 Seventeen year old, Amanda Rose Murphy showed up onto the scene in the new year, introducing us to her great talents with debut single "Love To Make You Cry" after being enrolled with rising "grooming" school Music 4 Youth in 2011. She became the first singer from the school to be signed to a record label after finalizing negotiations with record label Chaos Records and released her new single this week, the singer also appeared in Chaos Magazine this week. If you haven't known, she posses a powerful and soulful vocal range that first got her discovered by Chaos. Here is an interview with the rising Soul/Jazz songstress.You just released your new single this week, how does it feel to have things take off at such a young age?
Its incredible, I can't believe it you know? I'm just very excited to get my music out there. Its very positive, and straight to the core and just deep.. I always think a persons music should get a message out, or have it relate to them no matter what it is about, music should be about originality. About me being 17, I really look at it as any other singer who is just trying to make it. It's a long rode, even with me being 17. Everyone thinks I'm so mature, but I like being a young girl too! *Smiles shyly*
Your single got alot of praise, with critics and the media calling it incredibly soulful, how does that make you feel about the positive reaction?
I feel very grateful, feel very accomplished. I know this is just the beginning and theres so many more obstacles I'm sure I'm going to run into just like any other singer... but I've been singing for most of my life and to realize that you got lucky enough to be one of the millions of people who want the opportunity you are receiving just makes you even more grateful. I feel really lucky and blessed and just doing it for all the people who are trying hard to. I want them to keep striving.
Do you have plans to release an album in the new year?
Lets hope I can make it that far! All my supporters and people who have been behind me will hopefully support me to get that far, and knowing me, I will never give up.
Are you worried about the changes in life that come with fame?
Yanno, its really early in my career and I don't exactly know where all of this stuff is going to take me. It's really early in my career, we will just have to wait and see.
Who are some of your favorite artists, and inspirations and why?
... I always look at Minnie Riperton as my main inspiration and always will be my favorite singer and inspiration, Adele, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Estelle, and Florence Welch as some of my inspirations with Alicia Lena, Ryan Ross Hernandez, Katie Coyle, Maddie Rameau, Michelle Green being my favorites. Ryan is incredibly talented and I love his music and he always inspires me when I listen to the music he makes, its really amazing. Katie Coyle is one of the most talented pop singers I have ever seen at such a young age and with her being so young and being through so much in her career, and still reigning just makes me push forward because nothing has gotten her down. Maddie Rameau is so talented with her music being so different and just special and she may not be a pop singer and most of the world knowing her, but her music is just breathtaking. Alicia and Michelle are my favorites on the mainstream pop circuit because they are both non generic artists and Alicia is one of the best Soul artists I've seen and Michelle, voice amazing. All of them posses something that I want to mold myself into when making my music.
All of your friends who also attend Music 4 Youth have been fully behind you with her rising career, do you have anything to the students ?
First I want to say thank you for the people who took the time out to introduce themselves to me, and the people I have met and always believed in me. It means alot because what supporters aren't appreciated. I'm happy to have met such a wide range of talent and personalities
What advice could you give them?
To keep striving forward. Because just like what the teachers told us, we all have what it takes. Everyone there is just amazing and they shouldn't stop, they should keep striving.
Is there any advice you could give other 17 year old hopefuls like you once were?
Never give up. Because when you feel like something you want to get out onto that pen and paper and in that studio, reach a wider market of people, and for people to experience what you have gone through just by listening, no matter what age. Its really something that becomes unbelievable. Or maybe I just have to get used to it. Never give up, and to keep trying your hardest, someday it will pay off. Some take longer then others, some are faster. But only the ones that REALLY want it are the ones that deserve it. Fame goes to the wrong people sometimes.
Your mother has always been by your side, does the fact that she has done so much for you ever encourage you to try harder?
Yes because even though I'm young. I want to give back to her. I feel like this career will take me and my mother on a ride that we have never taken. I love her to death and will do anything for her. This is my time to bring my mother places and have her see things that we both have never seen. She is my best friend, and my mother and I want to really give back to her now. She'll always be by my side just like I'm on hers.
LOVE TO MAKE YOU CRY the soulful jam is OUT NOW!

As 2011 comes to a strong end, and 2012 starting, there is always those few questions that are constantly thought up. What new stars are going to be made in 2012? What stars will continue to dominate the charts? And most of all, who will live on the digital and radio charts? One songstress not worried about the glitz and glamour is Amanda Rose Murphy.
Growing up in Camden and instantly becoming a London neighborhood sensation by the age of 10, singing and dancing in her neighborhood and becoming a crowd favorite at virtually every talent show for her natural talent in singing and instruments, the 17 year old really started taking her singing career seriously last year and really went into full force after enrolling in Music 4 Youth.
Always cosigned to be "something special" with school officials, the teenage spent some of her time at Music 4 Youth and left about a month ago feeling ready to launch her career. After launching her solo career, she quickly got snapped up by Chaos Records at the very end of 2011 becoming the first Music 4 Youth participate to score a record deal. And where is Amanda now? She's releasing her debut single as soon as the new year starts. Happy 2012, Amanda.
Love To Make You Cry is the debut single from new singer Amanda Rose Murphy under Chaos Records and will be released on January 1st, 2011. The track starts off with an acoustic guitar note reiterating over and over again, and Amanda's timeless vocals hit the track right away with the acoustic notes, no backing beat. Her vocals so heart felt and strong, easily sounding comforting yet sounding quite effortless, in a good way, which makes it all the more interesting, and quite stunning.
The track is about a female singing to a loved one deeply, about how she loves to make him cry. Although sounding quite witty when you first think about it, the British soul princess opens us up to a new outlook on her purpose to make someone cry. As the track continues to go on without a backing beat and Amanda singing about a lover who is more then careless, and way less attentive, she sings with the surprising instruments of the organ, violin and piano joining the acoustic guitar and her voice, giving us this comforting and soul feeling she sings "And I wonder why, I love to make you cry", "It's the only time I see your watery eyes, look at mine" and the song simply breaks into a neo soul tune giving us a jazz/soul felt backing beat along with the beginning instruments.
Amanda Rose sings about the sensitivity a man shows when he cries to her, the only times he gives her the attention she ever so yearns for, and craves deeply, is when she makes him cry, so in return just like he loves to not pay her any attention, she loves to make him cry
"And when I make you cry, oh darling it works every time", "Those tears dripping down your face, showing the sensitivity I just embrace" She sings, expressing the need and love of the sensitiveness the guy is showing. She sings this beautifully accompanied by the backing beats, instruments and backing singers, ad libbing her webs lightly and slowly bringing us to the graciousness of Neo Soul yet going from girl with guitar meets gracious soul prospect
The song stays this tempo before slowing down one more time, as Amanda Rose speaks the words of the song, and then does a long and drawn out note as the backing joins back on bringing the song to an end and by the end of the song we are stuck thinking to herself "I cant believe she just turned 17".
Being only recorded in a low class studio in Basement Studios, has the British soul beauty, Amanda Rose Murphy's debut 2012 release still and enjoyable listen with the rawness of a non multi-computerized studio?
Sounds like
