Imelda may be an unknown name to some, but to many she is already a superstar. She is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues and rockabilly that wouldn’t be out of place in a David Lynch film) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair.
In her home country, Ireland, her debut album ‘Love Tattoo’ (which she recorded and released on her own label) has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared a stage with U2, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Scissor Sisters, Lionel Richie and, most recently, the first lady of rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. And now, with the release of her new album ‘Mayhem’ on September 6, she is about to go stellar.
‘Psycho’ sees Imelda displaying some of her more disparate influences, as if PJ Harvey's "Sheela Na Gig" had been recorded in the Ace cafe in North London in front of a load of rockers.
Psycho’ will be available digitally, and as a limited edition pink 7” with bonus track ‘My Baby Left Me’.
