Sarah Slean "Day One": its fourth album on February 13, 2006!

Sarah Slean prepares to return with a fourth album of scale, heading "Day One", to appear on February 13, 2006 in France on Up Music. Among the eleven original songs of "Day One", it releases a first single named "Lucky Me". In other information, Sarah Slean will be in acoustic concert on January 24, 2006 in France, in the "Tryptique" in Paris. Sarah Slean is fabric which one makes the strong personalities (Fiona APPLE, Tori Amos, Bj�rk), but naturally without esbroufe.

Rather kind not to make a whole dish of its talents pianistic, however really bluffant. In Toronto, where Sarah Slean is one of the figures impossible to circumvent, everyone likes and respects the odd character of this singer except standards and its so personal music. Melody song-confessions interpreted on rather removed rates/rhythms and a mischievous tone, which make the life lighter and more coloured "Day One" is undoubtedly its richest disc and more succeeded.

"By writing my songs, I had at the head an image: that of somebody of cut down, with four legs at the edge of the road, but animated completion of a rage of living irrational. I wanted that the atmosphere of the album feels some, that it is particularly sharp and brutal, like the awakening of something after much of sorrow and of destruction ", explained Sarah Slean. Taken refuge in a hut in logs close to Ottawa, to four hours of its birthplace, Sarah Slean spent her days alone to reflect, paint and to compose "And every morning, I was going to seek water with my small can", has it says "a exercise that I recommend to everyone".

Of return downtown, Sarah Slean contacted the producers Pete Prilesnik (Sarah Harmer) and daN Kurtz (The New Deal), to dope in programmings his remarkable and complex melodies "Bus by listening to in my hut my preferred artists (Radiohead, Bj�rk, PJ Harvey), I included/understood what I liked in their music: the rhythmic structure ", said Sarah Slean. The revelation even came to him while jumping everywhere on a music so strong that it made tremble the walls "I said itself: the harmony, I control. I studied all that. But it is the rate/rhythm which I does not include/understand. Pete and daN, them, integrated it perfectly ", explained Sarah Slean.

After five months of recording, the result is above its hopes. Like Jedi the pop one, Sarah Slean perfectly assimilated the rhythmic lessons and played with the pallet of all its emotions. Mood semi-fig semi-grape of "Pilgrim" to the very black atmosphere cabaret of "The Score", while passing by the astonishing environment of ballade of "California" or the pop title up-tempo "Day One", its fourth album, by-product by Sarah Slean, passes by all the states and all the feelings.

A true rebirth, in which other artists took part: Howie Beck collaborated in "Vertigo" and Ian Of Its, guitarist of Billy Talent, plays on the first single, "Lucky Me". "we needed a really aggressive stamp of guitar. Ian arrived and exploded very ", acknowledged Sarah Slean. "Day One" or the new life of Sarah Slean: more p�chue, truer, more positive "Idealist too. But the idealism was always our only safety ", has it says.[/quote:bd1e70883f]

[quote:43c50f01b8]Contrary to some of her compatriots, the Canadian Sarah Slean has taste. Its many collaborations attest some, such those with Hawksley Workman on its first disc �ponyme, with Ron Sexsmith of which it ensured the openings in concert or with Buck 65, with which it divided the scene and more affinities. Mischievous, moving and odd, this torontoise can without evil hold in breath an audience only with the piano, with a disconcerting and �raill�e voice which points out sometimes that of Tori Amos. At two weeks of the exit of its fourth and new opus "Day One" scheduled for February 27, it holds this evening of it for us the early product at the time of a one-woman show intimist.[/quote:43c50f01b8]

It was on TV?! :shock:

yes on a pub if I remenber...(I'm not sure)
In france she is with Warnermusic France, so it isn't a surprise.(Warner is a big big Music's industry)
On the site, there is a page on Sarah : here :wink:
-> on the first page click on "le catalogue" and search Sarah Slean...

Hmmm, that site lists a release date of February 26th, 2006... which is today. Since when do CDs come out on Sundays in Europe? I thought Europe had Monday release dates?

The bio compares her to Bjork a lot :S

I have seen the 26th mentioned on the Warner.fr site so we can consider it out and about in France.

Betty, I have some dates for france posted in my signature.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
