Product Description
Victoria Hesketh a.k.a Little Boots started her career writing her songs and posting covers on YouTube and MySpace pages. The videos soon became an online sensation generating interest from both fans and music executives in the UK.

The interest resulted in a major record deal, soon after Little Boots was in the studio recording her debut album 'Hands' which was released in the UK on June 8th, 2009. The album debuted at #5 in the UK and is now certified gold. Prior to the album release Little Boots received a tremendous amount of media coverage from both UK and US publications including Rolling Stone (who labeled her as '...a new kind of megastar') NME, Fader (cover feature), Billboard, Esquire, The Guardian, Spin and more.

With the release of 'Hands' in the UK, the US simultaneously released the digital EP 'Illuminations', which included the underground club hit 'New In Town'. Shortly after, Little Boots released the 'New In Town Remix EP' and the dance club sensation 'Remedy Remix EP'. In addition to the extensive press coverage and a full live show broadcast on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, Little Boots has played sold out shows all across Europe as well as several sold out shows in the US.

In preparation for the US release of 'Hands' on the newly re-launched Elektra Records, Little Boots will be headlining a US tour beginning on March 2nd to celebrate the release of the album, and will be playing at US festivals this spring/summer.

'Hands' is considered by many critics as an album with 'well-crafted' pop songs and 'diverse' production. The album primarily features songs about love, relationships, and heartbreak, and takes influence from a variety of music styles such as disco, 1980's pop, and Eurodance. The first two singles, 'New in Town' and 'Remedy', reached the top fifteen and top ten in the UK, respectively.

With all of the momentum and accolades, 2010 is the year for Little Boots to gain national stardom in the US.

This was easily one of my favorite discs of 2009, and I'd count "Remedy" among the year's best singles. "Symmetry" — another great track, by the way — is a duet with Human League's Philip Oakey.
