Today is Release Day for my new EP, "Finally"! This is a collection of contemporary pop songs with touches of soul and jazz, written by myself (Hollie Sue) and recorded with my band, West Avenue.
The release is digital-only for now, and you can listen and download for free on Bandcamp.

BBC radio airplay
One of my new songs, "Nomadic", which was recorded with my band West Avenue, was played on BBC Introducing on BBC Radio Sheffield on Saturday! Bless Christian Carlisle and his cotton socks for playing it when none of the lesser radio stations would have a bar of it - pun intended.
It's a real confidence booster at a time when one was sorely needed, so I'm both grateful and proud. Here's the podcast. There's loads of good music on the show, so I hope you'll listen to the other bands too, and we're on at about 25 minutes in.

Exciting news
Drum roll please! 16 months after my last release, I've now ready to announce a brand new EP, called "Finally". The new EP is full of my own self-penned songs, and recorded with my band, "West Avenue". The genre is contemporary pop with touches of soul and jazz.
The release is out on Friday 29th January 2016, and will be digital-only for now - but free white-label CD copies are available to press and media contacts on request.
"West Avenue" is a trio, made up of myself on vocals and ukulele, my husband Brian Morrell on piano, and our good friend Craig Smith on percussion. We are based in Doncaster (UK) and all live on the same street, hence the name of the band :-)
Find out more at the website, www.holliesue.co.uk, or email hollsinger [at] live.co.uk.

TWO new videos
I'm spoiling you today with TWO new videos.
The first is from my album launch - a live band performance of my ballad "All Here":
And the second is a solo performance of my soul song "Journey to Nowhere". This was performed using a looper pedal to build up layers of ukulele, clicking, and vocals.

In other news, my website at holliesue.co.uk has had a little re-vamp with a new banner at the top, and simplified navigation. Let me know what you think!

Laid-back jazz in Doncaster
Here's the second video from the album launch, which took place in September 2014 at Doncaster Unitarian Church. It's a laid-back ballad with a jazz feel, and it first appeared on my "Truth or Dare" album in 2008.
