Sophie Barker - Seagull

Sophie Barker - U.K. singer/songwriter -- and ex-Zero 7 vocalist (with Sia and Tina Dico) -- is back with her first solo album in six years // Release: Seagull (May 10, U.K.) // Quote: “It brought a great sense of relief and synchronicity – I’d found the producers and band I’ve dreamt of for years.” Sounds like: haunting, adult-minded folk/pop with the occasional trip-hop beat...gorgeous, airy vocals that have graced the music of Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and Groove Armada // What we like: the gentle Euro-pop feel of lead single "Say Goodbye"...the chilled (but never chilly) vocals behind the lushly orchestrated "Paper Thin" and sweeping title track...
