Think loungey, sexy, morning after, theatrical, jazz- infused pop!

Flame-haired Sydney artist Amanda Easton releases ‘Chanteuse’ – the follow up to the self-titled debut which delivered two Top 10 indie chart (AIR chart) tunes and radio play nation-wide. It still features the contagious pop we’ve come to expect from Amanda, but this time it’s a bit more cabaret and features chilled-out electronic beats with a tinge of blues and jazz.  Resonant double-bass and emotive muted trumpets sit alongside electronic loops and electric guitars showcasing Amanda’s rich soaring vocals in a more emotional, mature second album.

The album was recorded at Leichhardt’s Love Hz studios, with producers Michael Carpenter and Matt Fell.

 

Perhaps best known as a ‘PopTart’, Amanda has performed with hundreds of different singer songwriters and bands at that weekly Sydney showcase night promoting original female-fronted music acts over the last six years.  She is also one of the most in-demand backing vocalists in Sydney, having toured regularly with Wendy Matthews and Richard Clapton, performed with Powderfinger and Candice Alley at the ARIA Awards and sung alongside artists such as Vanessa Amarosi, Marcia Hines and James Reyne.

 

‘Chanteuse’ is available now from record stores around Aus (you can ask to order it if it's not in stock) from download stores including iTunes everywhere, including right here.
