Toyan - Crimson Queen


toyah

Toyah released her hotly-anticipated new studio album, In The Court Of The Crimson Queen in September 2008. In The Court Of The Crimson Queen is the first ever Toyah studio album to be given a digital release simultaneously through iTunes. It follows last autumn's digital single Latex Messiah (Viva La Rebel In You) which reached number 6 in the iTunes Plus Rock Charts.

The album was released digitally via iTunes on Monday 15 September, with a deluxe digital booklet. The physical CD album release is available at venues on the Vampires Rock UK Tour (www.vampiresrock.com) and by mail order through renowned music site Remember the Eighties Webshop - www.remembertheeighties.com
 
Toyah’s first full length studio album in fourteen years is a contemporary rock album with nods to glam rock and the highly influential Marc Bolan and David Bowie – both referenced and revered by today’s pop/rock artists including Scissor Sisters and Mika. The 10-track album is written by Toyah Willcox and Simon Darlow, long time collaborators responsible for Toyah’s classic 1980s hit singles Rebel Run and Don’t Fall In Love (I Said). Key tracks on In The Court Of The Crimson Queen include the anthemic Sensational - JUST PLAYLISTED BY BBC RADIO LONDON,  Love Crazy (Iggy Pop meets Girls Aloud), the YouTube hit Heal Ourselves and the soaring, rock ballad Legacy.
 
toyahToyah will perform the album track Lesser God in the nationwide UK tour of Vampires Rock, in which she guest stars as The Devil Queen. Vampires Rock opens on 12 September at the Majestic Theatre, Retford and tours 42 venues nationwide until December 2008.

Latex Messiah, Heal Ourselves, Sensational and Lesser God all have striking accompanying videos created exclusively for The Official Toyah YouTube Channel.  The title of the album is a tongue in cheek reference to her husband, Robert Fripp's / King Crimson’s platinum-selling album In The Court Of The Crimson King.
