SLIPPER FEATURING ANDREA BLACK: When Hot Dogs Fly (elsewhen.) Electronica enjoyed with a dry martini in a velvet room, oozing that seductive kind of strangeness normally served up by Goldfrapp and Portishead.

Slipper Featuring Andrea Black
When hot Dogs Fly
ELSEWHEN
Andrea Black sings in the Betty Boop-on-acid mode beloved of fey hipsters in lounges everywhere and writes songs with such titles as "Life is Hip". "Blooos" begins "I was leaving myself in the wind, like a chime". "Red Silhouette" commences "I've been looking at lines in my hand/ keys to the future". So you'll gather that this is neither Wittgenstein nor Dr Feelgood. What it is is a "cool" lounge/jazz/electronica hybrid, with solipsistic lifestyle poetry slipped on top. some of the grooves are finger-clickingly attractive
- MARTIN HODGES
Andrea Black: "Full of sensuous confidence and swaggering melodic style. (Mojo) The songs on the album demonstrate an extraordinary versatility in sound and style". (Pin) - MOJO

Bio
Life is woven in to the fibre of each of my songs I spent time in the USA playing with my mentor, the late John Lee Hooker. I like Zero 7, Robert Logan and Stevie Wonder. I love Narada Michael Walden for being so supportive and Gary Katz for his never ending enthusiasm for my music and Benny Gallagher for his sound advice. I have my Daughter to keep my feet on the ground and each song is a new story.....as I move forwards to the next chapter.
