Scottish Singer/Songwriter Amy Papiransky returns with catchy new pop single “Summertime Blues" released on Friday, 4th June with support from BRIT and Ivor Novello Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter KT Tunstall and her Management team. 

KT says: ”Amy is a brilliant new Scottish female talent, it was a no-brainer for me to see what I could do to help her get closer to her dream of living life as a working musician; the very same dream I once had growing up in Scotland.” 

“Summertime Blues” follows the success of recent single “Dear Amy” which peaked at number 19 on the UK iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart, and had plays on BBC Radio Scotland, Soho Radio and Amazing Radio. The music video features on Vevo’s ‘Pure Pop Playlist’. 

Heartfelt, reflective and melodious, “Summertime Blues” is about one of Amy’s best friends... 

“She is so strong and caring but when her partner is having a bad time he will often call off their relaIonship, leaving her feeling hurt, confused and insecure. The line “I should want the world to want me, not only you” is about her realising that even though she loves him deeply, she deserves to be treated with more care and respect.” says Amy. 

Amy has again teamed up with friend and regular collaborator - Angus Lyon - who produced and recorded her debut album - Read Me Write. “I had some studio recording time booked with Angus at Grans House Studio in Lamington.” says Amy. “I ended up wriIng “SummerIme Blues” the night before heading into the studio. Songwriting is the only aspect of my life where I thrive under pressure! We used a lot of samples and keyboard sounds on this track which was really fun, as I had never worked in this way before.”

As I Was A Wand'ring

“Recording this new song has been like a healing process for me in a certain way. I came up with the idea of writing a song to my younger self after hearing Tom Grennan’s poem on Radio 1. The poem is based on a letter he wrote to his younger self and I found it really emotional. I guess I related a lot to the idea due to certain things that happened in my childhood (which has 100 % shaped me into the person I am today). I am trying my best to keep the ball rolling with my music / song writing despite Covid and after a few conversations taking place this year I have really exciting plans set in place for 2021”.
