Delta Maid Releases 'Nashville-friendly' New Single in July, Tours with The Pierces & Bryan Ferry

Following on the heels of her "country-fried" debut single, "Of My Own," Liverpudlian Delta Blues singer/songwriter Delta Maid is back with a followup (and EQUALLY AMAZING) single called "Spend A Little Time."  The single, due out July 10th on Geffen/Future Records, is a "perky dose of down to earth country" and a worthy follow up to her snappy debut.  The "Nashville friendly, blues inspired" song sees Delta rejecting the advances of a big shot big spender in favor of a man who just wants to spend time with her. Listen to what Delta had to say about the song's origins:

"I wrote this after having a talk with friends about prospective partners, a couple of them were a bit guilty of aspiring to go out with someone rich, powerful or famous. That was the trigger for this song. It was a light hearted way of saying money and status isn't everything, well, to me it isn't anyway."

On May 9th, Delta Maid released her debut album, Outside Looking In, to rave reviews from The Sun, who called Maid "Sexy, young and with a talent for writing songs that cut right to the emotional core," and MOJO, who claimed "Outside Looking In has grooves packed with the weathered kind of emotion L'Oreal can't erase." Listen to "Spend A Little Time" below and tell me what you think.

Hot Video Alert: The Pierces - Glorious

I was first introduced to The Pierces by a co-worker of mine a couple of years back. Admittedly I wasn't in a place at that time to really get into them but I think I've mellowed out since then. The Alabama-born, New York-based sister act (Allison and Catherine Pierce), to date, has released three full length albums and two EPs. You & I, the duo's upcoming fourth studio album is scheduled for UK release on May 30th. Preceding the album's release, the girls will release "Glorious" as the next UK single. Following the Top 10 iTunes and Big Airplay hit "You'll Be Mine," "Glorious" is due out on May 23rd.  Featuring The Pierces' trademark harmonies, "Glorious" is light and summery - destined to be their next hit. "You'll Be Mine" was A-listed by Radio 2 and went on to spend 6 weeks in the Airplay Top 20 chart.

You & I was prodyced by Guy Berryman (Coldplay) and his production partner Rik Simpson. Recorded in New York and in Coldplay's North London studio, the album will be their first since 2007's Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge. Check out the new video for "Glorious" below and get excited for the return of The Pierces!
