Mandy Moore On Love & Her New Album: ‘I Feel Like Such A Lucky, Lucky Girl’
Mandy Moore’s new album, “Amanda Leigh” is out this week, and she’s feeling “dandy.”
“I’m happy,” newlywed Mandy, who married rocker Ryan Adams in March, told Access Hollywood on Tuesday before her set at Los Angeles’ Amoeba Music. “I feel like such a lucky, lucky girl. My love life is great and I’m getting to do what I love to do creatively. All of those squares are really filled.”
“Amanda Leigh” is her real name and the album – a ‘70s-inspired singer/songwriter collection that she co-wrote with producer Mike Viola – showcases a more grown-up star than the teenager who once sang “Candy.”
“I’m 25 years old, I’m a woman,” she said. “Maybe I’m taking my name and trying to own it now and put my own definition behind it.”
However, Mandy’s not too embarrassed by her pop star past.
“To be perfectly honest I can listen back to what I was doing back when I was 15 and it’s only slightly embarrassing,” she said. “It’s like a bad haircut or something that just continues to follow you around. So [most] of it I’m OK with, but then some are just plain bad.”
