>>ELEANOR MCEVOY

ALBUM RELEASE INFO:

• Title: I’D RATHER GO BLONDE
• RELEASE DATE: SEPT 17TH
• Link: www.eleanormcevoy.com

RMG are delighted to announce that a new Eleanor McEvoy studio album, entitled “I’d Rather Go Blonde”, is to be released on 17 September 2010 [Cat. No. MOSCD408].  The album features eleven new songs, nine of which were penned by McEvoy, one by former Beautiful South man Dave Rotheray and, finally, there’s a cover of “Good Times” by Sam Cooke.

“I’d Rather Go Blonde” is the eighth album in a twenty year career that has seen McEvoy establish herself as one of Ireland’s most accomplished singer / songwriters.  Never one to shy away from the big issues, this album sees McEvoy tackling themes such as alienation, hypocrisy, recent Irish history and romance.  The songs are typified by a lyrical élan and often leavened with a touch of humour and the title track is built around a phrase that just made McEvoy laugh!
