IMELDA MAY’S LIFE. LOVE. FLESH. BLOOD CRITICAL PRAISE FOR “Ms. May has a voice made for an earlier rock era— strong, assured and able to open up to belting and keep building from there…the [‘Should’ve Been You’] video turns an individual gripe—‘What I wanted was just too much’—into a modern statement of solidarity…the political lurks in the personal.” “On her upcoming LP, the raw, soulful Life, Love, Flesh, Blood, produced by T Bone Burnett, May redefines herself as an artist with the same extraordinary results that followed k.d. lang when she transitioned from country torch and twang to the Grammy-winning, star- making Ingénue.” “[‘Call Me’ is a] sweet, spare lament.” “[Life, Love, Flesh, Blood is] unapologetically open and unvarnished.” “The lyrics feel real…and May sings them superbly. Great albums tend to be growers, but this one grabs you at first acquaintance. The songs are built for live performance. 4 stars” “[‘Call Me’ is] a beautifully gentle but hearbreaking ballad…which has all the makings of a classic.” “The song titles aren’t quite as suggestive as on past albums and the wild blonde streak in her trademark quiff is long gone, but Irish singer- songwriter Imelda May remains a true-blue crusader who’ll stand up for the things she loves.” “On Life, Love, Flesh, Blood, May’s soul searching pays off. 5 out of 5” “The songs on May’s boldly titled new album Life, Love, Flesh, Blood show her operating with a much greater degree of savvy and moxie… there’s no mistaking her passion.” “Imelda May has made the album of her life…[she] delivers her songs of heartbreak, desire, loss and liberation as if her life depends upon it.” ««««“[May] has poured her heart and soul into her new album.” For more information, please contact Joe Cohen, Samantha Tillman, or Carla Sacks at Sacks & Co., 212.741.1000, [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. “Imelda—having done things the honest, hard way—is an amazing role model.” “[Imelda May segues] into the muted, Laurel Canyon-lissome beauty of her new T Bone Burnett- produced metamorphosis, Life, Love, Flesh, Blood.”

C R I T I C A L P R A I S E F O R“Ms. May has a voice made for an earlier rock era—strong, assured and able to open up to belting and

keep building from there…the [‘Should’ve Been You’] video turns an individual gripe—‘What I wanted

was just too much’—into a modern statement of solidarity…the political lurks in the personal.”

“On her upcoming LP, the raw, soulful Life, Love, Flesh, Blood,

produced by T Bone Burnett, May redefines herself as an artist with

the same extraordinary results that followed k.d. lang when she

transitioned from country torch and twang to the Grammy-winning, star-

making Ingénue.”

“[‘Call Me’ is a] sweet, spare lament.”

“[Life, Love, Flesh, Blood is] unapologetically open and

unvarnished.”

“The lyrics feel real…and May sings them superbly. Great albums tend to be growers, but this one grabs you at first acquaintance. The songs are built

for live performance. 4 stars”

“[‘Call Me’ is] a beautifully gentle but hearbreaking ballad…which has

all the makings of a classic.”“The song titles aren’t quite as

suggestive as on past albums and the wild blonde streak in her trademark quiff is long gone, but Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May remains a

true-blue crusader who’ll stand up for the things she loves.”

“On Life, Love, Flesh, Blood, May’s soul searching pays off. 5 out of 5”

“The songs on May’s boldly titled new album Life, Love, Flesh, Blood

show her operating with a much greater degree of savvy and moxie…

there’s no mistaking her passion.”“Imelda May has made the album of her life…[she] delivers her songs of

heartbreak, desire, loss and liberation as if her life depends upon it.”

“««««”

“[May] has poured her heart and soul into her new album.”

“Imelda—having done things the honest, hard way—is an

amazing role model.”“[Imelda May segues] into the muted, Laurel Canyon-lissome

beauty of her new T Bone Burnett-produced metamorphosis, Life,

Love, Flesh, Blood.”
