    What about "Tim with Hands"? it's that the correct title?

     

    Where I can listen to the unmastered vocal version of BT?

    Yep - there's that one aswell. As for the unmastered BT, it's actually the audio version uploaded to YouTube when the song first premiered.

    I have most of those versions on my hard drive somewhere so once I organise them and DL the ones I'm missing I'll post a link  :creep:

    do you mind uploading it, please :)

    I actually only bought it yesterday so it's probably not going to arrive for another 2 weeks  :poordat: I'll upload once I get it though.

     

    Any of the songs different versions than what we have already?

    As above, I don't have it physically yet but I'd be surprised if they are any different; I'm assuming the ones on Kobalt were ripped from that CD.

    Devil Side single cover is out - the fact that it uses a different crop than the album cover, her logo is stretched and the title actually has a drop shadow though...  :deadbanana:

    Most likely, as it is the same length?

     

     

    Oh, and you can pre-order signed CDs, vinyls, a book and artprints on her website. Link here.

     

     

    uhm

     

    the bundle is £30, fair enough. but the shipping is £44. £74 plus £18 customs fee in Norway is like.... £92 total. that's INSANE

    Have you tried shopping in euros instead? I just checked and it's only ( :usrs:) €62 with shipping.

     

    I've only got around to listening to RWTW so far but she seems promising  :hooker: I'll probably buy the CD/book if I like the rest of her material

    If you see Izzy Bizu whizzing passed you on her Penny board, her Yorkie Poo dog Teddy for company, know that south London’s skateboarding soulstress is no one trick poppin’ pony. There’s layer to this. Whether Izzy Bizu is annihilating you at table tennis, kicking dust in your face at table football, or out styling you, you’ll still like her and that never-fading smile.

    A fan of jazz-fusion mixes and a lover of squat parties and warehouse raves, there’s never a dull day musically either. Not one to box herself in, she’s wise beyond her 21-years, a sentiment that reigns in both her songwriting, vocal and performance, and Izzy is just as likely to be jamming to The Black Keys, The Antlers, Grammatic or C2C as she is drawing influence from Amy Winehouse, Diana Ross and Sam Cook. Having already supported Sam Smith on his UK tour, anyone who sees her live will know she’s studied the greats - and has every intention of standing with them as she releases her debut album.

    Having garnered early support from 1Xtra and BBC Radio 1 on her 2013 independent six-tracker, Coolbeanz EP, since signing to Sony there’s been plenty a new fan in the front row thanks to ‘Adam & Eve’, an upbeat funk tinged big room offering, completed by its epic horn section. Drawing on her time moving countries, schools and the relationships that have entailed, Izzy is a cultural explorer, memories, experience and feelings evoking the songs we’re soon to hear and the thought-provoking conversation she already provides. Wearing her thoughts on her sleeve, you’ll be pushed to find many a debut this honest.

    Born to an Ethiopian mother and English father, who met on a charity walk, it was his career in civil engineering that saw Izzy and her older brother living in the Middle-East for four years, spending their free days playing rugby and cricket before settling in South London, the place the family still call home.

    Izzy flirted with dreams of musical grandeur during a brief stint at Stamford boarding school, where a teacher – on overhearing Izzy singing in her room – invited her to perform a rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’. But it was on joining Ravenscout Theatre School as a teenager that her love for poetry and an academic discipline to the arts was applied. Moving onto Tech Music School at 17, and after a brief dalliance with the now defunct Mercury Records as part of trio Soundgirl (a group she founded with her friends), it was sheer chance that would kick start Izzy Bizu’s solo career:  Two years ago, through a family member, she found out her long-lost cousin whom she had never met, ran the seminal music showcasing event, ILuvLive, who have provided an early platform for acts including Jessie J, Maverick Sabre and Wretch 32. With nothing to lose she rocked up and hit the open mic session, winning the crown and plaudits from the audience who happened to include Naughty Boy and Emeli Sande (not a bad first co-sign, hey).

    With guidance and some much-needed advice, the debut EP was soon to come on the ILuvLive label. Collaborative downtime with her first love (and now best friend) Mika, a multi-instrumentalist in his own right, bore the fruits of the album. With hours spent perfecting the lyrics and melody, a roll call of some of the industry’s finest producers are responsible for sprinkling the final remnants of gold dust on what’s to come. Among them sit Luke Juby (Emeli Sande), Paul Herman (Corrine Bailey Rae), Justin Broad (Raleigh Richie), Ian Barter (Amy Winehouse), Adam Argyle (Olly Murs), Jimmy Hogarth (Sia) and Dan Grech (Lana Del Rey).

    Basically, if you’re looking for the real deal, you’ve found it.

    Her latest single "White Tiger" was just playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and she's also on the Sound of... longlist; her debut album "A Moment of Madness" is out on May 27th (although considering she's on Sony it'll probably be released in 2017  :flop:)

     

    So far, she's released the Coolbeanz EP in 2013 independently along with a number of singles this year under Epic:

    She was also part of the girl group SoundGirl (with Nicole Shortland and Olivia Redmond, who have both embarked on solo careers as Little Nikki and Liv respectively) but only released one single as a trio - "Don't Know Why" - before splitting up due to low sales.

    I wasn't really sold on the EP when it first came out but in the context of a wider album, I've definitely warmed up to it; her label needs to hurry up with a WW release though  :usrs:

    Ordered the Access All Areas version of Delirium - the pre-order tracks have been pretty good so far but I hope she has a few hidden gems in the 18 songs we're yet to hear  :usrs:
