- Miranda Lambert’s new album, PLATINUM, will be released
on June 3. She wrote or co-wrote eight songs and chose the others
based on how they reflected her personality or world view. The first
single, "Automatic," suggests returning to a slower time and way
of thinking. She contemplates her self-image in "Bathroom

up with several guests on songs that underscore her range and willingness
to experiment. The collaboration with Carrie Underwood on "Something
Bad" brings together two of country's most popular stars. (Source Associated Press)

"Goodbye Tonight"
- I think you're going to enjoy it - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Beautiful Pop/ Americana
Raised In Virginia, and
based in Nashville, Amelia White cut
her musical teeth in the New England area, in the same scene that produced Mary
Gauthier, Lori McKenna, and Aimee Mann.
"The songs come out of
me hard and heavy-- regularly. They walk the line between Neo Folk, raw well
made rock, and rootsy pop. They have a lot of heart, and a good dose of
intellect, and every few songs have a political and social
consciousness....sometimes you have to listen twice to get em, though some can
easily grab hold of you like an old Hank Williams. Some call them Indie
Country, some Americana, Some Folk Rock. To me they are the stories of my life
and love and what I see in my friends eyes, strangers stories” she shares. Read
more about her on her Website Bio
Home, history and family
take different shapes on her album Old Postcard released on March 4, 2014. Over
steadily propulsive drums and echoing guitars, the album’s title track finds White
looking back at the ghosts of her family, realizing that dreams that don't come
true are still dreams after all.
Old Postcard features
"haunting" melodies, something White, often compared to Lucinda
Williams, embraces. "There's definitely some ghosts floating around in
this album," she told USA Today
