I LOVE YOU IN STORES JULY 14th ON DOWNTOWN RECORDS
PREVIEW OF SONGS AT SXSW THIS WEEK!
The list of artists that can sing, rap, write amazing pop songs and perform them with irresistible charisma is small. The list of female performers that can do all of that is even smaller and Amanda Blank is about to rise to the top of that list with her debut album, I Love You. Many are familiar with Amanda as the fiery vixen appearing alongside crowd and critical darlings Spankrock, and as part of the Philly-based pop group Sweatheart. Enlisting the help of uber-produers Diplo, Switch and XXXChange, Amanda Blank has made a record that is light years ahead of what anyone could’ve expected based on her guest appearances thus far. Balancing a razor-sharp wit & vocal dexterity with an unmatched stage presence, this is a woman to watch. Other featured guests on the record include Spank Rock, Santigold, Lykke Li and the Cool Kids.
Amanda will be performing at SXSW:
Thursday March 19- Blacksmith Showcase at Scoot Inn- Set time 11pm
Friday March 20- Biz 3 Showcase at Club De Ville- Set time 11pm
Saturday March 21- Sweathearts Showcase at Domy Books- Set time 6:05 pm
Downtown Records CEO, Josh Deutsch on Amanda:Â “It’s amazing to me what Amanda Blank can do. Amanda’s Downtown debut is an incredible collection of songs that showcase her unique singing and rapping styles, blending hip hop, pop, punk and electronic influences in a totally original way. From racy rap records to deeply moving electro-pop songs to records that channel Blondie and the Beasties at the same time, “I Love You” is a post-modern, subversive pop masterpiece.”
I Love You drops July 14th on Downtown Records. Music, bio, art and more available upon request.
