Ella Hooper Announces New Single And Launch Shows

'The Red Shoes' is a rare specimen of highly personal pop rock

More Ella Hooper Ella Hooper Profile

Now that she's no longer tied down with work on the recently axed Spicks And Specks revival series, former Killing Heidi frontwoman – and acclaimed music personality in her own right – Ella Hooper has announced the release of her “anthemic” new single The Red Shoes, with a pair of exclusive launch shows to back it up this July.

The Red Shoes, a deceptively personal and introspective pop-rock ditty that draws upon the Hans Christian Andersen tale of the same name, will drop on June 20, and is to be the next single – after 2012's Low High and last year's Häxan – from Hooper's forthcoming debut solo album, In Tongues.

She'll be officially launching the track at album preview/single release shows at Sydney's Newtown Social Club on Thursday, July 17, and Shebeen, in Melbourne, on July 18.

Tickets are available via the venue's websites.
