• Holly Rose - Down To One Kiss

Holly Rose- chanteuse of song- releases her eagerly awaited new single- Down to One Kiss on Whisky Records, available from 6th July 2009. Club mixes supplied by 7th Heaven.

Down To One Kiss is the lead-off track from Holly's debut album- Vulnerable To Touch (out August) and is a wonderfully catchy dance-pop track. Imagine Karen Carpenter with the sensual disposition of, say, Nina Simone, or perhaps Joni Mitchell with the bedroom eyes of Alicia Keys. In a voice dripping with honey- a thing of impeccable wonder imbued with a languor Madonna would have appreciated back when she sang her way through Erotica. If it were possible for a record to have bedroom eyes, then this is it.

"I particularly wanted this record to be both sexual and sensual because that, I guess, is a big part of my life." A wide smile- "I'm talking about profound emotion here," she clarifies. "I love being in love, I love the feeling it generates, and writing songs about it gives me much the same sensation."

Holly Rose always wanted to be a singer. At the age of five she was charging two pence a time to friends and family for each Madonna song she would perform in front of them. Two years later, she was writing fluent poetry, and by 11 she was hard at work on the piano. Born to Welsh parents, Holly grew up in Hertfordshire aware not only of her valley roots but also of her grandmother's Swedish genes (and if you want evidence of them today, look at that hair, those cheekbones). Back when she was a young woman herself, her mother, who could sing for her supper and a whole lot more, entered and won Opportunity Knocks. Briefly, the limelight beckoned. Holly lived for a while in California teaching music and drama before studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford.
