Concierto ofrecido por la cantante y compositora escocesa este pasado mes de febrero en Madrid para presentar en directo su segundo álbum A curious thing y grabado en exclusiva por 40TV.

íšltimamente el pop tiene nombre de mujer; las mujeres destacan y se llevan la palma, desde luego. Y entre esta nueva e interesante cantera está Amy MacDonald, a la que conocimos en España el año pasado gracias a canciones como This is the life. Llegó a nuestro paí­s avalada por el íéxito de crí­tica y público de su paí­s, pero el flechazo fue instantáneo. Amy MacDonald tiene talento y, con este nuevo disco publicado el 8 de marzo ha demostrado que no será nunca flor de un dí­a o mujer de un solo íéxito.

En el poco tiempo que ha pasado entre disco y disco, Amy ha madurado a marchas forzadas y ha crecido espectacularmente, como lo demuestran canciones tan impecables como su íéxito actual Don't tell me that it's over. í‰ste y otros temas nuevos, más lo mejor de su repertorio pasado, podremos disfrutar en este concierto donde Amy, acompañada de su inseparable guitarra, brilla con luz propia. Todo un lujo que demuestra de quíé pasta está hecha esta tí­mida y, aparentemente, frágil mujer.

Jueve 1 a las 12:00

We can now announce that Amy is all set to play V Festival this year.

She will be playing the Channel 4 stage at the festival when it kicks off this summer.

You can see Amy at Stafford on 21st August and at Chelmsford on 22nd August.

For more info see www.vfestival.com

Tambiíén sale a la venta el segundo de la escocesa, Amy MacDonald. Despuíés del rotundo íéxito mundial con This is the life, con el que llegó a ser Disco de Platino en 12 paí­ses, la cantante y compositora no lo tiene nada fácil. Pero con esta segunda apuesta, A curious thing, se nota un sonido más evolucionado y las temáticas de sus canciones viran desde la muerte de Michael Jackson y sus abuelos, su novio a la inspiración producida por un documental del asesinato de un niño o la fama.

[Serena]

Los que abogaban por que This is the life serí­a un íéxito fugaz de una artista que pronto desaparecerí­a se equivocaron. Amy Macdonald está construyendo el trampolí­n de su carrera, y lo hace con Don't tell me that it's over, el tema que presenta su último disco A Curious Thing, que ya tiene como seguidores de excelencia a U2.


Su álbum díébut This Is The Life vendió 5 millones de discos en el mundo, de los que 50.000 se despacharon en nuestro paí­s, consiguiendo así­ Disco de Oro. Su canción This is the life fue número 1 en ventas y ahora vuelve para repetirlo con Don't tell me that it's over, el primer sencillo de A Curious Thing.

A Curious Thing, así­ se llama el último trabajo de Amy Macdonald cuyo lanzamiento está anunciado para hoy 9 de marzo. Para este disco, Amy ha contado con la colaboración de Paul Weller y además, el disco está grabado en los estudios de íéste, Black Barn Studios, situados en Ripley, Surrey (Reino Unido).

Bono Fan Number One
Los integrantes de U2 no podí­an esperar y ya se han declarado fans de Amy Macdonald. "Conocí­ a U2, me enviaron una carta a mi camerino, estábamos en una entrega de premios. Decí­a: 'A Amy, ven a saludar a tu club de fans" ¡y fue firmado por todos los chicos de U2! yo estaba como 'Wow'. Todaví­a tengo la carta, la tengo enmarcada".

Es difí­cil que una artista debutante reciba la venia de uno de los grupos más importantes de rock. Por eso, Amy Macdonald no dudó en aceptar su invitación. "Yo estaba allí­ en el camerino, Bono me estaba sirviendo un vaso de vino y tení­amos una conversación sobre mis ví­deos - sabí­an todo sobre mi música, yo no me lo podí­a creer. No podí­a esperar a salir de allí­ para decí­rselo a todos - era como, 'Sí­, bien, puedo salir de aquí­ ahora mismo y ¿llamar a mi madre? ".

Amy Macdonald se ha convertido en la sensación adolescente en Reino Unido y promete robar los corazones de los más jóvenes con su actuación en Rock in Rio-Madrid el próximo 6 de junio. Amy consiguió posicionarse en lo más alto con su disco debut publicado en 2007, This Is The Life. Con este trabajo bajo el brazo, ganó el Premio a Mejor Artista Novel en los galardones Echo en Alemania, donde competí­a con Duffy, alcanzó cinco discos de platino en Suiza, el single, This Is The Life, fue número uno en diez paí­ses y arrebató el número uno en Gran Bretaña a Radiohead en enero de 2008.

Con este comienzo de pelí­cula, Amy Macdonald ha pasado de ser una adolescente escocesa desconocida que cantaba y componí­a en su casa a convertirse en una estrella internacional. Ahora acapara portadas de revista y se ha recorrido los escenarios de toda Europa. En este estado de gracia ha compuesto su segundo trabajo, A Curious Thing, el cual cuenta además con dos colaboraciones de lujo a cargo del gran Paul Weller. El disco lo ha compuesto í­ntegramente en el pequeño estudio que su manager y productor, Pete Wilkinson, tiene en su casa de Surrey, a pocos kilómetros de Glasgow.

Cuando Amy cogió por primera vez una guitarra con 15 años, Everybody Hurts de R.E.M. o Mad World de Tears For Fears fueron de las primeras canciones elegidas para experimentar con el instrumento. Los discos de Travis y los conciertos de Pete Doherty acabaron por convencer a la joven compositora de que esa era la vida que querí­a llevar.

Rock in Rio-Madrid piensa tambiíén en los jóvenes y apuesta por uno de los artistas favoritos de los más pequeños confirmando así­ que la oferta de ocio y entretenimiento del festival es para disfrute de todos los públicos. Amy Macdonald promete derrochar toda su energí­a juvenil además de dar una lección de buen hacer a los que piensan que los jóvenes tienen mucho camino que recorrer.

[Serena]

There’s great news for me this week as A Curious Thing has just moved from #3 to #1 on the pan-European sales chart.

This is an amazing achievement for Amy and she is thrilled with the news. Thank you to everyone who has bought the album, she couldn’t have done it without you.

Amy MacDonald has been down to Bournemouth a few times to visit the in-laws, but this was the first time she has played in the town.

It turns out that not only is she a vision of loveliness and a very talented musician, she is also a very popular lady, playing to a near capacity O2 Academy to round off the long Easter weekend.

Kicking things off with An Ordinary Life, the 22-year-old looked resplendent dressed in reflective, glittery black – literally nearly blinding us with her beauty.

She was joined on stage by lead guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, treating her fans to the full band experience, occasionally taking centre stage alone for acoustic numbers.

The hour and a half involved more guitar changes than GaGa has costume changes, with probably her biggest hit to date, Mr Rock And Roll, being slipped into the middle of the set followed by an acoustic version of Bruce Springsteen’s Born To Run.

Amy enjoyed conversing with the crowd and still managed to retain her unfaltering “niceness” when dealing with a couple of over-enthusiastic fans, asking them very nicely to “zip it” as quite a few people had come to hear her sing and not them shout.

Amy also excelled at playing the comedian, sharing amusing anecdotes about her life on tour, the recording of her new album, Curiosity, and that she and the band had fish and chips for dinner to celebrate being by the seaside.

The evening was brought to a close with the title track off debut album, This Is The Life. She promised to come back soon, and not just to visit the Lovells.
