Once again we are treated to the dreamy vocals of Devon based singer/songwriter Alice Jemima. I've written a couple of blogs on here about her music and meeting her at the Wychwood festival where she was greeted off the stage by new fans who were queuing up to get their t-shirts signed.

Alice Jemima is an 18 year old singer/songwriter from Devon. I've already mentioned her on here before so rather than repeat myself, I figured I'd repeat some facts from her official website incase you're not already familiar with Alice or her music. If that's the case, click play below and have a listen while you read the rest of this. 2011 saw Alice Jemima performing at a couple of high profile gigs, including the unveiling of the Olympic Rings at St Pancras International (where she played to the likes of Seb Coe and Boris Johnson). She was selected from hundreds for a spot on the BBC introducing stage at Wychwood Festival where Elisa Bray (Independent Newspaper) declared Alice to be ‘first and top of my list’. And chosen by BBC Introducing Bristol to ‘demonstrate the terrifically high standard and variety of music in the local area’ by playing at the BBC’s first live gig in Bristol. Radio 1’s Rob da Bank played Alice Jemima, and later in the year, Tom Robinson at Radio 6 courtesy of Breaking More Waves Blog who lined Alice Jemima up alongside the likes of Rizzle Kicks, Curxes and made her the lead choice of song with ‘Red Coat’, produced in the studio of Grammy nominated producer Andy Chatterley and Jason Tarver, both of whom worked with Kylie Minogue on her album Aphrodite. BBC Bristol have been heralding Alice Jemima since her win at Teenage Rampage, Exeter in 2010, and she is a regular on their BBC introducing slot. Look, that's enough writing and reading, by now you'll have heard enough to have made up your mind and I'll bet good money that the song is already in your downloads folder. Well done you, make yourself a hot chocolate, break open the biscuits and have another listen to it. I discovered Alice Jemima at the BBC Introducing stage at Wychwood festival in 2011 whilst working the festival and helping bands load in. It's hard to believe she's only 17, like right now! I remember when I was 17 (feels like a lifetime ago) I was cruising around in a stolen BMW, blasting out Dr Dre and being a right little terror, but Alice is on the right track. I'd love to have her come and play in Worcester but she lives in Devon so the train fair alone makes that one a very hard/expensive proposition. So, to get us all through, here is her take on a The Bird and The Bee song called 'Heard It on the Radio'. Whilst you're at it, click here to see a video she made for a competition to support Nerina Pallot. |
Making your music folder better, one song at a time.
_Pretty much everyday I seem to find some amazing exclusive tracks that
some awesome artists are giving away for free as a special one off
promotion. Today, it occured to me that instead of just downloading
them, maybe reposting them on facebook if they're special enough/someone I know and
then moving on, I should start a little music blog on here. Even if it
doesn't last forever, it's still a free song for you each day that it
does! I'd say the character of this blog is mostly electropop and singer/songwriter but I've got plans for mathcore, post-rock and glitch-hop. A lot of these tracks have a download limit of 100 so get in there on the quick. I'd also point out that a lot of the songs will need renaming once you've downloaded them so I'd do them one at a time. Archives
