ALBUM

Het debuutalbum van de Schotse singer/songwriter Amy Macdonald, This Is the Life, behaalde een opmerkelijk resultaat -- het kwam de hitlijsten binnen op nummer 2. Macdonald geeft toe dat het nummer "Poison Prince", dat als single in een beperkte oplage werd uitgebracht, gebaseerd is op het leven van Babyshambles en zanger Pete Doherty van de Libertines, maar de eerste nationaal uitgebrachte single, "Mr. Rock & Roll", heeft helemaal niets met hem te maken. Met een vinger aan de pols van nieuwsberichten van 2007, gaat "Footballer's Wife" over de WAG (wives en girlfriends) cultuur; vrouwen die alleen maar bekend zijn vanwege hun beroemde partners. Het album heeft een nostalgische sfeer en de doet denken aan de stem van Kirsty MacColl.
