.....VALLEY GIRL 'GLAMOROUS WORLD' LPDOWNLOAD ALBUM NOW......................................................... ............................................................ ................VALLEY GIRL 'GLAMOROUS WORLD' ALBUM REVIEWS:MUSIC WEEK:"It is with much joy and delight to discover singer songwriter and producer Valerie Perkins, now affectionately known as Valley Girl. Glamorous world is a dazzling album full of lush whispering vocal swathes and sultry tinkering piano twist. Most beautiful indeed".....Helene Stokes:NOIZE MAKES ENEMIES:"There is a sophistication that would be hard to fake and her passion and flair is what makes this record even more charming. Valley girl is not your every day female artist, she is something raw and unique. ‘Glamorous world’ is definitely a universal album, it doesn’t fit into one specific genre and for this reason there is something for everyone. A great album to listen to in the car, in the bath or over a meal. This ambitious debut album will not leave you disappointed"...Devon Bianchi DJ:"Her divine voice lures you into a melancholic place of lazy days and warm nights. To compare her to anyone is to miss the point, Valley Girl is unique"...Helene Stokes CLICK MUSIC:"Perkins soulful but fragile vocal swathed in ghostly atmospherics mimicking a call from beyond the veil and imagining a soundtrack to a David lynch dream sequence. ‘Addicted’ provides another high light, and another memorable hook, revisiting mid-eighties Nu-soul, like Sade muscling in on a Loose Ends rehearsal...Richard Stokoe MUSICNEWSCOM:"Soft and as sensual as a mink glove, this stunning piece of jazz ear wash, the combination of her voice ethereal music delivery and a huge soundscape make this irresistible an the overall feeling is of utter lassitude as the music bears you away on a gossamer breath". M8:"You can tell she has got talent to back up the hype that is building up around her. It is essentially an album of earthy, electronic soul, with Perkins vocal hovering somewhere between the crackled drawl of PJ Harvey and the kooky lilt of Bjork; very much heart on sleeve stuff with the piano bar blues of the title track, sparse drama of ‘Wild whispers sweet’ and Ninja/ Mo wax-esque broken-beats of Dizzy star’ all outstanding". BENT…"She has been praised as a very promising modern talent. And this is her chance to shine as she does superbly. Effortless, energetic and cool, valley girl shows us that east Londoners can still be a cool as the yanks". M7/m8:"East London girl with a voice that’s at once sophisticated and filthy, with an impressive knack for song writing. The title track boast meandering pianos and jazz club vocals, while ‘ Wild Whispers Sweet’ offers gentle, soulful folk and cartoon pictures is lo fi loveliness resting on squelchy baseline….Glamorous World possesses hints of portishead and bjork but remains a beautifully original album". QMagazine:"She can whip up an atmosphere of sinister seduction"....Nick Duerden OUT OF HAND:"Excellent haunting sounds...All in all an album I could listen to over and over, finding something new to enjoy every time". BARCODE:"The album travels through different styles with surprising confidence, cartoon pictures has a atmospheric b movie/surf music feel, so rare straight trip hop and power to you child rocky electronica, whilst addicted is pure pop with bouncy baselines playing host to its tuneful synth pop credentials. The closing dizzy star is a fine ballad, with gospel organs and a memorable sing along chorus".BOYZ:"It’s all spooky, submerged music, with a jazz feel and haunting female vocal. This tribute to trip hop is certainly not the music from La’s valleys though, but it is grimy, glamorous and British through and through". BANDAGE:"There are moments of class…as Perkins voice breathlessly oozes sophistication and style with angelic poise, keeping you coming back for just another listen". IDJ:"Valley Girl aka Valerie Perkins drapes her voice over a selection of beats from seductive slow mo jazz-ambiance (wild whispers sweet) to ice cold Electro (addicted)"....Dave Jenkins IS THIS MUSIC:"Bristol’s Portishead would appear to have influenced Valerie on this track. Yeah-it really is that good"....Colin Jackson..................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ .............................
