Gemma Ray - Light Out Zoltar

New mesmerising album from the inimitable British songbird and
guitar goddess Gemma Ray, tipped by Mojo to be the next big thing.

The  ‘Lights Out  Zoltar’  album was written within  three months  of  the  release  of  her  debut.  It
features a guest appearance Joe Gideon of Joe Gideon & The Shark, on the duet ‘1952’. The
album released a month earlier in Germany to extraordinarily sweeping acclaim, and hit the Rolling
Stone Top 20 chart on week of release.

‘100 MPH’,  the  first single  from  the album, was recently voted Record Of The Week by  the
listeners of Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie’s Radio 2 show.

Mojo magazine have embraced Gemma Ray and are touting her as Britain’s most important singer
/  songwriter.  She  contributed  a  beautiful  version  of George Harrison’s  ‘Long,  Long,  Long’  on
Mojo’s 40th Anniversary White Album CD. Gemma also soundtracked the acclaimed horror film
Mum & Dad, starring Perry Benson. Fans of Gemma Ray include Jimmy Page, Nick Cave And
The  Bad  Seeds, Beth Orton,  Seasick  Steve  and many more,  and  her  excellent  band will  be
touring throughout Autumn and Winter 2009.

“A wonderful  debut  album.  Gemma  weaves  an  entrancing  tapestry  of  soul,  blues  and  pop. With
Duffy, Adele and Amy Winehouse reaching the higher end of the charts, it’s clear girl singers are all
the rage, but few are as raw and honest” – The Sun, “Disarming...swooning. Ray sits between Nina
Simone  and  Isobel  Campbell  and  is  all  the  better  for  it”  – Mojo,  “Gemma’s  music  defies  easy
categorisation. Imagine PJ Harvey in thrall to the Shangri-Las: minor key squalls, straight, sparkling
pop and full girl group majesty” – Word.
