EDMNOMAD Exclusive — A wild heart beats fiercely, unfazed by life’s storms. This summer, Amba Shepherd returns with her highly anticipated solo single, “Wild Hearts,” out on July 26th.
Known for her powerful vocals in chart-topping hits like “Apollo” with Hardwell, Shepherd speaks exclusively with EDMNOMAD on the debut of her latest track.

Amba Shepherd Rises from Adversity, Brings Life to Wild Hearts
“All my songs are about my perspective on life, and ‘Wild Hearts’ is no different,” Shepherd shares. The song was born out of a challenging period, embodying her determination to rise above.
“I started writing this song to capture the way I felt about a really stressful situation I was going through, a few years ago. I wanted this song to say: My heart is bigger than this!”
The production journey of “Wild Hearts” highlights Shepherd’s unwavering dedication and creativity. Initially conceived as a collaboration with Jeff Sutorious (Dash Berlin), the song evolved into a deeply personal project.
Shepherd recalls, “At the time, Jeff had a similar lyric on a finished record with ‘Bright Lights’. I kept working on it by myself and completed the ‘Wild Hearts’ vocal. Then earlier this year, I connected with one of my favorite producers. He sent me this amazing track, and it was the perfect fit. The energy was incredible, and I loved it… ‘Wild Hearts’ was finally finished.”

“After seeing some of the incredible Tomorrowland sets last weekend, there is an amazing melting pot of old and new being played at the moment. There is a major nostalgia factor I am hearing. It gives the EDM scene a really established feel compared to 10 years ago. Hearing classic tunes reinvented is so inspiring for me.”

When discussing her dream collaborations, Shepherd’s admiration for three particular artists shines through: “I would love to work with Anyma, their beautiful melodic music is simply moving. Calvin Harris is another dream collaborator for me; he nails everything from vibe to structure, simplicity to hooks, vocals to production, and songwriting every time. He always does it one better than his last, which is super impressive. And of course Deadmau5, the genius is real.”
