Spin: 'Had Phil Spector Forced His Girl Groups In A More Noir-Soundtrack Direction, This Might've Been The Result'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Spin is the latest to shine praise on UK sensation Gemma Ray and her new album 'Lights Out Zoltar!', out October 27 on Bronzerat Records.

Here's their review:

"Gemma Ray has a dramatic flair for jarring contrasts-chanting the title of "Tough Love" in a shell-shocked deadpan as a toy piano plunks in the background, or perfectly copping Beach Boys-style wooos in "Fist of a Flower." Had Phil Spector forced his girl groups in a more noir-soundtrack direction, this might've been the result. Ray has a truly impressive feel for vintage pop flourishes, layered to lavish effect. And all those details are what you're supposed to be paying attention to, right up until the blade hits your back."

RcrdLbl.com calls Ray "a mink stole in a contemporary cut" and predicts "some sort of fame" for the singer, while Spinner picked album standout "Fist of a Flower" as a "Mp3 of the Day."
