NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Amy Macdonald is at the forefront of a new generation of British musicians on her debut 'This is the Life' (August 19, Decca), combining "a traditional, acoustic folk-rock sound with a youthful spirit and self-assured lyrics that veer between the observational and the confessional," as one UK publication put it. The first single "Mr. Rock & Roll," sung in Amy's rich, bell-clear, gutsy vocals, tells the story of missed opportunity and broken hearts. Already a star abroad, Macdonald's debut album has achieved double platinum success in the UK and managed to dethrone Radiohead for the position of No 1 album on the charts.
