Brooke Fraser: Single: ‘Something In The Water’ Mar 25TH + Album – ‘Flags’ – April 8TH

No Comments

Brooke Fraser Debut UK & IRISH Single: ‘Something In The Water’ due March 25TH + Album – ‘Flags’ – due April 8TH

Something in The Water from Brooke Fraser on Vimeo.

Platinum-selling New Zealander Brooke Fraser will release her debut Irish single ‘Something In The Water’ on March 25TH, followed by the release of her debut UK/Irish album, ‘Flags’ on April 8TH. Having sold out London’s Scala in late 2010, Fraser has also announced a headline tour of the UK and Ireland, including The Sugar Club in Dublin on Sat April 9th– in support of the album.

A self-taught singer and songwriter from an early age, Brooke Fraser signed to Sony when she was eighteen, and released her first album in New Zealand in 2002. It debuted at number one, stayed in her native top ten for a year, and eventually went eight times platinum: an astonishing feat for an artist so young. Fraser went on to support the likes of David Bowie and John Mayer, before penning her second album, ‘Albertine’. This saw her success expand to America, where she toured extensively, entered the Billboard Top 100 chart and climbed to number five on the digital retailers’ US album chart.

LIVE DATES:

31 March Union Chapel London

09 April Sugar Club Dublin

11 April Oran Mor Scotland

12 April Glee Club Birmingham

13 April Cadogan Hall London
