Through Transistor Project
“Shelly Poole’s achingly beautiful songs sneak into your heart when your brain isn’t looking” (The Sunday Times)
The exquisite pop poetess releases a new single ‘Lost In You’ from her widely acclaimed debut solo album ‘Hard Time For A Dreamer’.
Signed to Transistor Project – the digital development label set up by Jim Beach (Queen’s manager), Dave Rowntree (Blur) and digital communications agency Outside Line – Shelly Poole is one of Britain’s finest musical jewels. Hailing from a musical family (her father is Brian Poole of the Tremeloes) Shelly’s first public foray into the music industry was, with her sister Karen, as Alisha’s Attic and a string of hit singles and an Ivor Novello award nomination ensued.
Established as a songwriter in her own right (having written for Massive Attack, Jamelia, Sophie Ellis Bextor….) Shelly released her own solo album ‘Hard Time For A Dreamer’ in September 2005. With little fanfare, the album gently instilled itself as a favourite with music lovers and critics alike and hit the top 10 on iTunes. Written with Paul Statham the fluid melody and purity of ‘Lost In You’ is a perfect example of Shelly’s album.
Mojo: Sumptuous yet refreshing
New: A soothing collection of shimmering pop songs packed with the lazy spirit of late summer. A fine collection of mellow folk-pop
Three songs from ‘Hard Time For The Dreamer’ were part of a huge campaign across 4,000 America Starbucks coffee shops! Starbucks picked 'Any Day Now', the first single 'Totally Underwater' and the new single 'Lost In You' to be included on a compilation album that was sold and played in stores during the whole of March.

Monday 24th April Pizza On The Park, Knightsbridge – 2 sets from 9.15pm
Wednesday 26th April supporting Darren Hayes, Hammersmith Apollo
