Bone of My Bones (2009)

Using a biblical reference from the Book of Genesis as the title of her self produced upcoming debut album, Bones and her seven piece live band who's line up has included close friends of the singer including The Damned drummer Rat Scabbies, were recently named one of South by Southwest's best new acts of 2009. Showcasing for Rolling Stone magazine at SXSW in Austin, Texas she performed W.A.R.R.I.O.R and other new songs from the upcoming release receiving a response described as "phenomenal". Displaying politically themed subjects exemplified by songs such as In G.O.D We Trust (Gold, Oil & Drugs) and Story Of St.Ockwell referencing the police shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, her SXSW performance was quoted by US music critic Greg Kot as "dynamic". She was quickly snapped up to perform for other music festivals shortly after, and in a recent interview for Rolling Stone Japan, rumours of her upcoming performance at Fuji Rock Festival were confirmed.

In April 2009, MTV News in New York announced the release of her anticipated debut Bone Of My Bones and previewed the US exclusive of her music video for The Muzik. Starring fans across the world, she is said to have been inspired by the idea of "an abstract collaboration with a collective of like-minded individuals all galvanized by music". The video is represented by 30 different directors from all across the globe, armed with nothing more than a camera phone or digicam and a lot of imagination. The Muzik quickly received daytime play on BBC Radio 1.

The debut album due for release summer 2009 was released in Japan mid June, impressively entering the iTunes album charts at no.10.

Making her third appearance at this year's Glastonbury Festival, Ebony will perform on the Queen's Head Stage for Q Magazine as well as The Guardian Lounge Stage.
