I think it shows a different side to me and it’s a track I've written which I'm really proud of.
One of the UK’s biggest breakthrough acts of 2010, Diana Vickers, is set to release her third single with her most personal track to date.
My Wicked Heart’s hushed beginning quickly switches into a loud, captivating crescendo and chorus, showing off Diana’s distinct vocals and extensive range. It’s one of those songs that stops you in your tracks. Explaining the song, Diana said “It’s about sexual attraction. It’s about wanting to be intimate with somebody for one night only, even though for so many reasons it’s wrong, you can't help yourself”
This single is stamped with Diana’s signature quirkiness but shows another side to the blossoming artist and Diana explains why she is so excited for her fans to hear it, “I was just trying things in the studio with a new songwriter, Dee Adams, and we ended up writing My Wicked Heart.
"We were so excited about it, to the point where I just wanted everyone to hear it as soon as possible! I think it shows a different side to me and it’s a track I've written which I'm really proud of. I feel I've grown up a lot since I wrote the last album and this track really shows that.”
2010 has certainly been a whirlwind year for Diana, with both the album, Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree, and her debut single, Once, entering the UK charts at #1. Her spectacular year is set to continue with a nationwide autumn tour.
No stranger to the live circuit by any means, in addition to several critically acclaimed club shows across the UK, she’s also coming to the end of a summer of festival performances, including iTunes Festival, T In The Park, Oxegen, Summer Sundae and V.
