Release Notes:
Amy MacDonald is a Scottish singer/songwriter from
Glasgow. Born on August 25, 1987, she studied social
sciences while attending university and, like many
teenagers, spent her days dreaming of pilgrimages to music
festivals such as T in the Park. Inspired by the
songwriting skills of Francis Healy, the 12-year-old
MacDonald picked up a guitar that had been left lying
around the house from her father's pop group days. She
taught herself the instrument by following "how to play
guitar" advice on the Internet rather than taking
structured lessons. With the desire to write songs as good
as Travis' best work, she began playing with a community
music group before graduating to solo shows in the local
area. The gigs featured MacDonald, her acoustic guitar,
and a set of cover songs including "Everybody Hurts" and a
slow version of "Mad World." Before long, her slew of
performances in local coffeehouses turned into a mini-tour
of Scotland, where she performed with Travis and fellow
Scot Paolo Nutini. Festival appearances followed,
including stints at Glastonbury, T in the Park, and V. She
secured a recording deal with Vertigo Records (part of the
Universal Music Group umbrella, and home to the Killers
and Razorlight) before issuing two singles: "Poison
Prince," a song about the tortured life of Pete Doherty
offered as a limited online-only release, and "Mr. Rock &
Roll," which finally launched MacDonald into the Top 20.
Her debut album, This Is the Life, was released at the end
of July 2007, where it climbed to number two during its
first week on the charts. Over the course of the next
year, This is The Life gained momentum -- thanks to the
hit title track it topped the the charts in several
European countriest -- establishing MacDonald as something
of a star. She began work on her sophomore effort in 2009,
delivering the finished A Curious Thing in March of 2010.
