Following in the footsteps of Billie Holiday and Diana Ross, singing superstar REBECCA FERGUSON is back, showcasing her smoky vocals on her third album 'Lady Sings the Blues' and touring throughout the UK in January -  February 2016, due to arrive at Plymouth Pavilions just in time for Valentines Day on February 14th 2016.

This is a stunning reinterpretation including the best of Billie Holiday's classic songs, some of which featured on her iconic record of the same name. Recorded at the world famous Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, Rebecca wanted to work there as it was where the legendary blues singer herself recorded.

Rebecca's debut album Heaven was released to overwhelming critical acclaim and went on to sell a million copies. Critics compared her incredible voice to Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone and Macy Gray, with The Times saying that her debut "scaled the heights of Dusty Springfield's career high 'Dusty in Memphis'. Ferguson's second album Freedom was released October 2013 and found her honing her songwriting and performing skills into a record which, claimed  Metro, showed her voice to be “smoky, steeped in emotion and somehow more seasoned that her years”.
In the year when Billie Holiday would have celebrated her 100th birthday Rebecca Ferguson and her band have released her interpretation of these classic songs (released by RCA Records on 9th March, 2015) and they can't wait to take this celebration of this iconic artist on tour.

“It is a bold and confident step which establishes Ferguson as an artist capable of building a legacy of her own”   The Sun

“Fantastic. Wonderful. Sensational” Terry Wogan
