I remember Amy Studt being pegged as England’s answer to Avril Lavigne…angry girl pop music. Having first heard of Amy Studt through her song “Misfit,” and then “Under The Thumb” I finally got around to buying her album, 2002’s False Smiles. I then realized that some people already knew her for THIS, her debut single, called “Just A Little Girl, which was used in some TV promo spots for the final season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The single managed to peak at 14 on the UK charts and this fun video, directed by Sophie Muller features a young Studt, before label politics ultimately drove her into a less mainstream direction. Check out the videos for her last three singles from 2009’s My Paper Made Men, “Furniture,” “Chasing The Light” and “Nice Boys” (the latter being considerably more mainstream). After having been dropped by her label (19 Entertainment) Studt is currently at work on new material. Can’t wait to see what new stuff she comes up with, cos this girl’s really talented.
