biographical info
Amy Wood's brand of refreshingly creative, soulful pop puts a new spin on what it is to be a singer-songwriter. Wood brings joyful folk and jazz influences together with raw conversational lyrics, and poignant simplicity to create the musical equivalent of the greatest conversation you've ever had with your best friend.
Cinnamon Heart is Amy Wood's long awaited second album following her self-titled debut album released in 2005. With half a decade of musical exploration under her belt, including classical and jazz studies and the bulk of a bachelor of music, Wood's material has taken on a fiercely confident musical direction. Her lyricism is sweet and honest, whimsical and smart. Listening to Cinnamon Heart you are reminded of the unique process of a singer-songwriter; to pull out your most inconvenient thoughts, your jagged feelings and ring them into a melody that can hold their weight. Wood's sparse ballad 'Long After We Part' leaves you feeling like you've stumbled upon a private conversation between a past couple and yet it is so universal you'll probably think she wrote it about you. From the youthful, upbeat 'Where Do Your Songs Come From' to the intensely creative title track, Amy Wood has proven herself as a versatile songwriter with the vocal tone and pianistic prowess to keep her on your musical radar 'long after we part'.
