About
From the artful storytelling of urban folk-rock to the pulsing rhythms and languid beauty of trip-hop, the music of English-born singer-songwriter Amanda Thorpe is never easy to pigeonhole (though it tends to lodge snugly in the subconscious).
While staying true to her strong sense of melody, Amanda writes smart, often intensely personal songs whose roots in folk and jazz subtly challenge our expectations of familiar forms. Which is not surprising, considering Amanda's background as a classically trained musician and influences as diverse as haunted British pop poet, Nick Drake, and the sultry Francois Hardy, to guitar god and word smith Richard Thompson, the Velvet Underground and Blondie.
