amilia k spicer - Singer Magazine Review

Amilia Spicer never set out to sound like Stevie Nicks. In fact, she never really intended to be a singer at all. Still, I was taken aback when I heard how strikingly similar her voice is to that of the front voice of Fleetwood Mac. So how did this all come to be? Amilia's goal when moving to LA was to become a film director. An Oscar nomination wasn't enough to keep her in the director's chair. Desiring a change, she traded her dressing room for a (keyboard) and set out to become a successful singer/songwriter. Upon listening to her latest release, Seamless, it's pretty obvious she made the right move. To back that up is the fact that she won the National Academy of Songwriters Female Artist of the Year award after only two years in the industry. Her distinctively charming voice is strong and playful. Her music is part folk with a touch of blues, a touch of roots, and a dash of western flair. She effectively mixes several styles of music in one package. The track "4:08" has a hint of Rockabilly swing while the song "Little Cowboy" invokes images of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers riding off into the sunset. It's a terrific collection, and her similarity to Stevie Nicks adds just another interesting spice to the mix.
