Amplified Heart is the eighth studio album by Everything but the Girl.
It was recorded and mixed in London during winter 1993/94. Photography was by Corinne Day.
Primarily an acoustic-driven set,Amplified Heart brought Everything but the Girl to mainstream audiences via the dance-floor remix of "Missing". Ultimately peaking at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in early 1996, "Missing" spent more than a year gaining airplay and exposing Everything but the Girl to US and worldwide audiences.
By 1996 it had sold 232,000 copies in the US, according to Nielsen Soundscan.
The album was reissued in 2012 by Edsel Records as a 2-disc deluxe set.
