Suzi Q >Newsflash<

Suzi's website announces a significant development:

Breaking news:30 May
NEW SINGLE "I'll Walk Through The Fire With You" will be released on the 5th of June 2006. Available for download from UK sites. This is a NEW version and NOT the current album track. If it is downloaded before the 5th of June only the album version will be available. Itunes UK should have the new version on the release date. The new single is also expected to be released in the USA.


It's nice that a single is finally being released from the 'Back to the Drive' album but I can't say this is one of my favourite tracks. I don't understand why the title track wasn't released to promote the album when it was first issued - on the other hand, I don't understand why the album wasn't properly promoted at all. Money was obviously invested in the record and packaging, but it wasn't promoted.

Let's hope they promote the single - wouldn't it be totally great to see Suzi back in the chart!

Postscript

Suzi's single being released on 5 June reminds me of other mandatory purchses that day:
  • Sandi Thom's first album - 'Smile, It Confuses People'.
  • Maximo Park's first DVD - 'Maximo Park - Found on Film' - lots of live footage including the Brixton gig from a few months ago.
Monday is full of meetings at work but I think a trip to the HMV store on Oxford Street is called for on Monday evening ...
