A Me B debut single released today. Outcast is the exciting and long awaited debut single from Manchester based rap star Amy Burns aka A Me B.

At just 18 Wigan's A Me B has already supported major artists such as

Tinchy Stryder DJ Ironik and Akala and recently performed at Abbey Road Studio in front of a hugely impressed Tom Robinson as part of the BBC Masterclass in London. Tipped by BBC Introducing as one to watch for 2011, A Me B has shared the stage with established and emerging UK artists at festivals all across the North West.

Outcast is already receiving great feedback generating support from BBC Manchester Music BBC Introducing in Manchester and Rinse FM as her star continues to rise.

A Me B is a fresh Urban talent incorporating deftly delivered rhymes and catchy hooks for a commercial but hard-hitting sound that is hard to resist. So much so that Amy has confirmed invitations to switch on the St Helens Christmas lights on 19th November as a main judge and performing the single for Lancashire Boys and Girls clubs got talent night at Thwaites Blackburn Theatre on 17th November and as special support for Chipmunk and Mavado at Manchesters Academy on 13th December.

"Where many artists fall short of their promises to deliver great operatic fusion music, Anima Animus Animal follows through and excels!...Also a performance troupe of many skills including dance, aerial arts and filmmaking, this group truly has it nailed down with respect to their musical endeavors. Though billed as an electro-gothic-opera project,their music is the furthest from campy and/or confusing as one might expect- it is in fact, very balanced and never too complicated in its effect.  With Paul Ashton using minimal but powerful electronic and synthesized backdrops to propel and add texture, and the dynamic vocals of Alexis Karl ( who has a range nearing that of Diamanda Galas and the skill and command to use it) their album, Be Deathless takes the listener on a journey through a spiral of shifting time, mysticism and archetypes, sung in languages including Sanskrit,Ancient Persian, and Italian to name but a few. Truly, Anima Animus Animal has captured the rich, decadent and esoteric side of gothic ambient music, and I'd highly recommend this album if you are looking for a soulful blend of light and dark-it's a great atmospheric experience."
