This Is The Life, the sizzling debut from young Scottish singer songwriter Amy Macdonald is a superb collection of eleven original compositions, all of which have hit single potential, all killers, no fillers.
Still in her late teens, Amy displays a song writing maturity way beyond her years, one of those artistes that just simply have a natural talent for writing a great song and also having the ability to deliver the song perfectly, both live and recorded.
The album opens with Mr Rock And Roll, a great opener on the theme of the life of someone who thinks they are someone they're not, along with a gutsy vocal delivery and backing from some seriously talented young musicians and what we have is a masterpiece.
Along with the following and title track This Is The Life and you have two tracks that were to become hit singles all over the world. It doesn't stop there, tracks such as my personal favourite Lets Start A Band, L.A. and Barrowland Ballroom display her unique vocal delivery and a rocking beat that will make you hit the repeat button over and over again.
This Is The Life by Amy Macdonald is proof that a very young singer songwriter has the ability to take on the best the world has to offer in the music business. Quite simply, a stunning album. ~ James Soars
