“Then a chance encounter in a coffee shop led me back to the wonderful Diane Warren and she gave me the incredible gift of this song and the other songs on my upcoming EP.”

 

Clocking in at five tracks, the EP includes a further four original songs: Sanity, Deeper Into You, I Couldn’t Do That To Me and If You Go. Big Big Love is out March 17 on RAF/BMG.

[...]“The working title is ‘Once Upon a Time in California’, because that’s really where it all began for me. Everything’s done, all the artwork – I just have to finish the songs,” she said. “After I made ‘Wilder Shores’, people were complaining like, ‘Why don’t you do something in English?’ And I said, ‘Well, whatever I do has to really mean something’.

Looking forward to hearing the new songs and glad there is a new album being recorded too!
I already created a topic for this here :kink: but I'm happy that there's enough love for this for a duplicate topic to be created! The orchestral version (see linked thread) sounds amazing and I can't wait for the studio version next week. Saw her live a couple of weeks ago and she was incredible :wub:

Let's hope the album actually materialises but I'm happy enough with the EP for now. She's only made us wait about 25 years for it!

Big Big Love is out now! :cheer:

 

 

 

And the EP is called 'Kismet', out May 12th.

Hm, it sounds ok, but I don't love the vocal to this - sounds very chipmonk, but maybe it's been sped up for that clip.
It's a big, big chorus but I'm not a huge fan of the verses. I agree about the vocal too, there's something a little off with it. Anyone else prefer the Piano Rooms version of it she did last month? I think that was the perfect sound and tempo for the song!

Tracklisting for the Kismet EP:

 

Big Big Love

If You Go

Deeper Into You

I Couldn't Do That To Me

Sanity

 

Anyone know if the whole EP is written by Diane Warren?

I like the song but why the swearing? Just no need for explicit lyrics at all.

Swearing where exactly? :unsure:

 

Climbing the walls

Hungry for something that satisfies my soul

I don't want much

Just when it comes to love I just want it all

And I'm out tryin' to find it

I want a feeling so powerful it brings me to my knees

I wanna almost drown cuz I'm in so deep

That's what I need

 

I'm looking for a big big love

That takes up all the space in my heart

I'm looking for a big big love

The kind that can tear me apart

And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it

That big big love, big big love

Big big love

 

I want a love that keeps me up nights

Gives me butterflies all day

I want someone to mess up my life

With love that drives me insane

So, where, where are you hiding

All I want is somebody who is all I think about

Someone who's someone I can't live without

I want it now (I want it now)

 

I'm looking for a big big love (big big love)

That takes up all the space in my heart

I'm looking for a big big love (big big love)

The kind that can tear me apart

And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it

That big big love, big big love

 

What I need (what I need)

Is someone to come and knock me off my feet (off my feet)

Jump off the cliff and dive into something deep

What I, what I mean

I'm looking for someone (looking for someone)

Who's looking for someone

 

Who's looking for a big big love

That takes up all the space in my heart

I'm looking for a big big love

The kind that can tear me apart

And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it

That big big love, big big love

 

I'm looking for a big big love

That takes up all the space in my heart

I'm looking for a big big love

The kind that can tear me apart

And I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find it

That big big love, big big love

Big big love, big big love, big big love

Big big love

Check iTunes / it’s got E for explicit next to the song and quite a few other tracks on the EP.

Big Big Love is up 1346 places (!) to #13 on the UK airplay chart. She's by far the oldest artist in the top 40 (along with the men of Depeche Mode), so happy for her! :heart::cheer:

Shows you how far an A-listing on Radio 2 can get you! Hopefully it can be reflected on iTunes, but I'll take an airplay hit.

Just checked and 'Big Big Love' is still #14 on the UK airplay chart, really good going for her!
