Helen Marnie' solo album (7)

Marnie returned in Iceland to finish her solo album. Hopefully we'll hear a preview or a single at the beginning of the new year.

For those that now hear for the first time about Helen Marnie's debut album, here are some details:
- the album is produced by Daniel Hunt;
- Helen described it as "an electronic album with more of a pop element and pristine vocals. Lyrically, the album is expansive, but the Elements do play a part in much of the record, with the sea being particularly dominant and reoccurring";
- she already recorded most part of her album;
- Marnie run a PledgeMusic campaign to help funding the album. She already reached the target but you can still pledge here;
- the album is due early next year.

I'd just like to say a huge, huge, thank you to everyone that has pledged for my new album. I appreciate the support so much and hope you will love the songs like I do. The target initially set has been reached but if anyone still feels like pledging then they can do so for another 53 days. Every single penny pledged will be put into making this album the best it can be, and promoting it to do it justice. Let's do this!! Marnie xxxx".

Helen Marnie' solo album (3)

Helen opened a PledgeMusic account to fund the making of a new album. The album will be "an electronic album with more of a pop element and pristine vocals". Here's the message she posted:

"Whilst Ladytron have a brief hiatus I decided to make a solo album in Reykjavik, Iceland. Beyond excited!

Dear Friends,

After 5 studio albums with Ladytron and some time on my hands between work with them, I finally decided now was the time to make an album I've always wanted to make. A solo album. I am scared, I'm nervous, but ultimately I am excited and hope you will be able to help me fulfill this dream.

For the past year I've been writing more than ever, and i'm so pleased with the results thus far. The album, as yet untitled, is straight from the heart. I can't put it any other way. It means a lot. It is me, noone else. It is everything around me, my loves, my life, hopes and loss. I wanted to create an electronic album with more of a pop element and pristine vocals. Lyrically, the album is expansive, but the Elements do play a part in much of the record, with the sea being particularly dominant and reoccurring. So, with the sea in mind and beautiful landscapes, I decided to fly to Iceland to record in a studio there. The light is so pretty, the air fresh, the sea vast, that I thought it would be the perfect setting to record.

Whatever you order, the new album will be delivered to you at the end of the campaign as a download for your mp3 players and if you have ordered anything else with it like a CD or photos then these will be sent out then too. Your cards won't be charged until the bar above hits 100%.

I will also be doing regular Updates to all pledgers with extra content and information through the course of the campaign.

I really hope you will be happy with the results. I can't wait for you all to hear. Love Marnie x".

The current status of Helen' solo album according to Daniel:

"After resting my ears for a while have been listening back to the work in progress on Helen's record. Still a lot to do but sounding great".

Someone asked about the style of the new record. Danny replied:

"I guess it's her and I so there will be a familiarity, but it's a different kind of record to Gravity".

Almost two weeks ago, he also posted: "Helen's record sounding mint!"
