Having listened through Amy Kuney's CD 'Bird's Eye View' quite a few times over a short period of time, I can honestly say that this is an album that continues to entertain with it's diversity and the skill of Amy Kuney's beautiful voice. There is not a single song on the album that I feel the need to skip over. It is continually interesting, quiet and moving at moments, and lyrical and loud at others. The lyrics also are different than what one would normally expect, staying away from conventional trappings. Songs like 'Simple Things' and the title track 'Bird's Eye View' are songs that I will never tire of, and represent a quality that I've been missing lately in music. Overall, a wonderful, beautiful album.

Young singer-songwriter, Amy Kuney's Bird's Eye View is a fabulously refreshing colletion of very singable, spirited songs - especially Rocket Surgery, Thank You For Last Night, and Will You Miss Me. Each song on Bird's Eye View leaves you eager for the next. The first song, Simple Things, is absolutely beautiful -- amazing lyrics! Throughout the CD, Amy's sweet, sometimes husky voice entertains the listener through her creative lyrics and hook-layden melodies that I would describe as universally appealing. Give this young artist a little more exposure and she's sure to soar! Keep this CD in your car so you can sing along with Amy!

Amy Kuney is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter that you should be familiar with if you aren't already. Her biggest supporters include Damien Rice and Kate Voegele and she has played at clubs in New York and LA that feature new singer-songwriters. Even after only a few spins (okay, I played it a lot), Bird's Eye View already plays like some of the classic singer-songwriters of the 1970s like Court and Spark and Late For The Sky. Amy's songs have a simple elegance, a romantic lyricism and are very memorable and immediately catchy. Excellent musical performances by all involved, impeccable arrangements and production make this album a great listen. Amy's songs are well-crafted, polished gems that invite repeated listens. Highlights include the prayerful Angel Tangled In The Telephone Line, the bouncy and jaunty Would You Miss Me, and the obvious pick for hit single, Thank You For Last Night. And the excellent title song.

With so much content to choose from in the music world, it's difficult for the cream to rise to the top of the heap. So let's clear away some of the confusion. If you are a fan of excellent songwriting, flawless production, adept playing, a smooth, soothing (and sometimes raspy) voice and catchy hooks, the CD should already be in your shopping cart. The songs range from reflective to regretful, bittersweet to enlightening, never spoon-feeding the listener and always throwing new soulful sounds at your ear. It is rare that an album contains songs that you don't ever feel the urge to skip over (unless it's to get to one of your favorites). Not only is Amy a supreme talent, she is a humble and appreciative performer. If you ever get the opportunity to see her perform live, go - and buy an extra CD for a friend while you're there.
