New album artwork

Former B-52 voice/face/wig KATE PIERSON (aged 76 now) will have her second solo LP, baptized Radio And Rainbows out on September 20th, nine 9 years after her debut Guitars And Microphones.

Pierson about the album: “It’s an eclectic group of songs, anthems, dance things, a disco song. Overall, the album has an upbeat vibe because I wanted to put out something positive in these dark times. I wanted to make it fun!”

The first single is named EVIL LOVE.

Pierson: “Sometimes evil love is the only love you need. A not so true tale of obsessive possessiveness and righteous revenge. I started out writing a song with the amazing Bleu with the idea of a song about forgiveness; but when our creative chemistries collided, the result was a noir thriller of a song set on the coast of Maine. And it’s one hell of a storm, so hang onto your hats for Evil Love !”

Evil Love is a retro pop pearl sounding as if it was recorded in the 60s
and Pierson‘s intense voice still resonates crystal clear. Touchdown.
