Please start Amarok in a konsole with these arguments:

amarok -d --nofork

and check the error messages.

I suspect it is a well-known bug in the 2.8 version with the analyzer applet (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327150), if yes, here is the workaround:
disable the analyzer applet by editing ~/.kde/share/config/amarok_homerc and removing it from the plugins list

Also please file Amarok bugs downstream in http://bugs.kde.org, as for
all other KDE packages

Title:
  Amarok freezes on start up

Status in “amarok” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Amarok completely freezes on me on start up.  I had deleted all my
  settings for Amarok in ~/.kde/share/config/ and the directory
  ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok thinking that maybe it had something to do
  with my settings, but it's still just staying frozen when I try to
  start it up.  Even after an hour, it still stays frozen.

  This is on 14.10.
