    Some people call her a 'one hit wonder', but her debut album is filled to the brim with truly excellent ditties: 'Let's Start a Band', 'L.A.', 'Mr. Rock & Roll', 'Run', 'A Wish for Something More', 'The Road to Home' ... Not a wrong note. A faultless debut. 'A Curious Thing', her second album, is just as good.

    A one hit wonder? She has 3 albums that sold very well in my country (Belgium). I do not remember her as a one hit wonder.

    She’s soo sweet, and has found that doing something you enjoy and love to do (playing the guitar and singing) isn’t like work and makes life great and she’s hasn’t let stardom go to her head, she’s kept close to her true friends. Bless you Amy.

    The album may not be very spectacular, and there's plenty of reasons to dislike a one hit wonder like this pme. But honestly, is there a song that describes that feeling of 'This is perfect, I don't want this night to end and I don't care what happens next' any better? Also she seems a really pleasant person. Which is a rarity on its own.
