THE GIRLS ARE POST: April News Pieces

Jesca Hoop - New Album Release:

Moodily melodic solo artist Jesca Hoop is set to return this year with her third album The House That Jack Built, due for release on her own label on June 25.

The House That Jack Built follows on from 2009’s critically- acclaimed album Hunting My Dress; an album which earned her high-profile fans including Peter Gabriel, Jools Holland and Elbow’s Guy Garvey. Hoop’s new offering is set to offer the same haunting intimacy as her previous work, complete with eerie soundscapes and perspective-warping lyrics.

Jessie J - New Video:

Feisty popstar and The Voice coach Jessie J has unveiled the video to her new track ‘LaserLight’.

Taken from the Platinum Edition of her debut album Who You Are, ‘LaserLight’ is a electro-house ballad which perfectly exhibits Jessie’s powerhouse vocals. Featuring David Guetta, the master of all things dance, this track is set to be the soundtrack to club summer in 2012, and it now has a slick new video to match.
The single is set for release on May 13, via Island and Universal.

Marina and the Diamonds - Free Track:

Gorgeous songstress Marina And The Diamonds has released an acoustic rendition of her track ‘Homewrecker’.

Showcasing the singer’s accomplished vocal talents, ‘Homewrecker’ appears straight off Marina’s new album Electra Heart, set for release on 679/Atlantic on April 30. Witty, eccentric and ravishingly tongue-in-cheek, ‘Homewrecker’ focuses on identity, love and doomed romance.
This distinguished acoustic version of the track is currently available for free download on Marina’s website.

Paloma Faith - New Video:

Quirky, uber-glam popstar Paloma Faith has released the video to her brand new single ‘Picking Up The Pieces’, scheduled for release on May 20.

This cinematic video, dripping with wealth and drama, is just what you would expect from Ms Faith, with the visuals complementing her powerful voice marvellously. This lead single precedes the release of her second album Fall To Grace, out on May 28.

2:54 - New Video:

Grunge-punk duo 2:54 have offered up the video to their new single ‘You’re Early’.

This atmospheric video and adjoining single, out now on Fiction, demonstrates the Thurlow sisters’ cool brand of desert rock perfectly.
The girls, fresh from their highly successful US tour, will now be playing a couple of London shows at Rough Trade East on May 31 and Scala on June 7, in support of their forthcoming self-titled debut LP, released May 28. Tickets are on sale now.
