STEP ASIDE LILLY AND ADELE, THESE ARE THE GIRLS SET TO STORM YOUR IPOD. MEET AMY MACDONALD, GABRIELLA CILMI AND REMI NICOLE, MUSIC'S HOTTEST NEW PROPERTIES
By Vicki Grimshaw
Amy MacDonald, 23
By rights, Amy shouldn’t be in a line-up of the bright young things of 2008.
Yes, she’s hugely talented, charismatic and has sold a fair few records – but her success has been almost accidental.
“I was all set to go off to university to study geography, but that’s on hold now,” she explains.
“On hold” is one way of describing what you do to your future plans when, aged 17, a five-album deal with Universal Music comes your way.
Others might rip up their uni offers, but Amy, from Bishopbriggs near Glasgow, is mature beyond her years and would like to keep her options open.
“I don’t want to live my life in the glare of fame,” she says.
But since Amy’s debut pop-folk album This Is The Life knocked Radiohead off the top of the charts in January, fame has been hard to avoid – as have the pitfalls.
Her year-long relationship with boyfriend Gregor MacDonald, 24, was one of the first casualties.
“When he was on tour with me, we just spent too much time together,” she explains.
Amy has now sold over half a million records in Europe – but nothing seems to faze her.
“I might be sick of the music industry in five years, so I haven’t given up the idea of being a geography teacher just yet!” she says.
Amy’s new single, Run, is out now
