Amy Diamond- ‘Up’ and ‘Heartbeats’

Have you ever thought of being a singer when you are 12 years old? Amy diamond is a very young Swedish Pop  singer who is only 18 years old this year. She released her very first own album when she was 12 ‘This Is Me Now’. The songs that I recommend you guys are these two songs of totally different styles.Both songs are from her album ‘Swings and Roundabouts’ that is released in 2009. I think the album name is quite unique too!

The first song ‘Up’ is a light and happy song compared to ‘Heartbeats’. ‘Up’ is a party like song where it has a catchy tune. The song is started with a catchy beat and catchy words ‘Up u-u-up, up up,u-u-up, up up’.The light beats from the drums bring out the simplicity of this song and also the relaxing feeling of this song! This song is definitely a good party starter and would make people feel like dancing to the catchy beat of the tune!

‘Up’ is a relatively high song.The lyrics for the chorus are relatively simple as this is considered a pop song.Thus, having simpler lyrics make the song catchy and also easier for the singer as well.Don’t you think so?

‘Now won’t you turn it up, up, up
Louder, don’t stop!
Take me over, lift me up high
You need to turn it up, up, up
We’re ready, ready for this evening
Ready for the feeling, won’t you turn it up’

The second song (Heartbeats) is a totally different kind of music!It is a touching yet simple song. The second song started with some chords and string notes on the piano and the guitar playing the accompaniment of the song. It brings about a calming effect of the song and this allows the listener to be calm and be totally drawn into the song. The lyrics of this song has a deeper meaning in my opinion. It somehow brings out a girl’s simple confession and the fear of falling in love and breaking her heart.Amy Diamond’s clear and angelic voice added more points to her singing and her interpretation of this song. The lyrics is very touching.
