Lou Rhodes - 'One Good Thing' album released in March 2010

Nightmare hippy girl in sheepish return to the fold. New single. New album.

It’s now three years since her debut solo album, ‘Beloved One’ was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize, but the hippy-trippy Lamb singer finally unveils new work with the release of third-solo album, ‘One Good Thing’ on March 14th. The record is said to chart the last two years of Lou’s life, from the painful loss of her sister in May 2007 (which prompted her to cancel her UK tour) and through her subsequent personal renewal.

New single, ‘There For The Taking’ precedes the album and features a haunting, Nico-esque Lou wrapping her beautiful tonsils and around a tearful, cello-busting lament.

Rhodes will be releasing the album through the Cinematic Orchestra’s new label, Motion Audio.

Live dates in 2010 to be announced shortly.
