I'm In Love
SIX FEET RECORDS

Pitched somewhere between Goldfrapp and PJ Harvey, Andrea Wilde is a
19 year old singer/songwriter marrying dirty electro beats to even dirtier sounding guitar grooves.
With a vocal style that lands somewhere between Polly Jean Harvey and Siouxsie Sioux, Wilde has a natural charismatic presence from the off, delivering debut single I'M IN LOVE with a sultry howl that hooks you in, refusing to let go. With its slinky electropop stylings and distorted guitar riffs, I'M IN LOVE is a song that demands you sit up and take notice; Andrea Wilde delivering the infectious chorus with all the presence and star power of someone destined for big things over the coming year.
An impressive and self assured debut single, I'M IN LOVE announces Andrea Wilde as a singer/songwriter worth getting excited about.

BIOGRAPHY
Andrea Wilde first picked up a guitar aged 15, when she was writing poems about her experiences as a Hertfordshire teenager. Early influences were Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Doors, Dusty Springfield and Joan Armatrading. Aged 19 and armed with Dutch courage, she practically threw herself on stage: "I jumped in at the deep end and just did it. I felt sick before going on and I wasn't amazing, but it was a proud moment." Her first recording session followed with ITV's 'Young, Broke and Gifted,' which hooked her up with a management/development deal and propelled her onto London's gig scene. Andrea releases her debut single, I'M IN LOVE on 9 April.
