- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Cinematic siren busts out with classy swagger.
Gemma Ray has a dramatic flair for jarring contrasts -- chanting the title of
'Tough Love' in a shell-shocked deadpan as a toy piano plunks in the
background or perfectly copping Beach Boys style wooos in 'Fist of a Flower'.
Had Phil Spector forced his girl groups in a more noir-soundtrack direction,
this might've been the result. Ray has a truly impressive feel for vintage
pop flourishes, layered to lavish effect. And all those details are what
you're supposed to be paying attention to, right up until the blade hits your
back. --Spin Magazine
Still in her 20s, the beautiful and talented Gemma Ray has matured to become
one of the UK's most interesting and gifted artists. Her ethereal pop-noir
draws on 50's and 60's ballads, country, blues and soul, all given a
sprinkling of 21st century magic dust. Jimmy Page and Nick Cave are both
ardent fans.
