UK SENSATION EMELI SANDÉ ANNOUNCES LIVE SHOWS IN NORTH AMERICA
Scottish-born singer and songwriter Emeli Sandé, who has been thrilling fans across the Atlantic over the past year with her rich, soulful voice and sophisticated songwriting, will make her North American live debut with a string of North American showcases in February and March. In addition to private shows in New York City and Los Angeles, Sandé will perform for the public in San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Toronto. Please see below for details.
The mini-tour will give North American audiences a preview of the songs featured on Sandé’s upcoming debut album, Our Version Of Events, which will be released by Capitol Records in June. The album — which includes the U.K. singles “Heaven,” “Daddy” and “Next To Me”— reveals Sandé to be an uncompromising creative force who draws inspiration from the likes of Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, and Lauryn Hill, and combines it with an instinctive feel for pop songwrtiting, making her a radio favourite in the UK. The result is a contemporary-yet-timeless album and a heady soundscape into which “Her remarkable voice is put centre-stage from the outset” as the UK’s Q magazine recently noted, adding “She’s made an album that deserves to linger in the limelight – passionate, powerful and possessed of real star quality.”
Patrick Watson To Release Fourth Album “Adventures In Your Own Backyard”
Secret City is pleased to announce the release of Patrick Watson’s new album, Adventures In Your Own Backyard, on April 17th in Canada. The 12-track album will see release in the rest of the world via Domino.
Adventures In Your Own Backyard, the fourth full-length effort from Patrick Watson, was recorded in Montreal after a grueling five-year run that saw Patrick and his band (bassist Mishka Stein bass, guitarist Simon Angell and drummer Robbie Kuster) tour the world in support of two critically-acclaimed and successful albums, including the Polaris Music Prize-winning Close To Paradise.
The album’s title is a nod to both Watson’s attempt to make a more “personal, humble” record—and to the fact that it was recorded almost entirely in his apartment in Montreal. By contrast, both Close to Paradise and especially 2009’s Wooden Arms were recorded over long periods of time, in many different locations around the globe. As Kuster explains, “Pat’s studio environment allowed us to be relaxed and feel like we were in an informal space…our own. That really let us dig in to the writing and the arranging.” The result is an album that is still ripe with the touchstones one has come to expect from Patrick Watson and his collaborators, but permeated with a greater sense of patience, and confidence.
Adventures In Your Own Backyard is preceded by the single for the sweeping, elegant “Into Giants,” which is available to all at www.patrickwatson.net and via the widget below. Patrick and his band have already lined up shows before the album’s release that will include a headlining appearance at South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas in March, and support dates with Andrew Bird in the US this May, with many more dates to follow throughout the world.
