Original Singer-Songwriter Chloë March

I'm about three-quarters of the way through finishing my new album. Very excited about it as it's coming together really well.

Some of the new songs are centred around night, the dark, orpheus, space etc so there is a kind of theme emerging, but not a rigid one. I've been going back to the piano a fair amount which has surprised me, so there are some songs that are just piano and voice - something I haven't done for a long time. I'm still working with beats too and finding new ways of using piano textures, some french horn, bass clarinet and a lot of layered vocals. I've been working on this album since 2009 and plan to finish it by the Autumn. I'll be posting some clips soon and am working on getting a new site with an album blog up and running within the next few months.

Finally I have a facebook page where I'll be posting bits of news, inspiration etc. I currently have a special offer on both facebook and twitter for anyone who visits ~ the offer is exclusive to these two places and valid until February 18th.

Thanks to everyone who has joined the mailing list and to all who have and are supporting my music ~ I'm incredibly grateful for your ongoing feedback and interest and a very big Thankyou to everybody and hope you keep enjoying the music.

sentimental list calls it 'blissful' and it's going to be played on the excellent Mark Whitby's show on Dandelion Radio throughout December.

This summer I've been working with, writing for and recording a wonderful Clarinet player, who also plays Bass Clarinet, which has to be one of the most gorgeous sounding instruments I've ever heard.
