Song Review: “I Just Want You To Know” By Amy Rose

By on March 29, 2013 in Album & Song Reviews

Independent country artist Amy Rose has a hit on her hands with her newest single “I Just Want You To Know”.   The song is a mid-tempo power ballad propelled by the powerful vocals of Amy Rose that are reminiscent of such artists as Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood.  This song is radio-friendly with well-written lyrics and displays her powerful voice all the way through.  Most impressive is the 11 second note that she was able to sustain near the end of the song demonstrating her remarkable vocal prowess.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

Republic Nashville recording artist, Martina McBride, performed to a sold out Hard Rock Cafe Nashville crowd on Friday, Nov. 16 with all proceeds directly benefitting Musicians On Call (MOC) Nashville, the non-profit that brings music to the bedsides of patients in six area healthcare facilities. Breaking MOC Nashville fundraising records for a single event, the benefit amassed over $35,000 through the event ticketing, silent auction, and through a unique online auction that afforded one lucky winner the opportunity to join McBride on stage for a song to which winning bidder, Lyndsi Riley, chose “This One’s for the Girls.”

“We could not imagine a better way to celebrate our fifth anniversary in Nashville. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see such an icon perform in an intimate setting,” shared Katy Epley, MOC Nashville’s Program Director. “Martina and her entire team could not have been more gracious or supportive of our efforts to bring the healing power of music to the bedsides of patients.”

McBride expressed, “I was so happy to be a part of the fifth anniversary of Musicians On Call in Nashville. We put together an eclectic set list of hits mixed with some of our favorite album cuts for a show that was one-of-a-kind. It’s a great organization doing important work and I was proud to be a part of that very special evening.”

Funds raised from the event will be used to support the local MOC branch and help to continue and to expand its Bedside Performance Programs. Visit www.MusiciansOnCall.org for more information on upcoming events or on how to donate or volunteer.
