter).
"Nashville and the country music community have truly welcomed me with open arms," she reveals. "Country music isn't defined by the banjos and the fiddles; it's about being authentic, to your core. If I pretended to be anyone other than myself, I can't imagine I'd still be standing here today."
