Amanda Blank is, in her own words, a “Make It Take It Girl”– an artist who’s built an impressive resume on blood, sweat, and tears and already at the tender age of 22 (or maybe 23 — no one’s really sure). Already renowned for her work with Ghostface Killa, M.I.A., and being featured (as a lot of ChinaShop’s acts seem to be as of late) on C.S.I., Amanda Blank’s name has clearly made the rounds with a fair share of hip-hop artists. Maybe it’s this sort of lumping-in that’s earned her the reputation as a rapper, about as appropriate a label as death metal! Sure there’s hip-hop (amongst other things) in there, but through listening to her music one gets an even greater sense of Amanda’s extensive palette of musical styles, ranging from not only R&B and hip-hop, but to 80′s new wave, bubblegum pop, catchy dance tunes and more. Red Bull Music Academy has more on her ever-expanding, multi-generic sense of style.
