Its all gone a bit `oh la la`!
Hey folks!
So the bad news is im totally terrible at keeping a blog…(I should probably scrap the blog page but apparently some people want to read on!?)….the good news is, the reason im so bad at keeping you up to date is because im so damn busy with gigs, recording and potential future album ideas…and im sure you`ll admit thats the real stuff!
So far this year we`ve seen the release of the acoustic album `This and That`which you guys seem to have taken a liking too. As usual these things take a while to filter through but its a subtle little number that I hope will have a lengthy shelf life.
TT released a brilliant covers compilation album earlier this yr which features artists serving up an exciting mix of specially recorded cover versions of their favourite tracks. For me ìt was a very good year`, Frankie eat your heart out!
As im sure you know its the 10th anniversary of those wonderful people at Tru Thoughts and they`re celebrating all through the year with parties all over the UK including huge helpings of gigs from lots of very exciting TT artists PLUS very special guests…watch the gig listings and be sure not to miss the party!
Im now in that wonderful place that is facing a concept and ideas for a new album. Its a weird and wonderful moment that can be a bit dauting where nothing is laid in front of you but have no fear, im basking in the glory of unpredictability, ambiguity and the unknown.
In the face of this moment I took the decision to spend a little time in The South of France, basking (swealtering) in the sun , breathing in the fresh sea air (if you dont count the fumes from my scooter!) and generally enjoying life from a new perspective. So you can expect a little `Je ne se quoi` in the coming months, a touch of the `òhh la laas`or just `un petit peu de France` in the music I`ll be offering up.
In the meantime keep listening, stay in touch, enjoy whats left of the British summer (not too much im told), and be sure not to miss the gigs and events we`ve got planned in the UK and Europe for the rest of 2009.
Bisous…Miss Parks x
