SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: AMELIA DAY – EGO TRIP

Amelia Day

AMELIA DAY
EGO TRIP
INDEPENDENT

It is true that the number of artists covering that currently popular ground between Americana and pop/rock. Yet the key there is how distinctive their music is – whether they separate themselves from the rest and whether they come up with enough individual elements to separate themselves from the rest. A hard task that gets even harder if you go the independent (self-releasing) way.

Singer songwriter Amelia Day can easily paste her photo along with everything that is described above – her music is right in the center of that now ever-popular sub-genre, and she is doing it all by herself with her latest 7-song EP, Ego Trip.

She knows best what the title relates to, but on the evidence of her songs here, there’s no ego trip involved on her part here – she can produce some solid, very good songwriting and has a gritty full-range voice that can do her songs justice and with some equally high-quality backing, she has come up with a set of songs that can not only make her proud, but also fully propel her further career.
