Product Description
Gin Wigmore's eagerly anticipated debut album `HOLY SMOKE' was released in her native New Zealand (Double Platinum) and Australia (nearing Gold) and will follow here in the States March 16th. Recorded in Los Angeles with a `dream team' of production and musician talents, Gin's album represents the latest chapter in a story which began back in her home town of Auckland, New Zealand.

After months preparing to record her album, songwriting alone and with Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, KT Tunstall, James Morrison), Dan Wilson (Dixie Chicks, Semisonic), Mitchell Froom (Crowded House) and Mike Elizondo (Eminem, 50 Cent, Gwen Stefani, Fiona Apple), Gin once again packed her bags and headed across the Pacific to commence recording in April.

At the helm of `HOLY SMOKE' is Grammy® nominated producer Mike Elizondo (Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, Nelly Furtado, Maroon 5) and vocals were recorded at his Phantom Studios in Westlake Village, Los Angeles.

Performing on `HOLY SMOKE' are the highly successful and renowned The Cardinals (of Ryan Adams & The Cardinals fame). Full band tracking and the majority of the vocals were laid down at the legendary Capitol Studios. Gin will be touring the U.S. (with The Cardinals on select dates) in March/April. Confirmed for SXSW.

Geographically, Gin tracks from Auckland to Buenos Aires to Sydney. Vocally she runs from Macy Gray to Blondie to Edith Piaf. Five tracks. Universal Motown.
