Description
Exciting newbie Alice Jemima has just revealed a brand new single Electric, taken from her debut self-titled album, Alice Jemima. The album has been produced by Roy Kerr (London Grammar, Bloc Party, Foxes) and will be released via Sunday Best Recordings on March 3rd 2017.
Quietly determined, naturally authentic and with a devastating turn of phrase, Jemima creates songs that speak of universal emotions but in a way that feels direct and personal. Jemima describes her new single Electric as being about positivity and the realisation that you can do amazing things, if only you can see yourself the way others do. The creeping Diamonds And Bones is whisper soft but full of foreboding; the pretty Under The Radar skips around a pulsating bassline, while the classic-sounding So marries an exploratory xx-esque guitar figure with percussive beats and Jemimas soft croon. So was also the song that helped shape the sound of her album My voice can sound really young it needs to be surrounded by the right things to really shine, so I found that beats and darker keys and minimal guitar fits around my voice nicely.
Jemimas debut Liquorice EP was released back in June to a receptive audience, with the lead track Liquorice being selected by Radio 1s Huw Stephens as his Tip Of The Week and John Kennedys X-Posure Big One on Radio-X and to date has over 470,000 Spotify streams. Her subsequent single release Dodged a Bullet has now been play listed at Radio 1 and currently stands at over 755,000 Spotify streams. Jemimas initial breakthrough arrived in 2014 when her sultry cover of Blackstreets No Diggity suddenly blazed its way to nearly 3 million plays prompting multiple label offers and a subsequent label deal with Sunday Best.
With a recent Ladyhawke tour support under her belt, as well as performing live on the Radio 1 BBC Introducing Stage at their summer Big Weekend live show in Devon and owning the stage at a packed out Big Top performance at both Bestival & Camp Bestival, 2016 has been an exciting year for Alice Jemima and with the upcoming release of her debut album, 2017 looks even more promising.
