• Danielle Spencer - Calling All Magicians

Australian songstress Danielle Spencer is to take her long awaited bow in front of British audiences in January. The release of her UK debut album Calling All Magicians in February will be preceded by a new single On Your Side available from Jan 25th 2009.

An upbeat number, it is a perfect introduction to the sweet contradiction in Danielle's music. Powerful, dramatic lyrics and dream imagery are sung with a gentle voice that eases into your mind yet is strong enough to stay there all day.

The album itself is Danielle's second, although the 8-year gap between the two is down to Danielle's decision to concentrate on becoming a wife and mother after marrying actor Russell Crowe. Yet music is ingrained in her blood - being the daughter of famed TV and music personality Don Spencer, and having learned to play the piano at four years old - her songs continued to find a way to be written. "It came in stages, in the sense that I was carving out little bits of time to write and record, and I then sort of felt like I'd got my musical flow back."

On the advice of a friend, she sent a 4-track demo to legendary producer Tony Visconti, who was immediately blown away. Visconti, who has produced some of the most famous albums of the last 40 years, by the likes of David Bowie, T.Rex, Iggy Pop, Thin Lizzy, Morrissey and Sparks, said; "Danielle was described to me as a cross between Kate Bush and David Bowie. She's got this beautiful pure voice and I knew I was dealing with someone who was a great writer."
