Our Song of the Day is the new single from Heidi Talbot: Button Up is taken from her critically acclaimed album Angels Without Wings and features Kenny Anderson (AKA King Cresote) who also co-wrote the song. When we interviewed Heidi back in February about her album and her collaboration with Kenny she revealed she had been a fan of his music for a while:
“I had met Kenny at various festivals and gigs over the last few years and I’m a fan of his. I had it in the back of my head for a while that I’d like to work with him and then I saw he picked me as joint lead singer with Morken Harket for his fantasy band in the Independent & it brought the idea up again. I wrote the melody for Button Up and imagined him singing the high chorus in his great falsetto and I asked him to write the lyrics and sing it with me and I was delighted when he said yes!” (read the full interview here)
Heidi is touring the UK in November with multi instrumentalist/Producer John McCusker and Irish Guitarist and singer John Doyle.
