This Is the Life, the debut album from Scottish singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald, came out in July 2007 with Pete Wilkinson producing, and it's soft rock with a busker's heart: plainspoken, big-chorused songs sung in a voice that's bold, a little rough around the edges and impossible to mistake for anyone else.
It was a slow burner. The record threw off 6 singles, from "Poison Prince" and "Mr Rock & Roll" through "L.A." and "Run", and only climbed to number one in the UK and Scotland in January 2008. The title track, a bright, rousing singalong, is what really carried it, topping the charts in Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Austria. By 2017 the album had sold more than 900,000 copies in Britain and gone triple platinum.
