Following her stunning performance of “Oh Mississippi” on Later… with Jools Holland earlier this month, Lissie has announced details of her forthcoming single “When I’m Alone” and her debut album “Catching A Tiger”, both of which are released on June 21 on Columbia Records.
It has been a whirlwind few months for this mesmerizing new artist from Illinois that has seen her triumphantly win over the SXSW festival with an unfathomable 10 shows in three days, championed by as broad a media spectrum as you could possibly imagine – from single of the week in The Sun, raved about by US gossip mogul Perez Hilton, praised by the likes of Q, Clash, The Fly, Sunday Times, Big Issue, Daily Mirror to name but a few, and spun across the nation’s airwaves.
