Dot Allison. She has an album and a number of singles already released on the Heavenly label. Check www.heavenly.co.uk... <SNIP FROM THE SITE> Armed with a couple of quality demo tapes, Dot found her way to Heavenly Records. Home to the likes of Monkey Mafia and Beth Orton, Dot's unique sound fitted perfectly. Her solo album will see her rekindling the ethereal flame and fusing her influences in what promises to be a debut of esoteric melancholy wonder. A bonafide singer songwriter who has more in common with Dusty, Bobbie, Marianne, Emmy-Lou and Carole than any of the dozens of faceless club dollies who sing over a pulsing dance beat, Dot's album will be a soulful, perfectly created gem of a record; bursting with heartache and bittersweet savvy. Collaborating with Dot on this venture is 60's songwriting genius and long-time hero Hal David (their co-written track 'Did I Imagine You?' is everything you could hope for and more), Death In Vegas ace face Richard Fearless and producer Magnus Fiennes. 1998, while everyone aches for something new to rescue them from the monotony of re-hashed musical styles, Dot Allison's music will creep up and silently pull you into a world where every heartache is a melody. A place where Patsy Cline sings on a smoky stage with a strung-out Velvet Underground; where fragile, beautiful music can lift you from the blackest mood to dizzy ecstasy and right back down again in the space of a breathless sigh. Dot lives in a world of love and loss, hope, happiness and dreams. You're very welcome to join her.
