Pretty Armor
The Music of Amber Brown
The Armor Was Always The Pretty Part
Pretty Armor is the music of Amber Brown — a fictional character from Jason Curlee's Beyond the Goalposts series, imagined as the singer-songwriter she might have grown up to become. Ten songs of 1980s arena rock with a Texas country backbone, written and created by Jason Curlee with AI-assisted production. Amber Brown is a character, not a real recording artist. These are her songs, in her voice.
Ten songs from Amber Brown. Small-town Texas, big '80s choruses, and a country-rock backbone. She spent years being the girl who had it all together. These are the songs she wrote when she stopped pretending.
