5.0 out of 5 stars So Beautiful and Unique, October 12, 2003

By	Erin (Santa Barbara California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: False Smiles (Audio CD)

When my friend told me to listen to this song called "Just A Little Girl" I was astounded! Her vocal ability was amazing. And with this CD False Smiles I was so impressed. The songs are very very well written (she writes most if not all of them), and they are so beautiful! I have found some other of her music thats not on this CD but I say to anyone who is tired of over produced, too catchy and heartless music that most female singers are putting on the market. Buy this CD! Amy Studt is the most refreshing and orginal artist I've seen in a very very long time. She is my favorite artist, and every one should own this CD.
***Also check out the song "A New Day Breaks" by Amy Studt. It isn't on the CD but it is worth finding it.***

4.0 out of 5 stars just a little girl makes a great album, February 6, 2005

By	Lydia de Leeuw (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews

False Smiles, the debut album of 17 year old Amy Studt, is quite an eclectic piece of music. Sweet ballads, happy pop and frustrated rock, Amy can do it all. It kicks off with her first single, Just a Little Girl. A songs that seems sweet and poppy, but develops an in-your-face rocky attitude in the chorus. Other songs, like Under the Thumb, follow the same formula. Her second single Misfit is a nice pop tune.

The quality of Amy's lyrics is open for debate. She writes with a painful honesty that leaves little room for interpretation, but is refreshing at the same time. Ladder in My Tights is a nice example of this, with lyrics like Why'd you wanna pick on me and not the rest / Does it make you feel big, does it make you feel clever?. Granted, it's not the best piece of peotic songwriting ever, but you can tell it comes right from the heart. Other songs include Carry Me Away, that makes you think of enchanted forests and faeriedust, Happy Now, that wouldn't look bad in a Broadway musical, and the somewhat political Superior Mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Dubet CD is Fantastic!, July 23, 2003

By	Y. Tang (US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: False Smiles (Audio CD)

I pre-ordered this CD almost a week ago. Yet I still didn't receive the e-mail that my order has been shipped. Anyhow, I download two Hits (just a little girl, misfit) of this album from kazaa. I just love the English accent!
Amy Studt is another Anti-Avril.
