Album Review: Amy Regan - Gonna Get Better EP


In a market saturated with singer-songwriter types, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff?

Amy Regan, one of New York's rising talents, stands out from the crowd. All of 25, she got her break when she was discovered by a DDB-NY art director, who subsequently featured her in a Hertz commercial along with her song, "Carry On".

Gonna Get Better is a showcase of her musical leanings. The 4 track EP, released last July, contains pop songs with a dose of lyrical sensitivity. My favourite cut is the upbeat "Crazy", which is reminiscent of fellow singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. If you like radio-friendly fare without the cheesy lyrics, Regan is definitely one artist worth checking out.

Her full-length album is due out this October.
