No one else on earth but I have been compared to Kate Bush, Bjork, PJ Harvey, Portishead, The Sundays, Sneaker Pimps, Lambchop, Mew, Shirley Bassey, The Pixies, Madonna, Beth Orton and the KLF!
South Wales singer-songwriter Volenté returns with her long awaited second album entitled "Butterflies Fall Away". After critical acclaim for her debut album "Cold Clean", Volenté returns with this new illuminating album.
Compared by critics to the likes of Bjork, cult indie favourites the Sundays, Lambchop and Kate Bush, this album presents us with Volenté's thoughts on life, love and loss over twelve haunting tracks, all written, produced, arranged and performed by Volenté herself.
Since starting out as a session singer in London in the late -1990s, and after having collaborated on many musical projects, South African born Volenté has developed her own personal style as heard on Butterflies Fall Away and will throw off the shackles of being studio-bound to play live at a number of select gigs throughout 2008.
To hear some of the tracks from the album, surf to: www.myspace.com/volentelloyd. The album is released in the UK from 21.07.08 and will be available online from digital shops such as itunes throughout the world from the same date.
Volenté album launches:
Sat, June 14 - Le Pub, Newport
Mon, June 23 - Monkey Café, Swansea
Sat, June 28 – 1pm Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff
Thu, July 24 – Buffalo Bar, Cardiff
Fri, October 31 - Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay
