With Gonna Get Better, Amy Regan reminds us that things will push forward despite hardships. That optimistic, positive perspective is what is lovely about this release. "Gonna Get Better" is an uplifting, upbeat song. Following is the pretty piano song "Keep You Warm." The pace picks up again with "Crazy," showing off a steady beat, finger snapping vibe, and sophisticated style. "Oooh, oooh, I'm going crazy," Regan sings.  Finally, "Just Once More" closes with a softer, slow guitar about a guy. Regan makes for a great living room listen, relaxed and at ease.

The EP is available digitally here. Regan performs at The Living Room in the lower east side of Manhattan on Oct. 7th at 9PM. The performance is free and 21+.

Amy Regan going strong with "Carry On," playing The Living Room in NYC on June 8

New York based songstress Amy Regan originally from New Jersey, knows how to mix melody with sweet vocals to create a great acoustic-pop song. That song is "Carry On," which is featured in a Hertz Commercial. That's an especially promising opportunity for a local musician. The song features a pleasant melody with a hint of folk, an uplifting spirit, and a lovely, soothing voice. "I’m not disappointed or let down/ Cuz it’s time my senses finally came around," she sings. 

Amy Regan's songs have a Sarah McLachlin meets Joni Mitchell feel with just the right amount of folk, pop, and soul that doesn't make her music sound dated, but rather a young fresh take on the music.

Amy plays at The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street, New York, NY on June 8 at 9pm.
