Ira Losco, second-placed star of the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest in Tallinn, releases the first new single from her fifth album this coming Monday.
After a busy Summer of live performances and collaborations with some top international artists, Ira is back in the studio working on her fifth album Fortune Teller, which should be released towards the end of this year. In the meantime, Monday sees the release of the first single from that album, Something to Talk About, which has already been performed live the the Isle of MTV event, where it received an outstanding response from the audience. Since then, it has topped airplay charts on the island, riding high and portending sales success for the singer.
Strongest single so far
Along with singles Love or Hate Me and Driving One of Your Cars, the new single has been reviewed as one of Ira's strongest so far, a fact which will tantalise fans eager to add the new release to their collection. A special treat on this new, limited edition CD is the inclusion of two live tracks from the Vodafone Music Jam Unplugged event: a raunchy version of the Nancy Sinatra hit These Boots Are Made For Walking and Who I Am. It is available from record shops in Malta from Monday, and fans can find out more about releases and forthcoming tour dates from iralosco.com .
Ira sang a glitter-fuelled Seventh Wonder at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, challenging Latvia's Marie N for the lead, but being pipped at the finish line into second place.
