PALOMA FAITH

paloma single

Some 18 months or so ago we interviewed Paloma Faith, we recognised a singer of immense talent and breathtaking imagination (interview here) and were wowed by her early demos.   Paloma has  interesting career arch,  an ex magician’s assistant, trained contemporary dancer, St Martin’s college alumni with an MA in theatre direction, performer in burlesque shows and actress, but music has always been her primary love. She is finally due to release her debut single “Stone Cold Sober” on 15/06/2009 which  can be ordered here . Her album “Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? Is released on 26.09.2009. The wait is almost over….

METRIC – SICK MUSE

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEz8N8AT-yo]

Metric release their second single from the brilliant “Fantasies” album . “Sick Muse” is melodically sweet yet thematically bitter, one which seethes with vitriol and sarcasm while at the same time brimming over with pop hooks and instantly memorable tunes aplenty. With Haines’ pithily observing in the chorus that “Everybody just  wanna fall in love”, “Sick Muse” comes on like a cool breeze on a hot summer night with razor blades in it.

ISA & THE FILTHY TONGUES

“Big Star”

isaThe bands last single New Town killer featured in NME magazine ’10 Tracks You Must Hear’ and the single signals an epic return to the UK music scene in what is proving to be a hugely successful year. If you enjoyed the last one then the bands latest offering “Big Star” may cause you to soil yourself with excitement as its fantastic. At times sounding like  Siouxsie at her most imperious fused with Debbie Harry this emerges from the darkness to dazzle.

ROSE ELINOR DOUGALLRosay

R.E.D. is throwing a launch party this Monday 8th June at London’s Luminaire in celebration of new limited edition single ‘Stop/Start/Synchro’ which arrives next week through Elefant Records Singles Club and has been  lavished with well deserved  praise. Forget handclaps and dotty pop, she’s long left that behind. Live, she plays with her band The Distractions that build a fuzz filled, hard rocking psychedelic wall of sound alongside Rose’s soaring vocals. Great time to catch her before the release of upcoming debut album ‘Without Why’.
