I know :( Still can't wait for this though, its gonna be great to see Lu on British TV again!! It'll be great publicity for her anyway :)

if she can get in another couple of TV appearances before the album release...then I reckon she has a great chance of it doing well

Lucie Silvas and Josh Groban The singers join OK! at Mews of Mayfair for a gossip about dating, getting starstruck and being a diva! Borrowing a bit of Shakespeare: 'If music be the food of love, play on!' And when OK! got the chance to spend some time with two of the most exciting young singers on the pop scene, Lucie Silvas and Josh Groban, we had no hesitation about whisking them off to lunch at one of London's classiest new restuarants - Mews of Mayfair. British songstress Lucie Silvas burst onto the scene in 2003 with a debut album that sold 400,000 copies, and a voice and style compared to Delta Goodrem and Norah Jones. Now the pint-sized blonde is back with a stunning new album 'The Same Side' - her first new material in 3 years - which she describes as more mellow and chilled. 'I'm excited but also really nervous because I've been away for so long' confesses 29 year old Lucie. Lucie, you had a huge success in Britain a few years ago, but where've you been since then? I've been a lot busier working all over Europe - largely in Spain and Holland, where I seem to be really popular. Maybe they're not so fussy! I haven't recorded new material for a while, because I think my strongest point has always been in front of an audience. How would you describe your new album? This album is definitely a bit more low key, more mellow. Because of the big string arrangements on the first album, a lot of people expected me to go heavier still, but I don't want to be like any other female singer out there. The producer on the new album has worked with bands like Coldplay, and we recorded in a beautiful studio with Freddie Mercury's piano which was just amazing. You're been compared to singers like Delta Goodrem - Is that a good thing? I don't mind it. I really like Delta, she's got a beautiful voice. I do understand it, because I play piano and I've got blonde hair, and my first ballad was similar to hers. But if you see her live set, I think we're miles apart. I think I come from a more soul background. I get compared to Norah Jones and Christina Aguilera too, when I really sing out - not because I wear chaps, but theres time for that! Maybe when I hit my thirties! How do you feel about your 30th birthday in September? I'm quite excited! I'm not sure what to expect. Every year I think I'm going to get wiser, and I don't, but I'm hoping that you come out of your insecure twenties. I've changed so much since I was 21, I feel a bit more chilled out now. Lucie, do peope recognise you more in Holland than in the UK? Yes, even though I've sold more records in Britain, the awareness is different. If I walk down the street in Holland, I get 'Hi Lucie!' But not In England. I could walk around in my pyjamas with a bra strapped to my head and nothing would happen. But that's fine. I live a good life, I'm lucky - I go on tour with my band, which is the be all and end all of my music, and then I come home to Leicester, which is where I live because my boyfriend, Geordan Murphy plays rugby there. He also plays for Ireland. I have a place in London too, because it's easier for flying out to Europe, so we have two places, which keeps us apart a lot, but it's necessary. Do you watch Geordan play rugby? I do, but he still takes the p*** out of me, because he says I don't know what's going on. Then he comes to my concerts, and he'll say: 'Oh that bass line...' and I'll go: 'Don't pretend you know what's going on!' I do go to his games, I'm extremely proud of him. What did you do on Valentine's day? That was a bit depressing, I had to go to Holland. Geordan asked me: 'What do you want for Valentines day?' And I said 'Don't get me anything, be nice to me spontaneously on different dates in the year'. I'm a bit of a boycotter of Valentines day, because I think being romantic should be spontaneous. Lucie, you're only 5ft 1 - does that ever pose any problems performing? No, the only problem I have is reaching up to kiss my boyfriend, who's 6ft 2! Lucie's new single 'Sinking In' is released on March 5. The album 'The Same Side' follows on March 12.

I think the video was made just for us forumers!

Mercury don't seem to time things very well do they?! :P

I know...well hopefully when shes on the charlotte church show tomorrow, they might say that she has a new single out

I don't really care where the single charts anyway, its not like it means anything...and Lucie isn't a singles artist. I have a strong feeling the album will do well, its No5 on the Pre order chart on the HMV website at the moment :D

^I know, I don't get that!

Yep you can! Dunno about itunes but you can on 7digital..I've pre-ordered it and you can download it from Monday :D

Sinking In is available by download only :( I kind of wanted a CD

Posted on Lucie's Mypace: Thursday, March 01, 2007 Single/ Album news! Just to let you know that Lucie's new single "Sinking In" is available NOW via download only. So make sure you visit itunes and 7digital.com to get your copy. New album "The Same Side" will be available in shops as scheduled from Monday 12 March, and you can pre-order your copy now from HMV! So its download only :blink:

Yay! Promo has finally started!!

I agree with you Marly! They need to concentrate on the album really...I guess thats their plan. It says 'various press items' so she must be in a few other magazines as well, I'll have to have a look through all the mags LOL

Promo yay!!! I'll stop moaning now :P Wonder what the duet will be!! The Charlotte Church show is very popular so this is gonna be great promo for Lucie!! And whats this about OK Magazine, I need to get this lol!! Glad to hear that the tour will be in the summer! Looks like Sinking In isn't out on Monday then

^ Yes, that's the way it goes unfortunately :( It'll always be that way

I'll join in then! :party: :party2: :wave:

Hehee yeah..hopefully that will get peoples attention :)

Its such a shame...I always thought they'd done such a great job promoting the 1st album, I just wish they'd do the same for this one. I hope there is at least an album advert on TV!!

No, it hasn't even been added to the music channels yet!! :o :( And I haven't heard it on the radio once :(

Sinking In is a fantastic song...and the video is sooooo good!!! Seriously everyone should buy her new album, its incredible!! Haven't stopped playing it since I got it :D

The Charlotte Church show! So shes gonna be on this? Lol the show is quite funny even though I don't particularly like Charlotte

Passionate You 'like i'm on stage with the light in my eyes...'

Hehee! Yeah its good to know another Lucie fan...other than Becky though, I don't know anyone else who likes her! Most people prob don't even know who she is, they'd be like 'Who the hell is Lucy Silvers???' :P :P

We're at uni now, but yes...we were at school together! We were in the same tutorgroup for years and years! :lol:
