Sunday Drive

We say

Ladyhawke's Sunday Drive is a floaty pop gem which may take a few listens but is right up there with My Delirium and Paris Is Burning. It's a re-definition of the sound which led to 250,000 sales of 2008's eponymous debut album and has got off to a strong start, debuting last Monday with a Perez Hilton video post and Zane Lowe 'Hottest Record In The World', followed the next morning with a further Radio 1 play from Fearne Cotton. Set up single Black White & Blue was Xfm and 6Music playlisted, leading to sessions on Xfm An Evening With and 6Music Lauren Laverne Hub. With an impressive press campaign lined up, including Sunday Times Style, Observer, Heat, NME, Metro and Independent, forthcoming album Anxiety (May 28) it's taking great shape. The Kiwi's forthcoming tour begins next week with dates in London, Manchester, Oxford and Brighton sold-out. Video.
