SuRie has today announced details of how you can get involved with her latest album Dozen [ˈdʌz(ə)n]

The singer who represented the UK this year has posted a link to a kickstater page with a message from her Label Manager Bjorn Dobbelaere saying:

Dozen [ˈdʌz(ə)n] is a concept album, dedicated to you; my family, my friends, my supporters and fans. I hope it will be a soundtrack for you throughout the year, the months, any season, any weather, and any mood.

The page then talks about releasing further material in the future saying:

Taking the decision to create a cover album before releasing new material of my own did not come easy, but having felt the connection with audiences throughout the UK during my “Eurovision Unplugged” tour, performing my own versions of timeless ESC songs, it felt right to take things a step further.

For this project, I carefully picked one song for each month of the year, the two conditions being that the song had to have the name of the month concerned in it, and, obviously, that it would be a song I connected with.

The result has become an eclectic collection, with songs by Nina Simone, The Foo Fighters, Prince, Carole King, Tori Amos, and others.

I set out to break them down to their bare bones, re-arranging them for my voice, my grand piano, supported by a live string section. I have always believed a good song still stands when performed with nothing more than a piano or a guitar, and it has been an amazing experience to do just that with the songs on [ˈdʌz(ə)n]. No drums, no synths, no fancy effects. They remained reflective, intense, and bursting with energy and love.

I hope [ˈdʌz(ə)n] brings you joy, surprise, relief, a release, insight, a smile, a tear, or whatever you need as we all find our way through the months and times together.
