iMusic... Lucy Rose - Lines

I am so excited to write that one of our favourite UK Singer/Songwriters, Lucy Rose has signed a deal with Columbia/Sony to release her début album. It will be called Like I Used To and it will be released on September 24. To be fair, I dunno what I'm more excited about - the major label record deal or the news that Lucy's début album is barely months away!

The first single to be taken from the forthcoming album is titled "Lines" and it was premièred yesterday on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show as the Hottest Record in the World. You can listen to it below, it's a GOOD'UN!
