THE ENGLISH ROSE WITH THE 8-STRING GUITAR RELEASES NEW SINGLE AHEAD OF WORLD TOUR
“Bound for glory…an exquisite slice of traditional songwriting” – The Times
Already playlisted at Radio 2, ‘Never Quite An Angel’is the new single fromLisbee Stainton, the London-based 21 year-old singer-songwriter affectionately known as ‘The English Rose With The 8-String Guitar’.
Lisbee was discovered by BBC 6Music DJ Tom Robinson, who asked for a copy of her debut single, ‘Red’, after hearing it on Lisbee’s MySpace page. Describing Lisbee on air as “a serious young talent”, it was Robinson’s subsequent support of the single which led to ‘Red’eventually being playlisted at Radio 2. That support from Tom has continued ever since, with Lisbee returning to play live sessions for Tom, and then performing live for a BBC concert to be broadcast on his show in 2010.
After the success of ‘Red’, Lisbee has fulfilled a hectic gigging schedule throughout 2009 while putting the finishing touches to her debut album, ‘Girl On An Unmade Bed’ (released January 11th 2010). Published by Hornall Bros, several tracks from ‘Girl On An Unmade Bed’ were recorded at Abbey Road in the legendary Beatles Studio 2, where Lisbee worked closely with producer Rupert Christie, whose credits include U2, Kate Bush, Coldplay & Lou Reed.
During this time, Lisbee released a second single, ‘Just Like Me’, which was voted ‘Record of The Week’ by the BBC’s Radcliffe & Maconie Show, played sessions for Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music, and had GMTV News announce Lisbee as a star in the making, before being confirmed as support act for Joan Armatrading’s 2010 World Tour.
As with her debut album, Lisbee’s new single, ‘Never Quite An Angel’, is released on indie label Marionet, distributed by Universal courtesy of Absolute Marketing, and available at HMV, iTunes, 7-digital and Amazon.
As predicted, 2010 is shaping up to be Lisbee Stainton’s year.
