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

I think this may be the only song I didn’t record with Toby. I wrote it after a few overdose attempts and when I was finally placed in a psychiatric facility, which happened to have a piano in it, I wrote this song there during my recovery. Straight after Ieft hospital I flew back to New York and recorded it out there. It’s about isolation, being haunted by the past and the present, and being at the end. The “life in me” line was because when I made the last attempt I felt the life seeping out of me and out of the back door of my house up into the air and the night sky: that back door where I would sit and smoke and look at the night sky every night. I wanted to erase it all, everything that connected me to anyone. Every memory, every picture, and just disappear. It’s also about in that moment of finality: remembering the simplicity and beauty of the beginning of falling in love; feeling very alone and wishing you could go back and some kind of hope  pulls you back.

“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
