Hello, Here is a look at some of the early press which has come in so far for the single release (Armchair Generals / No Justice), including my first front cover including a 2 page spread inside! These magazines were circulated to over 70,000 households across the East of Yorkshire (UK). I have in my possession the very last copies of this magazine, if you would like one they will be available to pledge for on my Pledge Music page, pledging will start at £5.00 each and money will be going to UNICEF to help the children fighting to survive in war torn countries, so it's for a very good cause too. I shall personally sign each copy too as a special thank you.   Brutal Resonance were the first to announce the release of my single, so a huge thank you to this online magazine. Many bloggers are now writing their reviews now as well as many other magazines, so it is a very exciting time for She's Got Claws!  Mechanical PR, whom are handling the promotion of my single and album, were contacted by Curve Magazine in New York and their sister magazine LOTL in Australia asking for more details about She's Got Claws. These magazines have now done an awesome piece on SGC, so a huge thank you to the guys there too.  These are just a few examples of the reviews which are coming in thick and fast now. Many more to be added very soon. I shall keep adding to the She's Got Claws Press Page as the reviews and interviews come in. My PR company would also like to give a shout out to the DJs among you too. If you work at a club and would like a hard copy, please contact Mechanical PR with your details and which club you perform at and they shall send you an exclusive hard copy via the clubs address. These hard copies are being used for promotional purposes only. Radio stations can ask for a copy too. Here is a link below to one of the songs from my single release.

Hello! I would like to announce 'Armchair Generals' is to be the first single (taken from my forthcoming album War Torn) to be released on 30th November. Available to download from many sites including iTunes & Amazon, also streaming from Apple Music and Spotify. (Check your favourite download and streaming site). Here is a preview of the single artwork:  I have created the artwork as a TV screen which is rolling and is having trouble which to me represents the confusing way the news is told on our screens, especially when it comes to war and how they want to encourage more anger towards the victims of war than the governments who wage war for profit.
In my opinion the news seeks consent from us so our governments can earn more profit through selling arms and their many attempts of trying to claim land. This screen, like our news, is all blurred and wants to confuse us to the point where we switch off the TV or become so angry that we do not see any transparency and any greedy agendas. The children on the artwork live in Syria. Please try to explain to them why their home is no longer there and why their family is no longer alive. Their tears may turn to anger and then the vicious circle will never be broken, but then that is what governments want? I do apologise for the rant, it is something that I feel so strongly about, as it is so heartbreaking to see families being put through this. I'm sure we wouldn't want this to happen to us, so we need to find a way to help in any way we can to raise awareness of the true devastation and cruel decisions governments make. My second album release is War Torn. You can pledge for this where a percentage will go to UNICEF to help these children in war torn countries. PLEDGE MUSIC The single, Armchair Generals, is a double A side to another song called No Justice, which is not available on the album. I hope I can count on your support in releasing this single and album. Warmest Regards to you, She's Got Claws xx #pledgemusic #UNICEF #shesgotclaws #singlerelease #albumrelease #novemberrelease #albumrelease2018 #electronicmusic #newmusic2017 Hi, I would like to announce that I'm going to release the first track off my new album in November 2017. The single is called Armchair Generals. The actual date in November will be announced very shortly. This will be available on iTunes, Spotify and everywhere you could possibly think of online. It is a download single only.
The album however will be available as a download and as a hardcopy in early 2018. Armchair Generals is about how there are people who have become so judgemental over the lives of families who are crying for help as they flee from their war torn countries. It is a song pointing the finger back at these generals as they sit in front of their TV screens eating their dinner and ranting. I hope one day it is not the general who becomes the victim of these wars, as I'm sure he/she would be the first to cry for help to survive. The song is very punchy and punky with a fractured dance beat, a menacing bass riff and infectious vocal hooks. I have introduced an instrument to my collection of sounds called the Cimbalom which in my opinion is very underrated. The cimbalom was used for many British spy movies and TV shows in the 1960s and 70s, such as The Ipcress File (Michael Caine), The Persuaders (Roger Moore), most of the soundtracks for these movies and shows were composed by John Barry whom was a genius in my opinion. The Numbers Station which is a more recent movie starring John Cusack also used a cimbalom, this film has the most stunning soundtrack, so moody and intriguing. The cimbalom is naturally a spy sound, full of intrigue and suspense.. Armchair Generals is to be the first track released from my album War Torn. I shall keep my blog updated with release dates and reviews. Thank you for reading my blog. Please leave a comment below.

The front cover has been revealed on Facebook so here it is below too:  It is a photo taken by O-Ten Photography of She's Got Claws (me) and a war torn city projected onto my hand with a child running for his life. This gives you the feel of what this new electronic album is all about and how we look at these horrifying scenes on our screens with one eye closed. Writing an album is all about expressing how you feel about many perspectives of a subject which you feel strongly about, and this subject of war and the devastation it causes to the families caught up in the middle of political feuds is something which I feel I cannot ignore. I sob my heart out over these human beings and fatalities and how cruel the media are towards these desperate families who are looking for refuge and safety from the barrel bombings. It is so heart breaking. I truly hope that you feel for them too and hope that if this happens to you, you will know that there are people out there who actually care about you and want to help in any way they can. The only difference between us and them is that we are the lucky ones. War Torn is expected to have a release date in Autumn 2017. Nothing as yet is confirmed, as there is still lots of work to do to launch this album and to get main parties involved to get this vital message across.
She's Got Claws ...X Hello all!
Just wanted to let you know that my new album is in the making! It should be released later this year or early 2017. A few songs are ready to master and the rest are demoed. There should be 7 tracks in total, although it could end up being a complete album instead of a mini album. I shall keep you posted. What I do know is that this album is called War Torn. The political climate is my muse for writing this album, hence the title. There are songs about war, hate and a humanitarian cry to make a change to our political ways. Also She's Got Claws' website is about to be given a completely new design with a new image to reflect the album. In the meantime, there are 15 new instrumental tracks to listen to on The Electronic Music Library's website. Direct Link to my EML album: http://hrvst.co/bnbzg If this link does not work for you, go to Electronic Music Library's website and click onto the album called 'Euro Electronic 1'. I wrote these for TV, films and multi-media. My personal favourites are Listen To Me, Lithium and Smoking Gun. Please let me know which ones are your faves. Bye for now, She's Got Claws xx Please note: All songs on EML's website are under strict copyright.  Hello :)

To say I am excited about this is an understatement! My bio is now on their website, under composers, the website will be officially launched in March 2016.

Manchine xx Hello and welcome to the latest blog by She's Got Claws!
I hope you are almost ready for the forthcoming festivities, it is a magical time of the year as we are about to enter a new year with lots of new music, including new music by She's Got Claws. I can announce exclusively to this blog that there will be a release of a mini album in 2016, this album is yet to be named. Songs in line to be considered for this album is firstly a track called 'War Torn', which is about being in a relationship with someone who has a cynical approach to love, so it is an uphill battle to make them believe. Other tracks are: Toxic Candy, Renewed (which didn't make Synthetic Emotion as it was too confrontational). Expect to hear a more punky aggressive edge to She's Got Claws in 2016, akin to early Gary Numan with The Tubeway Army. For now I am very proud to announce that Electronic Sound Magazine has done a review of Synthetic Emotion! Here is a quote lifted from their review in December's hardcopy; "A one woman powerhouse, refining of her musical urges to the classic Numan/Foxx/League and Ultravox era of synth pop." - Electronic Sound Magazine (Dec 2015) You can subscribe to Electronic Sound Magazine online or buy a hard copy from retailers. If you would like to be entered into a competition to win a free gift for Christmas, all you have to do is sign up to the mailing list before 10th December. May I be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas :) Bye for now Micci xx |
