Amanda's personal reflection after the shoot:
"As I spent the day filming with this amazing crew for our next visual masterpiece at the beautiful Hayloft in Saskatoon, we chatted as we worked about what it truly means to be an artist in today’s world. An artist that follows their own heart, marches to the beat of their “own drum” & expresses themselves in the most unique & authentic ways.
PRESS RELEASE:
Canadian Inspirational Country Artist Amanda Hagel is thrilled to announce her second single release of 2025, an incredibly beautiful song titled “The Believer” that Amanda felt deeply inspired to release through this holiday season.
Her enchanting delivery and poignant vocals elevate the song, offering listeners a deeply moving experience as she calls her audience to prayer. The inspiration to write The Believer came from after an experience Amanda had answering a question posed during an online magazine interview where she was asked the very question posed in the first verse of the song. The answer is delivered in the chorus and as Amanda is known for her introspective artistry and a creative process that is guided by heartfelt inspiration, the message of the song is not only heard but profoundly felt. For Amanda, the thought of seeing a movement of love through prayer coming to life through her music and this song, is so powerful and speaks to the kind of artist Amanda is. An artist moved by the hands of spirit, called in service to the world.

NASHVILLE, TENN. – Inspirational country artist Amanda Hagel pays tribute to her musical roots with a timeless rendition of John Denver’s Country Roads. Now available on all major digital streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, her heartfelt interpretation of this iconic classic is also accompanied by a performance video (see below).
This highly anticipated special remake is already gaining momentum on Canadian Country Radio, offering a beautifully haunting and soulful take on the beloved song. The song was produced by JUNO Award recipient Hal Schrenk at Big Bang Studios in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, who enlisted an incredible cast of musicians across Canada and the United States. The result is a lush instrumentation in a refreshing arrangement. “Once we recorded Amanda’s voice in the demo session, I knew we needed to build the instrumentation around her voice,” said Schrenk.
It's been a couple years since Amanda's last concert series & she has been waiting patiently to announce the beginning of this tour with two shows coming to central and southern Saskatchewan this spring! The theme, "These Roots - Take Me Home Country Roads Tour" has very special meaning for Amanda and promises to be an incredible evening of music filled with the melodic roots of Country, Folk & Americana.
Amanda has been busy in the studio and on set these last few months working on new music and video releases for 2025. The first song set to be released in early spring, is a special remake of a folk/country classic that Amanda has been patiently waiting to record and release for the last couple of years. Amanda teamed up with Producer Hal Schrenk (to Amanda's immediate right in photo) to remake a song that is near and dear to many music lovers' hearts.
