Amy Macdonald

About this product

Big, bold, and dramatic. Intimate, tender and touching. A Curious Thing is Amy Macdonald, full-voiced and rebooted and re-energised, with added hammering piano and a couple of guest spots from Paul Weller.

Months, miles, club shows, pub shows, halls, theatres, festivals, encores, second encores: through good old-fashioned gigging, word-of-mouth enthusiasm and constant, overwhelming radio play (notably for the internationally ubiquitous singles Mr Rock and Roll and This Is The Life), Amy Macdonald went from being an unknown teenage Scottish singer- songwriter to international star.

Being the ever- restless songwriter she’s been from her early teens, she’s alchemised those experiences into the sound of her second album, A Curious Thing. The album’s title, she explains, is taken from new song 'No Roots': “this life I lead, it’s a curious thing but I can’t deny the happiness it brings”. It’s a reflection on the strange turns her life has taken in the four years since she signed a record deal.
