Today, critically adored singer, songwriter, and producer Amber Mark unveils the next thrilling taste of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Pretty Idea, with the release of her new single “Too Much.” The track, out now via PMR/Interscope Records, finds Mark embracing her love for classic R&B while offering a modern spin by interpolating Usher and Alicia Keys’ 2004 hit “My Boo.” Fans can stream “Too Much” [HERE] and pre-save Pretty Idea, arriving on October 10, 2025,
The sweetly romantic single captures the intensity of an on-again, off-again love, with Mark singing: “Is it too much if I’m thinking about you daily? / It isn’t too much, late night calling me up all wavy / Stop playing, you know I’m your favorite / Let’s not complicate it / Boy, you gotta say it isn’t too much.”
With production from KingJet (Teddy Swims, Mac Miller), Chase.wav (Khalid, Kiana Ledé), and Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams), the track layers grooving hip-hop beats with funky guitar while showcasing Mark’s rich vocals and 90s/00s-inspired stylings.
Pretty Idea and Tour Plans
Mark’s sophomore album Pretty Idea arrives just ahead of her joining the North American leg of Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour, which has added four sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden and six at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. The tour kicks off October 23 in Pittsburgh and will hit iconic venues in Nashville, Toronto, and more.
Amber recently described her new record in a heartfelt message to fans:
“This album carries many highs and lows and lessons I didn’t know I needed. So excited to finally share these songs with you. Consider this my way of turning all my bad ideas into Pretty ones.”
She has already teased the album with two standout singles:
-
“Sweet Serotonin” — a soulful throwback gem.
-
“Let Me Love You” — an energetic disco-funk cut praised by Stereogum as “a synthy, effervescent, bass-popping track that keeps Mark’s run of excellence going strong.”
The album will also feature collaborations with Anderson .Paak and John The Blind, further elevating its sound and global appeal.
Critical Reception & Career Momentum
Amber’s previous project, the Loosies EP, built anticipation for this release with tracks like “Wait So Yeah” and “Won’t Cry.” The New York Times spotlighted her inventive approach, while Wonderland praised her “boundless creativity and undeniable artistry.”
Her last full-length album, Three Dimensions Deep (2022), was celebrated as one of the year’s best by Variety and Billboard and earned an 8.0 score from Pitchfork. Since then, she has performed at Coachella, Outside Lands, and Pitchfork Festival, establishing herself as a magnetic live performer.
With over 750 million global streams to date and a fanbase that continues to grow across continents, Amber Mark is proving herself to be one of the most innovative and underrated pop-R&B artists of her generation.
