Following rave reviews from Country/Folk/Americana media for her fifth album ‘Show Me The Way‘, Elaine Palmer will release new single ‘Elena‘ on 27th January. The beautiful new track (and ode to Elaine’s daughter) is a wintry slice of melodic folk-pop that showcases her natural songwriting talents and emotive vocal delivery.
A celebrated songwriter and performer, Elaine has shared stages with an impressive roll-call of UK and US Americana and Folk artists – she’s toured with Ryan Adams, KT Tunstall, David Gray, Emmylou Harris, King Creosote, Damien Rice, Donavan, Thea Gilmore and Joanna Newsome over the years as well as playing shows of her own around the world. She’s also picked up a string of accolades from the the likes of Mojo Magazine, Maverick Magazine and Uncut Magazine all delivering rave verdicts in album reviews and the iconic Bob Harris declaring himself a fan with airplay on his BBC Radio 2 show.
The new album, as Elaine states, is “a collection of songs influenced by my travels in Arizona, across deserts, through canyons, Native American Reservations and into the White Mountains. It reflects the personal journey I’ve made over the last couple of years, the people I have gained and those that have passed, and the arrival of my beautiful daughter – the light of my life.”
