Amy Studt's Second Album 'My Paper Made Men' (19 Recordings 2008)

“Rude double-entendres and ruthless memorability of tune make you want to take that rough ride with her again and again.” MOJO

“Chasing the light’ is a full-blooded epic which bristles with emotion...” All Gigs.com

“Positively incandescent torch-singing Londoner with a hair-raising emotional range that varies from cut-glass fragility to cat-o’-nine-tails avenger.” LA Times

“Amy Studts’ first new music in four years possesses a wilting understated charm that strikes an emotional impact.” Music Week

“Musically it should keep Kate Bush fans happy, Sad Sad World would sit well on a PJ Harvey album and She Walks Beautiful echoes soul-searching female singers from Fiona Apple to Tori Amos.” Sunday Times

My Paper Made Men

Chasing The Light

Sleepwalker was written during the London riots. It’s about panic attacks, being lost in a city, madness both inside me and all around me. About when the high of mania crashes and the black of depression descends on you. But it’s also about finding someone and it being OK in that moment: being lost with somebody. There were ‘natural’ moments we enjoyed keeping in, like the sound of the room in the microphone; not over-editing to make everything perfect and melodined / autotuned like the rest of the record. Always mindful to keep the life, the reality and the breath in.

“This is the work of an artist genuinely using their chosen medium to explore and make sense of their life experience. There’s certainly nothing glamorising suffering here”.  Aural Aggravation

Haunting cinematic pop that recalls the drama of the late Scott Walker, the new long player is a narrative diary of depression, hope and redemption and is without doubt one of the most personal and innovative collection of songs that is likely to surface this year.

“Studt’s always had an exceptional voice and she blows us away with her control and heartfelt emotion with a pure raw vocal which sounds beyond beautiful”.   Celeb Mix
