Horizon (Amy-Elizabeth album)

Horizon is the debut studio album by Kuboian children’s television presenter Amy-Elizabeth Phillips, released on 29th April, 2008 by Oyea Records. Ericka Streets and DJ Kubin were the executive producers for the album.

Horizon spawned a total of six singles; "Destined To Be", "In The Air", "Underneath My Skin", "Can't Control The Heat", "Past My Limits" and "Kickball", all of which charted internationally. As an album, it was met with critical acclaim due to its lineup (mostly consisting of Nick Go! stars), and has since been certified Platinum by the KSR.

Background
The album was first announced on 8th April, 2007, the same day its lead single "Destined To Be" was released. The album was originally going to be released around November 2007, but got delayed to early 2008 to allow more time to produce more songs.

Horizon draws significant inspiration from the popularity and culture Nick Go!, a Kuboian-exclusive Nickelodeon spin-off channel, gained during the mid-2000s. Some of the album’s songs also take inspiration from the history of said culture; "For Blade" is a tribute to Blade Holter, and several of the tracks reference Aourine Esthers.
