 SYDNEY, Australia (SONY BMG Music Australia) - Found your ears pricking up at the deliciously sexy song on Channel Ten's new OC ads? You're not the only one... it seems everyone is going crazy for uber-cool trip-pop babe Jem and her debut album 'Finally Woken'. Blurring the boundaries between pop, electronica, folk and trip-hop like a dreamy breath of fresh air, super-talented Welsh singer/songwriter/ producer Jem is THE name on the lips of music heads in the know right now and for very good reason... Her brilliant debut album 'Finally Woken' has become one of the most talked-about releases of 2005, thanks in part to the deliciously sexy first single 'They' and 10 similarly adventurous and addictive cuts, loaded with a mish-mash of quirky samples, dizzying loops and her sweet, dusky vocals. Add to that her knockout sets at Glastonbury, Coachella and the Sasquatch! Festival already, and with the V Festival and support gigs for the Dave Matthews Band's upcoming 'Island Getaway' shows on NYC's Randall's Island still to come, and you've got one hot new artist poised on the brink of international mega-stardom, with a musical prowess the size of king-kong! Check out what the press are saying and keep an eye on this space for plenty more to come...
