French Possession are gathering momentum: first came their impressive debut album 'Foil for a girl in a posh frock' in 2006; then their first single 'Triple A', followed by their successful attempt at Christmas cheese with 'What does Christmas do?'
Now, though, is the time for a gear change. Studio work has commenced on their second album 'Amber Green' and it's sounding just that bit sharper and cleverer than their previous work. There are no fillers here; and no overriding 'retro' feel. There are occasional nods to another era, but in a more refined, timeless way. Elsewhere there is a more current, down to earth acknowledgement that there's a real world out there and it ain't so pretty. All in all it's a mix of everywhere you've been - good places and bad. It's the best French Possession can do ... and it might not be good enough. But what if it is......????

God that's christmas cheese at its best I love it and it really does deserve to be in the (real) top 40 is there anything I can do to make that happen for you!!!
p.s you should get paul mcartney to endorse it he'd say bye bye to his american pie!!!
It's been a long time since Christmas was marked by a notable festive song - and I'm sure if anyone's up to the task, you are. I look forward to hearing it.
The 'things to do' idea sounds like a good one too. One day it will happen.
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for tuning in and your comments, it means a lot that you took the time to tune in... Nervous???? My mouth was so dry by the time we got to Staying Here Keeps Me Alive, the studio just dryed me out!! Have to say I was pretty chuffed, that was my first ever LIVE performance (apart from a couple of jam sessions in a pub). I really enjoyed it though... Great to have a back up plan though, if we never make it, we can always set up a tea shop selling my now famous fruit cake!!
Cheers Steve .. Sharon .x.
Oh yeah your news??? Nothing on Matchbox as yet, are you really gonna keep me in suspense!!! I am one of those curios people who find it hard to wait!! Put me out of my pain... Please?????
Hi Steve, apologies for neither of us getting back to you yet.... We're off to Plymouth tonight for our LIVE performance on the BBC Radio Devon John Govier show... If you get a chance to tune in, you can tune in via their website we're on at 10pm..(ish)... Will reply soon!!! Hope all's well with you, keep rockin.... Sean & Sharon .x.
