Amy Macdonald looks unrecognisable 14 years after releasing debut album

AMY Macdonald looks unrecognisable - 14 years after her debut album. 

The Scots singer, 34, released her first record This Is The Life back in 2007 and kick-started a successful career that has seen her perform all over the world.

She sold millions of copies which led to her appearance on US talk shows and even a spot on Switzerland’s Walk of Fame.

Popular tracks on the album include Poison Prince, Mr. Rock and Roll and This Is The Life.

Amy released first album aged just 19 but didn’t let her meteoric rise go to her head and insists she hasn’t changed too much.

She said: “If I could go back I would probably take it all in more.

“I was so young and thrust into this crazy position, so I had an album that was selling millions all over Europe and I just thought this is what happens — I had just put my music out and it had done really well.

“But now I know that’s not what happens — it takes so much hard work and dedication on so many people’s parts.

“I think if I had known more at the time I would have savoured every single moment but hindsight is a wonderful thing.”

And Amy looks unrecognisable in throwback snaps promoting her debut record when she was a teen.

Pictures from the Radio Forth awards in 2007 show Amy wearing an oversized Scotland top with a side fringe and some heavy eye makeup.

The singer has since released five studio albums and even a greatest hits record as well.

She boasts a following of 136,000 fans on Instagram where she regularly gives updates into her life.

On Monday, Amy revealed that she has been hosting her own radio show on BBC Scotland for two episodes.

She called it a "lifetime ambition".

In 2018, Amy married footballer Ricky Foster.

SUCCESSFUL CAREER

The pair jetted to the Wynn Hotel resort in Last Vegas and tied the knot in a glitzy bash at the weekend.

Recently, she returned to the stage at TRNSMT and dazzled revellers with her performance.

Amy went down a storm as she played tunes from her latest album The Human Demands, as well as older hits This Is The Life and Mr Rock & Roll.

Speaking to the lively crowd, she said: “It’s such a pleasure to be here. There’s always something special about playing your hometown.”
