TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘FORGET ABOUT YESTERDAY’
Fresh
off a sold out arena tour with the UK’s hottest girlband
‘The Saturdays’, Daniela Brooker is set to release
her eagerly anticipated single ‘Forget About Yesterday’
on February 13th 2012.
“Forget About Yesterday, with its uplifting
vibe and pop credentials, sounds like the first big hit of
many to come. A natural on stage and with songs as pleasing
to the ear as she is to the eye, this is definitely a name
to watch out for in 2012”. - Gigjunkie
2011 was an exciting adventure for golden
girl Daniela Brooker. Not only did she headline a US tour
for the Hard Rock Cafe, but upon returning to the UK, Daniela
embarked upon an arena tour with the pop sensations ‘The
Saturdays’ playing in prestigious sold out venues such
as Wembley Arena, the MEN and the Dublin O2.
Daniela’s latest offering, ‘Forget
About Yesterday’, is scheduled for release on the 13th
of February, with a launch party at top London venue 229 to
follow on the 17th. The pop starlet will be showcasing her
vocals, performing a number of hits as well as her catchy
and care-free self-penned new single.
Alyssa
Reid:
Alyssa
Reid has arrived in the UK in style with the release of her
debut UK single Alone again taking from her debut album The
Game.
The
lead off single “Alone Again” co -written by Alyssa,
is a fresh take on the 1987 #1 hit single “Alone”
by female rockers Heart. The newly interpreted song has instantly
connected with listeners across Canada as witnessed by the
meteoric rise up the Canadian airplay and singles sales charts.
The song has muscled it’s way into the Top 5 at pop
radio and produced a #1 video on MuchMusic, making Alyssa
Reid the top spun Canadian artist in the country and placing
her in the same company with top selling international acts,
Lady Gaga, JLo and Britney. Over the past six months the platinum
selling single has catapulted Alyssa Reid into the musical
spotlight, placing her at the top of Billboard’s “Emerging
Artists” chart for an astounding 18 consecutive weeks,
garnered a “MuchMusic Video Award” nomination
for “Best Pop Video” and attracted press coverage
from coast to coast.
The follow up single and title track, “The Game”
is a rebuttal to “Alone Again”. Both singles are
connected by a similar musical and lyrical reference point
but are opposite sides of the same coin. Where “Alone
Again” explores emotional vulnerability “The Game”
is a celebration of individuality and self -confidence, boldly
asserting; “everyone who knows me, knows that I stand
alone, it’s all part of the game”.

THE
MARS VOLTA
NOCTOURNIQUET
SIXTH
FULL LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM OUT MARCH 26 ON WARNER BROS.
Known for such landmark releases as the gold-certified
De-Loused In The Comatorium and Frances The Mute and 2008's
The Bedlam In Goliath which featured Best Hard Rock Performance
Grammy winner "Wax Simulacra," The Mars Volta returns
in epic and unexpected fashion with its sixth album: Noctourniquet
which will be released March 26 by Warner Bros.
While Noctourniquet was, in typical Mars Volta
fashion, written by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala
and produced by Rodriguez-Lopez, the 13-track album explores
musical territories previously uncharted in the duo's 20 or
so years of creating music together. The spectrum of musical
and emotional textures conceived and created by Rodriguez-Lopez
on Noctourniquet ranges from the opening bombast of "The
Whip Hand" to the menacing crawl of "The Malkin
Jewel" punctuated throughout by hypnotic melodies and
borderline electro-ambient washes, most notably in the epic
"In Absentia." The bold diversity of the new material
combined with Rodriguez-Lopez's assured producer's hand guiding
The Mars Volta's most confident and refined performances to
date make Noctourniquet an early contender for this year's
most challenging and rewarding listen.
As with previous Mars Volta efforts, Bixler-Zavala's
lyrics trace a narrative journey with a defined protagonist,
this time inspired by disparate elements including '80s UK
alt-rockers The Godfathers, Superman comic nemesis Solomon
Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacinthus.
Noctourniquet was performed by The Mars Volta
lineup of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Juan
Alderete de la Pena, Marcel Rodriguez Lopez, and Deantoni
Parks.

website. For further information, tour dates, etc. please
