A year on from touring with Jools Holland, Purdy has built her own record label from which she will release her double A-side limited edition vinyl on 30th September and all other formats early November.

Purdy has now performed at Wembley stadium in front of a crowd of 90,000, supported Jools Holland on tour including the Royal Albert Hall, sung alongside Jamie Cullum at Cheltenham Jazz Festival, supported Lana Del Ray at a concert on Necker Island and recently presented and performed at the West London Music Festival alongside Mica Paris.

The Jazz influenced singer/songwriter is now touring the UK with her "Purdy Pop-up" evenings of Jazz, Blues, Crossover and original music. Inviting fans to small, intimate venues with special guests from the cream of the Jazz, Blues and Crossover music world, Purdy is recreating an underground speakeasy atmosphere with the next two dates being Saturday October 7th and November 4th in Henley-on-Thames with Early Bird tickets from £15.

With influences such as Julie London, Peggy Lee and Nancy Sinatra, when asked about the influences behind the tracks on her new double A-side, Purdy describes "How did you do that is about falling in love when you least expect it or even want to. It's the inner emotion of - How did you do that? - but you don’t want it to stop - do it again."

The track "Too in Love with Love" comes from "feeling a little hopeless about the world, realising just how much loveless behaviour we become exposed to from day to day, but when I sing this song it feels positive and reminds me and hopefully others not to give up on the thing that makes this life truly beautiful."

Critics such as Time Out have described her as “a consummate artist, old soul, young heart, witty and alluring. A musical feast of emotions” and "so slinky it shouldn't be allowed " - Craig Charles BBC6 Music.

You can listen to her yet unreleased TOO IN LOVE WITH LOVE double A-side here. Pre-orders are now available and will be shipped at the end of September for it’s official release.
