‘LAY IT OUT ON ME’ – NEW SINGLE BY THE STARLITE CAMPBELL BAND!
“Love is not a picture postcard. Love is tempestuous, love is passionate, love is turbulent… Lay It Out On Me”
Caught up in the lockdown after temporarily relocating their semi-mobile recording studio to Lower Saxony, Germany to write and record their highly anticipated new album ‘The Language of Curiosity’, European & British blues award nominees Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell of the Starlite Campbell Band release their new single ‘Lay It Out On Me’ on Friday, July 3 2020.
With their debut album ’Blueberry Pie’ nominated for best album in the European blues awards, their second album ‘The Language of Curiosity’ set for release on October 2, 2020, continues to push the boundaries of British blues and British rock. The record also features longtime collaborators Jonny Henderson and Christian Madden who are sharing keyboard duties and drummer Steve Gibson.
Suzy explained “‘Lay It Out On Me’ is the second single release from ‘The Language of Curiosity’ and gives you a deeper experience of what to expect from the new album; the honest heartbeat of the changing times we now live in and how we adapt in our relationships to cope with the deepest of fears mixed with the vibrance of our passion. Once again, photographer Phil Kneen captured the spirit of the song on film for the single artwork.”

The releases support the band’s December UK and 2019 European and International tour dates which include The Met in Bury, The Greystones, Sheffield and the world famous Half Moon in Putney.

BOOK THE STARLITE CAMPBELL BAND!
Following a headline performance in their Australian debut at the 2018 Wangaratta Festival of jazz & blues, co-artistic director Frank Davidson said:
The Starlite Campbell Band did more than rock the blues big top, the musical interplay, communication with the audience and get off your arse dance sounds and styles ensured the blues crowd as well as the band had a fantastic experience on Saturday night. The Starlite Campbell band’s debut at Wangaratta was an absolutely overwhelming success indeed!!
A TASTE OF ‘BLUEBERRY PIE’ FROM THE REVIEWERS
This is one fine piece of British Blues from the opening ‘Walkin’ Out The Door’ to the last with ‘Thrill You’.” – Music News
Opener ‘Walkin’ Out The Door’ pretty much sums up what is to come – taut rhythm section underpinned with some sterling Hammond organ and exceptional guitar work” – Sounds Magazine
“One of the best Blues albums that I’ve heard in a long time.” – Phil The Music Quill
“[They have] created a terrific disc that may well become a modern classic. Unquestionably Blueberry Pie is a stunning debut.” – Rock ‘n Reel Magazine
“Musicians who bring back the sound of early UK blues, to near perfection.” – American Blues Scene
“What makes this band stand out is a sophistication in songwriting” – Blues in the South
“Just as the Rolling Stones are making huge waves with their 30th studio release, Blue & Lonesome, along come a couple of seasoned musicians who bring back the sound of early UK blues, to near perfection.”
“What makes this band stand out is a sophistication in songwriting, which, coupled with Simon’s seriously blues inflected guitar work, makes this a contemporary blues album.”
“Together they have recorded a truly superb album that accurately picks up the vibe of the mid-late 60s British Blues scene. Yet this is no copycat rehash – it is as fresh and exciting as any new Blues, but with a serious salute to that older, highly influential, period. One of the best Blues albums that I’ve heard in a long time.”
