“Uplifting power-pop indie” Metro
“Extraordinary… Macdonald’s strongest album since her 2007 debut” Sunday Express
Following the success of her most recent album ‘Under Stars’, which charted at No. 2 in the UK album chart, Amy Macdonald has released her brand new single ‘Automatic’. An energetic track made for a summer road trip, the single is accompanied by a video, which was directed by Chris Turner from Favourite Colour: Black. The performance video was shot in a high-tech testing room and actually risked being jeopardised, when her co-star fell ill at the last minute. Luckily, Amy’s manager’s brother heroically stepped in last minute to fill the role.
On creating the video, Chris said:
“We found inspiration for this video in its title ‘Automatic’. As Amy’s performance is the driving force in the film, the idea was to capture her in a pristine environment based on high-tech testing rooms where vehicle engine sounds are monitored and analysed.”

‘Under Stars’ success marks Amy’s third top 2 album in the UK, a feat she has equalled internationally. The album also debuted at 2 in the German and 1 in the Swiss album charts.

She will perform a run of 13 sold out UK and Ireland dates later this month, opening with Bristol and closing in Aberdeen.
