Philly-bred rapper Amanda Blank first wowed me opening for Peaches at the Phoenix in Toronto. She hopped on stage wearing a flashy gold hooded poncho, to then strip to a sexy fluro-animal print one piece. Although Amanda’s fashion sense totally scored her some points, her on-stage energy and upbeat tracks really won me over. The hip-hop/electro babe was previously on tour opening for Santogold and Karen O, but currently ending her solo tour in Australia. She released her first solo album “I Love You” July 2009. It's a party packed CD that has has beatz from Diplo and Switch and features Lykke Li, Spank Rock and Chuck Inglish. All in all, the album is a hit. Very versatile. Amanda can sing, rap, write and perform. On top of her solo work she also sings in an indie/rock band called the “Sweathearts”.
Blank is on the rise so keep an eye out for this chick cause I'm sure her vibe is gonna get to you.
Check'er out!
