Amanda Leigh is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore, released by Storefront Recordings in May and June 2009.[3] Marketed and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, the album consists of eleven songs and five bonus tracks. Most are contemporary folk style songs with country and pop influences.

On March 17, 2009, "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week", the first single from the album, was released for digital download on iTunes.

Background and music

In October 2008, Moore posted live videos of three new songs she had been working on with singer-songwriter, pianist and guitarist Mike Viola on her blog. Fans speculated about a possible duo album with Moore and Viola.

Recording sessions for the album took place around December 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts.[4]

It was announced in February 2009 that the album was going to be released in May by Storefront Recordings that was founded by Moore's longtime music manager Jon Leshay. Moore worked with singer-songwriter Lori McKenna again, who co-wrote three songs on her fifth studio album Wild Hope (2007).

The album's music variously channels Todd Rundgren, Joni Mitchell and Paul McCartney. According to Moore, "The music is all a reflection of me now, not somebody else's choices."[5]

Tracks

The album opens with the song "Merrimack River", which, according to Moore, she knew it was exactly the way to open the album, indicating the lyrics ("restless to begin a wave comes crashing in").[6] The next song, "Fern Dell", was one of the first few songs recorded for the album. The song, according to Moore talks about first impressions and how they can change and affect your world. The third track is "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week", which also served as the only official single released. About the song, Moore says "it's a way of owning and acknowledging your sense of worth in a rather tongue and cheek manner".[6] The fourth song, "Pocket Philosopher", is about "the excitement of meeting someone new and wanting to stop time so you could figured them out a little more". The fifth song, "Song About Home" talks about the struggles that there might be between the definitions of home when you are a child and when you have your own family. "Everblue", the sixth song on the album, is the last of the six or seven songs co-written by Moore and Lori McKenna. The song, though being heavy, has a comfortable, resigned sadness.[6] The seventh song, called "Merrimack River (Reprise)" is an instrumental interlude which resembles the first song of the album. "Love to Love Me Back", the eighth song of the album, is a country-oriented song which talks about loving and being loved back by someone who is capable of having "two way conversations" and someone who "can handle any situation". The song was also the first song written by Moore along with Mike Viola and Inara Georgre and it became "instant driving force in shaping what the record turned out to be". "Indian Summer", the ninth song is described by Moore as "the one song that carried severe demo-itis for me". The tenth song of the record ("Nothing Everything") was the last song written for it. The song is about telling someone that maybe it's time to move on and that you feel that the person deserves the best, and you are not it. According to Moore, Viola was working on the melody for a few days, but the lyrics were written in fifteen minutes. The name of the last song of the record "Bug" came from Moore's nickname given by her then-husband, singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, and she describes it as "something acoustic and simple to fall at the end of the record".

Promotion and release

For the promotion of the album, Moore performed an exclusive concert for the winning town of the "Love at First Sniff" competition on Gain's official site. The town that has the most stories placed on the website wins the competition and gets the concert hosted there.[7]

Moore visited many talk shows including The Ellen DeGeneres Show[8] and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[9] On both shows she performed her new single "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" to promote the album. On May 26, 2009, she performed her new songs at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, together with Mike Viola, the day her new album set to be released under her new label Storefront Records.[10][11]

On March 17, 2009, her first single for the record "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week" was released for digital download on iTunes. This was the date of the pre-ordering for the album.[6] Also on March 17, Moore's official website shared clips from all the songs from the standard edition of the album.[6] New songs, "Fern Dell" and "Love to Love Me Back", were made available for streaming at her Myspace page a few days after.

According to a post in a blog on her website, it would be released digitally globally on September 29, a little more than four months after its initial release.[6] The album was released in Brazil on June 28, 2010, and in Argentina in November 2011.

The Dallas Morning News noted that "Amanda Leigh turns more compelling with each listen...How great that she left the Britney Spears factory behind."[17]
