Amanda Thorpe, an English native, moved to New York in the 90’s. She recently returned to the UK, via Paris, and her latest recording, Blue Doors, is a collection of songs meandering through Brooklyn or down Rue de Boulanviller. Described as "gorgeously wistful and intensely poignant" (Lucid Cult.), her work continues to "balance brassiness and vulnerability with panache." (Variety).
