Dana Gillespie announces new album First Love co-produced by Marc Almond

Dana Gillespie's new album First Love – recorded with her good friend Marc Almond – is out on May 31 via Fretsore Records. 

Here's the scoop...

Legendary singer/songwriter Dana Gillespie, with over 70 albums to her credit in a career spanning six decades, adds a new chapter with the release of her new album First Love slated for release by Fretsore Records on May 31. While First Love is a deeply personal album, it marks a shift for Dana who teams up with close friends Marc Almond and Tris Penna who together produced the album. 

Born in 1949 and raised in London in an era of unrivalled experimentation and artistic rebellion, Dana began her recording career at 15 with Pye Records. Her journey in entertainment is marked by significant milestones, including collaborations with icons such as David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Elton John.  A project of refined integrity, First Love – including the first single, the Morrissey-penned “Spent The Day In Bed”  – showcases a diversity of influences that only those who have lived the experience could so masterfully convey.
