Full review
A good easy listening album perfect listening for a lazy afternoon. Amy Macdonald is a Scottish 19 year old with an amazing talent for singing and song writing.
This is her first album and includes the songs Mr rock and roll and This is the life which are the two most recognisable songs on the album but also includes the titles Poison prince, Youth of today, Run, Lets start a band, Barrowland ballroom, L.A, A wish for something more, footballers wife and The road to home.
Her lyrics are very meaningful, each with a clear message that make you think. The youth of today is a song that I think many young people would relate to. Her voice reminds me a little of KT Tunstal but that might just have something to do with them both being Scottish.
My boyfriend even bought this album and he hardly ever buys cds so she must have had an impression on him. Highly recommended.
