KINGDOM, the third studio album by Amanda Fish, was written over a six year gap and is heavily influenced by the events of the pandemic, riots, and government corruption, seen through the eyes of a new parent and frontline healthcare worker. A journey of faith, redemption, and hope against a backdrop of chaos and upheaval, KINGDOM returns time and again to its message of truth and love. 

KINGDOM features a core group of musicians including Terry Midkiff, Dom Knott, Dylan Farrell, Glen James, and Paul Niehaus IV, along with friends Mama Moo, Billie Baumann, Bob Walther, the audience of the Augusta Ramble chipping in on additional percussion and vocals, and guest performances by Billy Evanochko, Jeremiah Johnson, and Richard Rosenblatt, the album was recorded and mixed by Paul Niehaus IV at Blue Lotus Studio in St Louis, mastered by Chris Latham at Gorilla’s Nest in Nashville, and it features ten all-original new songs written and sung by Amanda with her trademark power and grace.

ABOUT THE VIDEOS

"Mockingbird"

The album’s first single, “Mockingbird” is about Operation Mockingbird, the CIA operation begun during the Cold War which sought to disseminate disinformation and propaganda through domestic American news media organizations to influence public opinion. The song alleges that while the Operation was said to have ended after Vietnam, the practice of waging psychological warfare through government/media collusion appears to be alive and well today.

"Kingdom"

"This song is my testimony about my life before and after becoming saved, from a failed marriage, alcoholism/addiction, and suicidality, to seeing the light in the life of my Christian friends, a light which gradually drew me out of my darkness into the saving grace of Jesus."
