Charlotte Hatherley releases debut single

As revealed last month on hotpress.com, Charlotte Hatherley is making her debut solo single, 'Kim Wilde', available as a free download.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 22 Jun 2004

Released on-line this week, the first taster from her Grey To Fade album includes such loved-up couplets as: "He looks so good my honey to me/Everything I want, everything I need/We got a good thing going/Feeling in my heart can only keep on growing."

Already a big airplay hit on London's XFM, the tune is equal parts Juliana Hatfield, Belly and The Shangri-Las (you won't hear a better ooh, yeah girly chorus or handclaps all year).

Along with the original cut, her www.charlottehatherley.com website also has an accordion version of 'Kim Wilde' that the master box player herself, Sharon Shannon, would be proud of.

Finally, the Ash guitarist is credited with "backup vocals" on the new International Noise

Conspiracy album, Armed Love. Chaz got pally with the Swedish punks last year when they were both recording in LA.

I Want You To Know

That Charlotte Hatherley managed to produce a solo album as complete and focused as Grey Will Fade while holding down a day job with Ash was no mean feat. Now with that pressure removed, the results so far haven’t suggested that this has been an entirely good thing. Like ‘Behave’ before it, ‘I Want You To Know’ is a jumble of ideas that never quite gel. Somewhere in here is a fine song – you’re just hard pushed to find it amongst the mess. Hatherley has the potential, if not the right, to become a rock icon – she’ll need to make better records than this if she’s to attain such a status.
