HOLLY MACVE SHARES NEW COVER OF ELVIS PRESLEY’S “BLUE MOON” FT. LAURA-MARY CARTER

EP RELEASE SHOW CONFIRMED FOR FEBRUARY 20, 2024 AT 

LONDON’S THE LOWER THIRD

Ahead of her new EP, Time Is Forever (due 02 Febvia Loving Memory Records / Believe), Holly Macvehas shared a special cover of the timeless”Blue Moon” – written by Rogers & Hart and popularised by Elvis Presley – featuring close friend and creative collaborator Laura-Mary Carter of Blood Red Shoes.

“We’re both huge Elvis fans and were raised with him influencing us both visually and sonically,” Holly and Laura-Mary attest. “When we first became friends we bonded over this and ended up combining our vintage Elvis memorabilia when we found ourselves living together. We took an iconic song he sang and attempted to make it our own – it’s such a classic, timeless song and always seems to have a new life to it every time it’s sung by somebody new.”

The release follows news of the Irish-Born, Yorkshire-raised songwriter’s forthcoming EP Time Is Forever, which includes the new single, “Suburban House” featuring vocals from Lana Del Rey. The EP arrives as Holly’s first new project in almost three years, and what she describes as her “most honest storytelling to date”, marking a new beginning for Macve. Holly will celebrate the release of Time Is Forever with a London headline show at The Lower Third on Tuesday 20th February – tickets are available now.

Speaking on the EP, Holly says: “‘Time is Forever’ is the start of a new era for me. During the making of it I spent a lot of days and nights alone in strange cigarette stained motels, dreaming big and overcoming certain inhibitions. I put a lot of my soul into these tunes and I’m super excited to share them and play them live.”

Macve & Del Rey’s collaborative single ‘Suburban House’ is part of the soundtrack to the acclaimed new Apple TV series The Buccaneers, featuring alongside fellow celebrated female artists including Gracie Abrams, Miya Folick and Sharon Van Etten. The series is streaming now via Apple TV.

Having released two critically acclaimed records, Macve supported Lana Del Rey at her iconic BST Hyde Park show earlier this year and is currently working toward a run of UK headline shows soon to be announced for 2024.
