Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
After two successful EP's and a jaunt in 2004 singing with Zero 7 (she was the voice behind "Home") Danish singer/songwriter Tina Dico now releases her own debut album. Titled In The Red, the project has been produced by Chris Potter (The Verve, Blur, Richard Ashcroft) who provides a well-polished sheen, ensuring the album is accessible and immediate. Dico’s songs are already easy to like though. She breathes her strong vocals over tracks that tend towards the folk-pop realm, first single from the album, "Warm Sand’ (culled from her 2004 Far EP) being a good example of her approach. Most of the tracks here are radio-friendly love songs that glow with Potter’s lush orchestral instrumentation, combined with the occasional melancholic reverie. Songs such as "Room With A View" offer languorous acoustic moods, while opening gambit "Losing" combines downbeat verses with a catchy chorus. It might not have the same ‘chill-out’ credentials as Zero 7, but In The Red is a luxuriant listen all the same.--Paul Sullivan
About the Artist
On January 30th 06, Tina Dico will be releasing her debut album in the UK. She has already beaten Coldplay and U2 to the Number One slot in her native Denmark when it was released there earlier this year. Previously known in the UK for her vocals on two tracks on Zero 7’s acclaimed second album When It Falls â€" ‘Home’ and ‘The Space Between’ â€" both hailed as modern reboots of Joni Mitchell’s sunshine folk, she spent time touring with the electronic duo, playing the enormo-domes of the UK and the US before recording “In The Redâ€. Tina will release this on her own label.

Tina will release this on her own label.
That she has won the Best Songwriter Grammy and been voted Best Composer at the Danish Music Critics Awards is no mean feat, but the fact she did all this by putting out her music herself â€" without recourse to the marketing muscles of A Big Record Company â€" makes her unique. In an age of gimmicks and payola, text-in talent contests and image-first/music-second rock posturing, Tina Dico did it the other way: on the strength of her songs. “I guess it is quite unusual to start your own label when you’re 23 and release your own album in the Statesâ€, she says. “It goes to show you what you can achieve.â€
