WE ARE PLAYING IT!

A new label, a new single, a new album and a summer tour!

We’ve been busy the last few months putting together what looks to be an amazing summer and we will have a number of exciting things to share with you soon, but for now, here’s the basic scoop from Smittens HQ.

1. We have joined a new label! We are happy to announce that we have teamed up with the lovely folks at Fika Recordings in London to release our new album, Believe Me, in early July on 12” vinyl/digital download. 12 songs chock-full of Smitteny goodness!  Here are the song titles: Typing, Texting, Burning Streets of Rome, Turn the Music Up!, First Bus, Birthday Reminder, Heart Goes Pop, Dream World, 360, True To You, Sometimes People Get Sad, Forever, and Year of the Lake.

you can even pre-order Believe Me over at the Fika website -  July can’t come soon enough!

2. Fika is also releasing a 3-song digital single on June 4th for the song Burning Streets of Rome plus 2 new Smittens songs (These Days and Almost) that are exclusive to this release – you can stream the first track from that over at the Fika Recordings site as well. Woot!

3. We are putting the finishing touches on our summer touring plans and what we can tell you at this point is that we are heading over to the UK for a handful of shows (including an album release party in London),  and will also be playing a beautiful Pop Festival on a small island in the Finnish archipelago called Island in the Sun, and some select dates in Sweden!  Once we know the whole tour schedule, we’ll update our shows page so you can sort out where you can find us! One exciting feature of the new tour for us is the opportunity to bring our good friend Missy Bly with us – she’s been performing with us for the last few months and is basically our new sixth Smitten!  We are sure you will love her as much as we already do!

4. There are also a couple of top-secret things we will be able to tell you about soon...

Consider this your official warning – this summer is going to be a special one!   Believe Me!
