 Take a Look at new album Amanda Leigh  Amanda Leigh is the sixth studio album by American singer and songwriter Mandy Moore, released on May 26, 2009. Amanda Leigh is Moore's first and middle name, respectively.
In October 2008, Moore posted on her website blog live videos of three new songs she's been working on, along with singer-songwritter, pianist and guitarist Mike Viola. It was at first expected to a be a duo album between the two, but then in January 2009, it was revealed it would be a solo album with a collaboration with him, slated for release in May 2009.
Recording sessions for the album took place around December 2008 in Boston, Massachusetts. A video of the experience was posted on the website for Gain, the laundry soap.

The radiant 20-year-old is in town to promote Saved!, a black comedy/teenage satire that was consistently deemed one of the smarter teen-oriented pictures during its limited theatrical run in the United States earlier this year. In the film, which also stars Jena Malone, Patrick Fugit, Macaulay Culkin, and a bevy of other young talents, Moore plays the super religious, but insular Hilary Faye.

 Mandy in Brief
Born Amanda Leigh Moore, 10 April 1984, Nashua, New Hampshire, but raised in Orlando, Florida, USA.
One of the big success stories of the US pop charts in 1999, Mandy Moore rose to prominence after touring dates with 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys.
Her debut single, "Candy", sold half a million copies, many of the sales attributable to a promotional website that registered over 100,000 "hits" a day at its peak.
Moore had wanted to be a performer from the age of six, when she sang the hits of the day. By the time she attended a summer musical camp aged nine she was even more convinced about her career prospects:
