Amy Macdonald today shares the new EP ‘Don’t Tell Me That It’s Over’, a collection of fan favourites which have been reimagined with the energy of her live performances in mind. The EP is released ahead of some major summer festivals including headline sets at Doune The Rabbit Hole and Camp Dalfest as Amy adds to the 3.3 million people she has so far performed to throughout her career.
The lead track ‘Don’t Tell Me That It’s Over’ shows how much Amy’s voice has matured since the original version was released in 2010, while the production, less intricate but far more raucous, allows its driving pop-rock melodies to take on a powerful new momentum. Originally considered a rockier progression from her folk roots when released as the first single from ‘A Curious Thing’, this latest update of ‘Don’t Tell Me That It’s Over’ finds the perfect balance between insistent melodies and belligerent bite.
The song’s accompanying video compiles footage from her sold-out and emotionally charged show at Glasgow’s 14,300 capacity OVO Hydro in March. Greeted by a euphoric fan reaction, the show proved to be a landmark celebratory moment for everyone in attendance as gigs were finally back.
Amy says, “Having played these songs live for years on the road, my band and I decided to reimagine the music a little bit, give them a new lease of life, and bring them into line musically with some of the tracks from my latest album. The result is a really exciting and modern vibe, and when we took them on the road and played them in front of an audience they got a great response, so we decided we wanted to put them down on record and share them with the world - hence this EP!”
