Default any Nerina Pallot fans?

Anyone likes Nerina Pallot?

I absolutely adore her. She has the full package: she can write songs, she has some degree in English so she can come up with some smart lyrics, and besides, she looks gorgeous ☺

I was a bit reticent in the beggining, cos there's so many girls-with-a-piano around, and I thought, meh another one, but she's really unique in many ways...

I really liked her album Fires and songs like Everyone’s Gone to War, Idaho, Sophia… so I’m really excited for album 3, which is finally called The Graduate, out Oct 5, preceeded by the single ‘Real Late Starter’ out on Sept 28

Everybody’s gone to War video:

Sophia live at the BBC:

and Idaho live at the recent Scala gig:

and I love this interview with Russel Brand in which she looks more gorgeous than ever ☺ and a little bit like our Lisa, don't you think????????????????????

Sophia is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard, but otherwise I never managed, or tried very hard, to get into her...

Every week from now until the release of The Graduate in October, Nerina will post a video on her site of her performing a song from the album live and acoustic.

The first is "When Did I Become Such A Bitch?" Glad it made the album!

It is at www.NerinaPallot.tv which is relaunching in full in August.

I didn't know about her before this. I like her. I think I prefer the more acoustic stuff as supposed to the more poppy stuff. the songs are good though.

I just read this and thought some of our super-talented eskimos might try this:

WIN THE CHANCE TO SUPPORT NERINA AT THE ICA IN LONDON ON OCT 21st 2009.
Simply post your own musical version of Real Late Starter as video response to this episode. at Nerina's youtube channel. You could do it as a band, on singing with a guitar , on the Ukelele, on a bass, harmonica, anything you like and we will choose the winning performer to play a 20 minute opening support slot for Nerina at the ICA.

Nerina is doing something very inventive that I wish more artists would try. So for 6 weeks, she's doing live gigs from her living room that are streamed live as they happen and she does rare songs, requests, covers, Q&A with fans... Tune in every Monday from 10-11pm UK time

here's Nerina covering Winter by Tori Amos:
