Lucky Soul - White Russian Doll
A pulsing Motown beat, Marr-esque guitars and Ali Howards bright yet seductive vocal come together to herald the return of Lucky Soul.
The first single from Lucky Souls second album A Coming Of Age, due for release March 2010, White Russian Doll is 2 thrilling minutes of classic pop hiding the claustrophobic love song at its core.
Lucky Soul came together in a serendipitous moment when Ali Howard, scouring the local newspapers for a new flat and a new beginning, chanced upon Andrew Laidlaws ad for a singer - no divas, no faux-American accents. The resulting combination of Alis sweet, pure vocals with Andrew Laidlaws love-struck songs has proved irresistible.
Lucky Souls debut album, The Great Unwanted was released in 2007 on their own label, Ruffa Lane to widespread critical acclaim, TV commercials, the Japanese Top Ten and 50,000 album sales.
Their new album A Coming Of Age, is a masterclass in classic songwriting and shows the ambition of a band who refuse to be pigeon-holed. Recorded in New York with Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, Sons & Daughters, Gogol Bordello, PJ Harvey et al), it is an album of bittersweet heartbreak married to dramatic pop melodies. Songs with Soul.
