Red Kite is the much-anticipated new solo album by Saint Etienne”s lead singer Sarah Cracknell.

It”s fanfared by new single ”Nothing Left To Talk About”, a duet with guest vocalist Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers. Musically, Red Kite has a sophisticated, pastoral feel, drawing on classic 60s pop with less of a dance music influence than Saint Etienne. Sarah has co-written all the songs bar one cover version, ”The Mutineer”. Recorded at Big Pink, Oxfordshire and in Cardiff in winter 2014 and early 2015, the album has been co-produced by Carwyn Ellis (Colorama). Sarah launches her new record with a handful of low-key dates within intimate venues across mid-June, followed by festival appearances at Latitude and Port Elliot. The belated follow-up to her 1997 album Lipslide, Red Kite is being promoted with a major marketing campaign across all media. Red Kite is Sarah”s first recorded outing since Saint Etienne”s 2012 album Words And Music.
