My third album is expected sometime later this year, and as with all good things it's a slow burn. Nights in the studio, microphone work, learning a few new instruments... it's all taking time.

However, I'm pleased to announce the return of several performers I've previously worked with, including...

• Percussionist Andrey Golodukhin who has previously been heard on the recorded Rainbow Heart edition of "Outside Inside", and before that on the prog epic "Runaway".
• Maurizio Antonini, whose drums stormed through the title track from the Spectrum EP.
• Long-time collaborator Rob Taylor, who I've worked with on percussion for over a decade.
• Trumpeter Ted Guy, last heard on the Spectrum EP version of "One Foot In Front Of The Other".

Additionally I've been working with a small orchestra, and capturing the voices and accents of several friends. It'll be superb to see what you think.

The album - titled Dirty Blonde - will be out hopefully by September with a planned run on vinyl, and I'll be performing quite a few of the songs in upcoming shows.

Love

Jessica.
