Eric Hutchinson shines with a unique brand of pop-soul on his debut album, Sounds Like This. Although the charismatic singer/ songwriter has been favorably compared to his early idols (Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Paul Simon), one of the most remarkable things about Sounds Like This is the sheer breadth of musical styles that Hutchinson effortlessly encompasses.
Listen to “Rock & Roll”
The record was released on Hutchinson’s own label, Let’s Break Records, at the end of August 2007 and overnight it was breaking records. One of his buddies emailed celebrity blogger Perez Hilton a link to his MySpace page, and Hilton was immediately impressed, recommending the music on his site. Soon after, Sounds Like This was ensconced in iTunes’ Top 10 becoming the highest-charting album by an unsigned act in iTunes history.
Since then, the self-described student of pop signed to Warner Bros. Records, toured with One Republic, released the undeniably catchy single “Rock & Roll,” snagged a spot on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Soundtrack, and recently became one of VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists. Hutchinson takes pride in the raw, vintage vibe of Sounds Like This: “I tried really hard to keep it organic,” he says. “Music is human expression and what’s more human than to make a mistake? So to record something and then take out all the mistakes leaves the project with no soul to it.” With ska-inflected grooves, jazzy melodies and vocals that veer from a gritty growl to a shimmering falsetto, Sounds Like This might just be the most soulful thing you’ve heard all year.

Amy’s new album This Is The Life hits stores August 19th
She’s humble, thoughtful, and not one for mindless chatter. She’d sooner talk about her favorite bands and songwriters, about football and films, than about herself.
But put Amy Macdonald on stage with a guitar in her hands, let loose her rich, bell-clear voice on a brace of superb original songs-and the self-effacing 20-year-old with the pale skin and wide blue eyes is revealed as a compelling performer possessed of formidable musical gifts.
Take a listen to her single “Mr. Rock & Roll”
Her Decca Universal debut album, This Is The Life, is equally impressive. On each of its eleven tracks, Amy’s own acoustic guitar patterns form the foundation for the beautifully de¬tailed arrangements created by producer Pete Wilkinson and mixed to perfection by Bob Clearmountain. The result is a seamless set of contemporary folk-flavored pop-rock with a warmly natural sound and free of hip-hop affectations. Amy’s melodies are incredibly catchy-the quality that has made “Run,” “This Is The Life,” and “Mr. Rock & Roll” into international radio favorites-but her lyrics sometimes hint at a darker, edgier under¬current.
“Footballer’s Wife” ponders the devaluation of celebrity, from James Dean and Marilyn Monroe to today’s reality-show wanna-bes; “Poison Prince” is a sharp-eyed ‘look at the high-wire act of Pete Doherty (of Libertines and Babyshambles), one of Amy’s earliest and most important musical inspirations. “Youth of Today” is a challenge to older gen¬erations, firm and clear-eyed without being self-righteous-Amy’s version of “The Times They Are A-Changin’” or “My Generation.”
This Is The Life began moving up the British chart soon after its initial release in July 2007. The album reached Number One on January 13, 2008, knocking Radiohead’s In Rainbows out of the top slot. To date, This Is The Life has sold more than 700,000 copies in the UK (double platinum) and over one million worldwide, mak¬ing Amy Macdonald the biggest-selling female British artist to emerge last year. Thus far, her album has reached Number One in the UK, Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands and cracked the Top 20 in Germany, Ireland, Austria, Belgium and Greece.
Back in the USA, the excitement has proven contagious. In April 2008, Amy arrived in the States for debut club appearances in Boston and New York. Her 4/28 performance at Great Scott in Boston prompted The Boston Globe to hail Amy Macdonald as “a 20-year-old lass with a guitar, a strong will, thick eyeliner, and a voice that snaps you to attention.We give her a year before she’s headlining the Orpheum [Theater].”
