Amanda Rogers出生在意大利,但她所有的成长经历都发生在纽约,所以她的音乐中听不出任何意大利人的感觉.她和Tori Amos的气质很像，都属于把钢琴当作主要乐器的唱作人.但她又有些不一样，她的音乐是感性的,恰如其分的伤感若隐若现.04年发行的第二张专辑"Daily News",琴声轻柔但是坚定,配以Amanda的柔美女声,深情地慢慢诉说属于她的故事.



Daily News is a soothing reflective masterpiece filled with charming vocals and lush piano. Amanda Rogers continues to grow and mature as a very gifted songwriter, spending a lot of quality time in the studio to record, this her sophomore album on Immigrant Sun Records. Quiet and somber melodies with introspective lyrics and ethereal instrumentals create an exciting dynamic that Rogers excels at. Rogers opens up with “Live in Our Eyes,” a powerful statement of melody, a rite of initiation for the listener who is introduced to her for the first time. One can see why see brings audiences to a still awareness and complete hush, as she dazzles the listeners who give her their full attention. Her list of opening slots continue to grow, doing shows with fans Dashboard Confessional and Onelinedrawing. Her sense of direction in each song, from the romantic “Sophia” to the dreamy “The End” seem to always flow, as she possesses to unique gift to write songs that transition with great ease, with a beautiful ebb and dance. Truly a remarkable artist, her breathtaking songs carry the people in the room with her, rising above to a higher atmosphere of musical bliss in rainbow clouds. There is quite a memorable and dark feel of dissonance on the sad “Vacancy,” displaying her classically trained artistry on piano, with soft and silky chord rolls. Daily News is quite an exceptional effort by a brilliant female singer/artist and should be placed up there as one of the truly best releases by a female songwriter in 2004.
