Published on Aug 11, 2019 New Light - Amy Lawton (Lyric video):
Jess at Fierce Fabulous Revolution wrote: This soulful ballad highlights the sweet & delicate textures behind Amy’s feel-good voice, which enables you to feel a personal connection from the first listen. The creativeness behind Amy’s distinctive musical style gets the chance to take centre stage for the full duration of this release, by giving us the chance to see the emotive nature behind this gifted artist. I believe that this single has given Amy the opportunity to express her individuality as an artist & help to pave the way for a very bright & promising career.
Me losing my mind that New Light is a song I’ve been keeping to myself for so long and now it’s actually out and people can listen to it!!!! Thank you so much if you have 💜 https://t.co/fjwTEF3SMM pic.twitter.com/TnS4csPrcS— Amy Lawton (@amylawtonmusic) August 12, 2019
Highly sought after for her melodic and lyrical abilities, country singer songwriter Amy Lawton returned with ‘New Light’ on August 9th via Universal. Having shared the stage with Jack Savoretti and received support from BBC Radio 2, The Times and Deezer UK, Amy Lawton shows no sign of stopping.
While writing for artists such as Sarah Darling, whose album ‘Wonderland’ went to Number 1 in
the UK Country Charts; Amy has been releasing her own music
to an ever-growing fanbase. Having been described as “Sweet country pop right out of Taylor Swift’s
Speak Now era” by The Times, Amy is a burgeoning
name on the UK live scene. Having just completed her first ever regional tour where she played 19-dates
across the country, Amy recently performed at The Great Escape Festival and
supported Jack Savoretti at Cadogan Hall.
Amy worked alongside multi-platinum writer/producer Matty
Benbrook for ‘New
Light’. When asked about the track, Amy stated, “New Light
is a song I wrote about when you look at someone you’ve known forever but it’s
like you’re seeing them for the first time”.
While still fresh-faced, Amy comes armed with sharpened experience
well beyond her years and is proving herself to be an
exciting new name on the singer/songwriter scene.

ABOUT
Amy
Lawton
is a fresh-faced 20yr old Country/Rock artist and songwriter from Manchester,
now based in London.
She
has written rhymes, poems and short stories since she could hold a pen and has
been crafting these ideas into song over the past 18months with renowned
writer/producer Matty Benbrook (Dido, Paolo Nutini, Jack Savoretti).
Amy’s
skill with wordplay and pop melody can be heard perfectly in the first single
to emerge from Matty’s studio, Undone, which was released in
September 2017. Her innocent-yet-knowing vocals are the perfect foil to the
biting lyricism, reminiscent of artists such as Alanis Morrisette, Suzanne Vega
or County-era Taylor Swift. The release received widespread critical acclaim
with support from 1883 and Celeb-Mix, landing on multiple Deezer playlists,
radio play on BBC Introducing London and Amazing Radio, and a TV
appearance with London Live. National coffee chain Caffe Nero also lent
their support with in-store playlisting and showcase opportunities.
Amy
has been steadily developing her live show with performances at many of
London’s iconic venues such as The Troubadour, The Bedford, The Social and
Ronnie Scott’s. This proved good grounding for her biggest show to date;
opening for Jack Savoretti to 1,000 people at London’s Cadogan Hall.
Writing
together with the likes of Dee Adam (Diana Vickers, Newton Faulkner), Jess
Sharman (Ward Thomas), Pam Sheyne (Corinne Bailey Rae), Paul Herman (Dido) and
of course Matty Benbrook, Amy is quickly honing her craft on and off stage.
Amy’s
sophomore single was the upbeat Country-Pop love song ‘Hurts Like
Paradise’, which dropped on May 11, 2018 on Paradise Records/AWAL. Like
‘Undone’, it was produced by Matty Benbrook at his East London studio, Studio
45. Amy shared: “’Hurts Like Paradise' is a song I started writing back at
school. It's kind of a story about a relationship from start to finish, only
it's told from the perspective of someone who feels like they're an outsider. I
like that there are details in the song which show this character as they talk
about their experiences. Even though it's a sad song, I like to mix sad lyrics
with upbeat sounds.”
“The
new song showcased Amy’s incredible talent and declares that she has a
promising future.” - 1883 Magazine
Single ‘Don’t Bring Louise’ release
Nov 30, 2018 was a song
depicting one of heartfelt unrequited love, featured beautiful harmonies among
its sincere country pop.
“We
can’t wait to see how Amy continues to grow in the future!” - Celeb Mix
