Pre-Order Now, to ensure your copy of this special 2CD Edition of 'Holy Smoke'! You may know the Gin Wigmore basics by now... She's a Kiwi, a gifted songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and she has a voice that is raw, real and distinctively Gin. Born and bred in Auckland, Gin is currently based in Sydney and has just recorded her brilliant debut album, 'Holy Smoke', in Hollywood's famed Capitol Studios. Gin wasn't interested in cutting corners with 'Holy Smoke', and so she enlisted Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Regina Spektor, Eminem, Nelly Furtado, Maroon 5) to produce the album and further upped the ante with The Cardinals as her backing band (yup, as in Ryan Adams and the Cardinals). Gin says that the days she spent in Hollywood recording 'Holy Smoke' with The Cardinals and producer Mike Elizondo were quite simply the happiest days of her life so far; "we were standing in the amazing Capitol Studios, working in Studio B, sitting on Frank Sinatra's chair, it was just ridiculous. Aretha Franklin has walked through those hallways." Gin and the Cardinals formed an instant unshakable bond; "every day we were coming into the studio so pumped, we'd stay in there for 14 hours. It was awesome," she says. The relationship was further cemented through mutual musical respect with The Cardinals' guitarist Neal Casal describing Gin as "unquestionably one of the most exciting new artists to emerge in many years. Her songwriting is at once diverse, intelligent, melodic, and soulful. Her voice is raw and emotional, with phrasing far beyond her years. Her debut record is a fully realised statement of intent, promising a great career ahead." Fellow Cardinal Jon Graboff says: "Gin's songwriting seems to subtly embrace so many different musical forms and lyrically, there's often a maturity and depth that you wouldn't normally associate with someone so young. There's profound connection between her and all the great, soulful singers who've come before her and she adds a new chapter to that story." 'Holy Smoke' was recorded in the same way they used to make all those classic records that Gin loves so much, with her and the band all in the same room together, face-to-face. The Cardinals bring to 'Holy Smoke' an intensity and musicality that lifts Gin's work to a whole new level. But up front, singing for her life, it's Gin Wigmore's raspy vocal style that defines this recording. The 10 songs on 'Holy Smoke' -- led by the unmistakable urgency of lead single "Oh My" -- almost defy description; a unique hybrid of pop, soul, blues and down-and-dirty rock & roll -- often all incorporated in the same song. 'Holy Smoke' is Gin's journey, but she wants you to join her for the ride. "I'm in a new chapter of my life. I think I've grown up a lot in the last five years so my songs on this record, the majority belong in this new chapter of life, so they show a whole new side to me as well." If you loved Gin's debut EP, prepare to be blown away by 'Holy Smoke'.
