Gown

The ground-breaking debut album by one of the most stunning new voices of the century. Discovered and produced by Jon Cotton, producer of Scott Matthews' Ivor Novello Award-winning 'Passing Stranger', Gown is a mesmerising work of left-of-centre pop, threaded-through with hope and surmounted by the uniquely stunning voice of Jo Hamilton. Jo Hamilton has already been likened to other groundbreaking female artists of their time such as Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Polly Harvey; she will also strike a chord with fans of contemporary artists such as Imogen Heap, Feist and Regina Spektor. Stemming from a childhood spent in remote corners of Scotland, the Middle East and Sri Lanka, Jo's music is elemental, an empathatic commentary reflecting our hopes, our glories and our tragedies. She unflinchingly reworks and applies the nostalgia of the old Gaelic lullabies of her childhood to a multicultural world of iPods and urbanism, often with devastating effect. “A staggering voice that can brush softly against your soul or fill you with the intensity of an earthquake” - Scott Matthews Tracks: Exist (beyond my wildest dreams) / Pick me up / There it is / How beautiful / Deeper (Glorious) / Paradise / All in adoration / Liathach / Mekong song / Winter is over / Think of me Promo camapaign includes confirmed BBC Radio 2 Janice Long Show session (date tba) Regional Radio Scotland
