Fueled by a desire that is indescribable and a passion for country music that spans her lifetime, Lancer Saskatchewan’s Amanda Hagel, has dared to answer the call and live the life she was created for. Amanda is kicking off the new year with her highly anticipated new single “If I Had to Stop Loving You”. The song delivers a big sound along with an emotional vocal performance and powerful lyrics that speak of Amanda’s personal journey. With unconditional love and a strong faith Amanda overcame challenges faced in her own relationship. Amanda hopes this message will resonate with couples facing difficulties.

After two successful radio releases for “Back Seat Everything” and “Before We Call it a Night” Amanda is releasing the third single from her album Rush titled “Come on Say it Again”. The song speaks of how during the initial stages of new relationship couples have no trouble letting each other know on a regular and frequent basis how much they like one another. Each will do and say anything just to make the other person happy. As most of us know once a few years go by these specific “languages of love” seem to dissipate. 

After a successful release of her first single “Back Seat Everything” to radio in January, Amanda has released her second official single to Canadian Country Radio. The song’s release has come shortly after it was voted in as a top 23 National Finalist in the CBC Hunt for Canada’s Best New Artist Contest!

As a special video release for Mother’s Day, Amanda is excited to share a video clip from her album release party. In an emotional performance, Amanda accompanied by two of her amazingly talented sisters performed the song “This Prayer”live for the first time. Here’s a closer look at Amanda’s inspiration for writing the song:

Amanda took part in the CBC Radio Searchlight Hunt for Canada’s Best New Music Artist Contest 2015! The contest started with 3,333 participants across Canada and Amanda was voted in by her fans and supporters as a top 23 finalist.  Amanda was so proud and humbled to have been voted in as the Saskatchewan Regional Winner!
