Red Kite

Red Kite is the much-anticipated new solo album by Saint Etiennes lead singer Sarah Cracknell. Musically, Red Kite has a sophisticated, pastoral feel, drawing on classic 60s pop with less of a dance music influence than Saint Etienne. Sarah has co-written all the songs bar one cover version, The Mutineer. It's fanfared by new single Nothing Left To Talk About, a duet with guest vocalist Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers. Recorded at Big Pink, Oxfordshire and in Cardiff in winter 2014 and early 2015, the album has been co-produced by Carwyn Ellis (Colorama). The belated follow-up to her 1997 album Lipslide, Red Kite is being promoted with a major marketing campaign across all media. Red Kite is Sarahs first recorded outing since Saint Etiennes 2012 album Words And Music.
