Acclaimed singer songwriter Scarlette Fever returns on April 22nd with a free download of “Where’s The Fun?” – the first taster of her brand new material, set for full release later this year.

Concerning the frustrations of life’s more mundane moments, “Where’s The Fun?” is co-written with her  guitarist Chris Moorhead, and actually based on a chorus he originally wrote six years ago.  As Scarlette explains:

“In a way it's one of my most sentimental songs, about a time in our lives when we were both in mundane jobs, going out a lot and having to go to work, hung over. Chris was at Tesco’s Headquarters at the time and when you hear the track you'll know exactly what he thought of that. I knew then and there that I had to help him finish it. Six years later and here we are!”

After almost a year since her “Great Expectations” EP, out last April, “Where’s The Fun?” is part of a stunning new collection of songs set for release this summer, showcasing a more mature, full bodied sound. Other highlights include the epic “Piece Me Back Together”, 6ft Woman (her take on addiction and the lies and manipulation that usually comes with it), and the heart-wrenching ballad “Sunday Best.”

“It’s the result of a combination of things,” says Scarlette on the new material. “My writing ability has developed, as has my knowledge in production. I’ve also been collaborating more with my band. So the whole process has been much more organic and spontaneous – and creative.”

For Scarlette, the last ten months have been about solid songwriting, playing live, and working with inspirational musicians, a lot of which has been done in the States. First heading to LA last April to perform at MUSEXPO and the Worldwide Radio Summit, Scarlette returned a few months later to play for US TV Networks, at a sold out Viper Room in Hollywood, whilst her final trip came in December to perform at The Hard Rock Café, Hollywood and to work with Oliver Leiber (The Corrs, Beth Hart).  Scarlette is also thrilled to be invited back to perform at this year’s upcoming MUSEXPO and Worldwide Radio Summit, once again taking place in LA this May.

Scarlette describes her time there as intense, confusing, exciting and amazing in equal amounts, and picks collaborating with brothers  Tommy and Davey Faragher as a highlight. Having worked with a who’s who of heavy weights, including Elvis Costello, Al Green and Dusty Springfield, the brothers invited Scarlette into their studio to work for two days straight on vocals, instruments, backing vocals and production on the songs “PS I Hate You,” and “Where’s The Fun?” “Their professionalism was astounding,” says Scarlette. “They definitely left their mark.”

Back on her home turf, Scarlette’s been busy in the studio with Julian Emery (Lissie, Newton Faulkner) and playing live at the likes of Smooth Radio’s Liverpool Docks show. Previous collaborations with Julian include the debut single “Crash & Burn” which sailed straight onto the BBC Radio 2 B-list, and reached #2 on the Billboard Breakout Club Chart in the US. With her profile steadily rising, Scarlette went on to score further radio Radio 2 playlists and national press for her single “Elated,” winning acclaim everywhere from the Daily Mirror to  Popjustice. These releases led to tour supports for Mike & The Mechanics, Roachford, and Caro Emerald.

 ‘Where’s The Fun?’ will be available for free download from April 22nd available only at:

The Canadian was performing at West Hollywood's Viper Room last night (April 25) when she debuted the song '17'.

The track looks set to feature on the singer's forthcoming new album, which is due to be released later this year.

Introducing the song, Lavigne said: "I wrote this song about - duh! - being 17, so that's pretty much it. I hope I remember all the words."

'17' follows on from the release of lead single 'Here's To Never Growing Up', which is being released as a single in the UK on June 23.

As previously reported, Lavigne recently revealed that she and husband-to-be Chad Kroeger have had matching tattoos inked.

Having worked with renowned hit maker John McLaughlin (Sandi Tom and Echo and the Bunny Men) on the title track, it certainly has an anthemic song structure, and is sure to be a big hit. Despite their youth, the EP is a subtle display of maturity and strength. Sitting comfortably within the pop-rock genre, Miccoli’s sound is characterized by strong guitar melodies and subtle, hauntingly beautiful vocal harmonies. For this reason, they have been compared to both Snow Patrol and Cold Play on several different occasions.

During their teenage years, when the idea of a band was still being formulated, the brothers worked backstage as roadies and runners at one of Birmingham’s major arenas;  where they were inspired by some of the greatest acts of the last ten years to develop their own music and transform their musical aspirations into a reality. Certainly, their musical influences (which include Sting, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac and Crosby Stills and Nash, amongst others) have had an impact on the distinctive sound they have become known for today.
