Tracey Thorn Releases First Single In 5 Years

If there is a timeless cross-generational voice in modern English pop, folk and electronica, it is that of Tracey Thorn (of Everything But The Girl). After twenty years of recording and touring she walked away to raise her family and didn’t sing a note for five years.

But now she's back with a new album 'Out Of The Woods' (released March 5th). Her prime collaborator Ewan Pearson, whose peerless track record in contemporary clubland has led from early work for leading techno label, Soma, to his current status of remixer-du-jour (Goldfrapp, Pet Shop Boys) from his home base in Berlin, although Tracey would assure you it was their soon-discovered shared love of Dusty Springfield and Rufus Wainwright that clinched it!

On 'It's All True' Tracey teams up with Ewan, Darshan (Metro Area) and Sasse Lindblad (Mood Music) to help co-write the music. The song captures moments of late seventies disco and dance floor pop bliss. With Tracey's voice dipping and climbing into beautiful new vocal ranges.

On Remix duties:

Ewan, Darshan and Sasse have done a sublime extended dub of the original (DSE Dub).

Kris Menace's brilliant italo-disco inspired production suits this track perfectly and should take it to a wider variety of dance floors.

Martin Buttrich has really emerged this year as an outstanding talent and here he really shines with a superb deep techno excursion. He has also done a dub which should suit the more minimal dance floors.

Finally Brooklyn hipsters Escort totally re-play the track with live instruments and makes drizzly old England feel like St Tropez.
