2006年Amy Diamond发布了第二张专辑 《Still Me Still Now》，Amy在专辑中展现干净却强劲的歌喉及精湛的歌艺 , 如果不是若隐若现的稚气嗓音 , 音感极佳和缩放自如的演唱技巧 , 充满现代感的铺陈几乎要以为这是张成年女歌手的作品。 　　Amy Diamond's second album, released almost exactly a year after her first, delivers amply on the somewhat eccentric promise of her debut. As the title suggests, the basic operating premises haven't changed much from This Is Me Now to Still Me Still Now: there are still ten tracks of infectious, sunshine-bright pop for kids of all ages; still kaleidoscopic, meticulously shiny productions that marry an all-embracing orchestral sweep to judiciously deployed synths and electronics; still the precocious, bright-eyed young girl (now 13 going on 14) with the uncannily big voice and penchant for theatricality. That said, this album is an improvement on its predecessor in almost every respect. First and foremost, the songwriting is uniformly strong -- there's not a duff track here, even if there may not be a stand-alone pop nugget to rival the unstoppable "What's in It for Me." "Don't Cry Your Heart Out" comes close -- in fact, it verges on stylistic and thematic facsimile, which is to say it's another bouncy pop-reggae tune wherein a good-for-nothing cad receives his lyrical upbraiding, though in this case the woman he's been kicking around isn't Amy but an off-stage third party ("Who are you to shame and mistreat her/'Cause she's not a man, but you are not one either"). Which is more tenable than Diamond herself having the jerk boyfriend (she could be singing to a deadbeat stepdad, for instance), even if the worldly-wise perspective she adopts still seems like a stretch for a 14-year-old. But that's just part and parcel of the mess of incongruities that make her such a fascinating and slightly surreal figure: trying to construct a realistic picture of our heroine through these songs is a losing battle, and beside the point....
