MOSCODISC is pleased to announce the Monday 12th September UK release date for Eleanor McEvoy’s ninth studio album ‘Alone’.  The album is comprised of a beautiful collection of 12 stripped-down solo tracks, including the new single ‘You’ll Hear Better Songs (Than This)’, ‘A Woman’s Heart’, and a unique take on P.F. Sloan’s ‘Eve Of Destruction’.

One of Ireland’s most accomplished singer/songwriters, McEvoy’s life as a musician began at the age of four.  To date, she has released albums on the Geffen and Columbia record labels and continues to tour the world over to her ever increasing legion of fans.

Eleanor wrote and recorded the worldwide hit single ‘A Woman’s Heart’ which was the title track on the album Only A Woman’s Heart; the best-selling Irish album in Irish chart history. To coincide with the release of “Alone”, McEvoy will embark on a 16-date UK tour that starts at the Birmingham Glee on September 21st.

ELEANOR McEVOY “SNAPSHOTS” - COLLECTORS EDITION MOSACD305

At long last Eleanor McEvoy’s epic and inspiring album “SNAPSHOTS” is available as a limited COLLECTORS EDITION. (MOSACD305)

A pivotal album in her career, this is the moment when Eleanor moved from a band format to a singular creation and vision of her own music.

Says McEvoy “It was getting more than a little frustrating being just a member of a band that happened to carry my name. I felt a need to take charge of my music and create it in the way I wanted it to go.”

Legendary producer Rupert Hine provided the space, momentum and the production role for this most original work. Recorded in a chateau in France and in the amazing “Victorian/Modernist architectural clash” that is Metropolis studios in London, this is her most structural musical endeavour

The album is best known for the YouTube hit “Sophie” the mini drama “Did You Tell Him?” the pure velvet of “Wrapping Me Up in Luxury”, , the ode to slaughtered Irish journalist Veronica Guerin “Easy to Lose Hope” and the wonderful tongue in cheek country of “Please Heart, You’re Killing Me” (co-written with Rodney Crowell).

This new COLLECTORS EDITION has been totally re-mastered from the original mix tapes by Ian Cooper and is available on June 15th 2009 after being bizarrely missing from the retail racks for too many years. The disc is a hybrid stereo CD/SACD playable on all CD players.

Strangely, this is her only album, on which she does not play violin, (before the overdub sessions she was attacked and her hand was broken whilst walking down the street on the way home from the studio). Luckily, recovery was complete.

The player line up includes:

Eleanor McEvoy: vocals

Rupert Hine: keyboards

Pino Paladino: bass (Paul Young, The Who etc)

Phil Palmer: guitar (Elton John, Tears for Fears etc)

Ian Thomas: drums (Eric Clapton etc)

Snake Davis: (M People)

The London Session Orchestra: (arrangements Eleanor McEvoy)
