Lola Matthews

Fresh faced, confident, stylish and powerful. The Indie Queen

From school Girl to singing sensation. 17 year old Lola Matthews hit the charts with Hidden Love. It shot straight to number one within a week of being released on her new album....(Name)

Lola’s passion for music came to her as a child. She grew up listening to bands like Blur, The Kooks, The Police and lots more. She heard all this music through her dads record collection that he listened to on a daily basis. In school Lola took part in any musical event as she loved to be centre stage and show of her talent. All her friends loved the music that she wrote herself and named her the Indie Queen. This name has stuck to this day.

Lola Matthews gets a lot of her lyrical inspiration from past relationships that haven't gone to plan and have ended badly." i show my emotions through my lyrics. the feelings that i have i turn into lyrics, my lyrics are like a diary to me as they tell the story’s that i have been through and remind me of how far i have come."

Lola's New album, (insert name), includes Hidden Love, along with 6 other never before heard songs. Although Hidden Love made it to number one in the charts, it isn't Matthews favourite song. " Hidden Love is an emotional song, but to me ( insert name) is by far my favourite song on the album. I spent ages on (insert name) perfecting it and putting as much emotion into it as i could." ( Album Name) is a big seller. We wanted to get Lola’s opinion on why she thought this was.

" Im unsure why (Album Name) is so popular, Maybe my fans realise how much work i put into it and how proud of it i a. i hope my songs reflect this and it stays a big seller as it's so great to know that people enjoy what i produce, and it makes me want to carry on making music for my fans."

 

Lola has a massive future ahead of her in the music industry. " Releasing my first album was insane and one of the best feelings ever. One day i hope to have enough fans so that i can tour. But right now I’m still trying to get over how well I’ve been accepted into the music industry and how amazing all the support on my album is. Life couldn't get any better than now!"

"Although i have been so well excepted into the music business i still get negative comments like every artist does. People say I’m too young to be creating music, but to me age is just a number and it's not going to stop me perusing my passion."

 

We hope to see more of Lola in the future as we love her style and think she can go far!

Amplify

West London’s Alternative Boys full of passion and Power.

Amplify release their third album this week. It includes well known songs such as Her way and Don't Look Back.

The Four Boys are reloaded and ready to hit the stage again. They will be announcing their tour dates this Christmas, ready to start their tour next year.

Amplify are passionate musicians that found their love for music as teenagers. They are all best friends from school who kept a close relationship as they all left and went to different universities. In secondary school they all fell for music in their music class. " our teacher used to just put on classic songs for the whole lesson while we worked."

“slowly our passion grew from their as we all used to join in and sing along. we soon realised that all our voices worked well together and from there onwards, the only way was up." And haven’t they travelled far? from singing together in class at school, to releasing their third album and going on tour.

Amplify are a united team." We have our ups and downs, but who doesn't! we have come so far and we aren't ready to throw it away."

Amplify haven't had the smoothest of journeys to fame. Soon after they released their second album in 2010 Amplify were all found posessing illegal drugs while they were on vacation in America. This ruined their image and upset fans greatly. This was a big mistake on Amplifys part and we thought their career could come to an end there and then.

When questioned on the situation, Amplify replied with, " who doesn't make mistakes. As singer/songwriters there is a lot of pressure on our shoulders to do everything right and change our life style to suit our audience. Yes music has changed our lives but it hasn't changed the way that we are. Fans seem to forget that we are human to, we make mistakes, and this was a big one, but we have learnt from it and we have progressed forward, we just hope that our fans can too." It looks like their fans have moved on as the new album has shot into the charts and straight to number one! Looks like things can only get better from here for Amplify
