Although she laughs as she says it, Petra Jean Phillipson isn’t joking when she says she “wants to pull people all over the place emotionally” with her music. Listening to Notes On Love, this 32-year-old singer-songwriter’s exceptional debut album, you can see what she means. Records this honest and affecting are rare, but records which ensnare you from the start and leave you craving more, as this one does, are rarer still. Make no mistake; Notes On Love is a dark and bewitching album from a major new talent set for great things. Petra is the first to admit it’s a “heavy” record, not just because of its intimate, defiant tone and deeply personal lyrics, but because she’s had plenty of experiences to draw from. Music was her first love and at 8 she formed a band at school in Ashford, Kent. Over the years she’s honed her craft in countless combos across the country, providing vocals for like-minded musicians such as Martina Topley-Bird, The Beta Band, Mad Professor, David Holmes, Marc Almond, Grand Drive and assorted hip hop acts in New York and London. “I’ve always been around really interesting people who are good at what they do.” Writing constantly and determined to one day carve a solo career, Petra has built up a stunning body of songs which form Notes On Love. Recorded at the end of last year in London’s Mayfair Studios with her pal Si Tong, once guitarist in The Verve, the album closes an eventful chapter in Petra’s life. “When I started writing this record eight years ago, the same time I moved to London, it was just voice and guitar with another guitar… and that was it”. If her soul-rich purr sounds familiar (there are shades of Billie Holiday) that’s because three years ago she found a kind of fame fronting The Free Association, that psychedelic punk-funk ensemble helmed by her producer friend, David Holmes, who lately scored Ocean’s Twelve. She met him through Martina Topley-Bird, a close friend who lived round the corner from her London home. One day he phoned her to ask if she fancied recording some vocals in LA with him. She went for a week and ended up staying three months. The Free Association didn’t sell stacks of records but the group promoted the LP heavily on TV and the road. Petra appeared on Later… With Jools Holland and played Glastonbury and football stadia in Europe. As much as she enjoyed the attention, after a while it sent her loopy. “You’re in this bubble, getting driven everywhere and you’re not treated like a human being because people think you’re a pop star. Your family goes weird, your friends go weird, they fall out with you. Everyone goes weird.” In-between touring and still suffering the effects, Petra retreated to a studio in Devon with producers Rob Ellis and Head to record a version of her album, however, she wasn’t happy with the results and the sessions were aborted. Ellis came to prominence as the drummer and producer of Polly Harvey’s debut, Dry, a record that some might propose shares certain qualities with Notes On Love: a raw, bluesy, confrontational approach to song writing, for one. "The most important thing I learnt at the time was that no one gave P J Harvey that sound apart from Polly. It taught me that I needed to play more of the instruments myself. It was the only way I was to find my authentic sound and Si really helped me do that." In her childhood Petra lived for a spell in Australia, on returning to Ashford, she found she didn’t fit in with the kids she’d grown up with. As a teenager into hip hop – KRS-1 was a favourite – she’d nip up to London to check out what was going on in the clubs and who was wearing what, then catch the milk train home. “I think music really saved me in my teens. It takes you out of yourself, it’s a great distraction.” Mainly, like most inquisitive teens, she just wanted to escape her hometown. She took a year’s art foundation course at St. Martin’s but loathed her pretentious peers, then enrolled in an art degree in Bath where she produced and installations. Today she works as a conservator at St. Paul’s Cathedral. While in Bath she ran a hip hop night called The Swamp where she would play a difficult mix of music, from Hazel O’Connor and the Beastie Boys to Blondie and The Specials, then going back to America for a Horse with No Name. She then learnt her trade in “all girl punk funk line ups” attracting interest from Fierce Panda, nailing vocals in one take and perfecting her guitar playing while travelling across the globe. Falling particularly in love with New York, she tried to move there in order to make a record with the credible indie label Mush records, however, it wasn’t to be and her adventures across the Atlantic only fuelled her desire to write her own material. Once, on her 23rd birthday, she asked a stranger for directions to a restaurant for a celebratory meal. That person turned out to be that quintessential Englishman, Quentin Crisp, whom she adored. Five years on in the same city, she decided to ring him up and take him to lunch, as was customary for Crisp aficionados during his penurious twilight years. “I got his number from the phone book. Hello my name’s Petra, would you like to have lunch? And he’s like, ‘Oh my dear darling!’ and then gave me the diner address and said, ‘I’ll be on parade like a Dutch prostitute!’ He goes to the same place every day and you just pay for his lunch, very cheap. He was really humble and lovely.” Ask Petra why she thinks other artists like working with her, she says: “Because I just get really excited and enthusiastic. I like work, I love music and film, all those things, I really love them. And I love making things and I’m a bit crazy. I have to keep doing things otherwise I go totally mad, which means a lot gets made.” Now, with Notes On Love, a record that easily eclipses all she’s done before, Petra can finally enjoy success on her own terms.

I'm Lying The sky is black and turns into red Like I never saw before and like I'll never forget And rivers wiggle like wet worms left out to dry So watch me sip the bubbles down To keep me loose to keep me in mind And I'm lying every breath that's mine Shallow souls ride across the line Turn your back on morals Use insight still lying I'm lying every breath that's mine No taste no future still lying There's no saccharin substitute sweet enough To reduce the hurt I'm feeling now And another few little hours I'll turn tears into hate somehow And I'm lying every breath that's mine Shallow souls ride across the line Turn your back on morals Use insight still lying I'm lying every breath that's mine No taste no future still lying Little truth will come good It'll come back to you now I'm looking for some good To come out of me Don't leave me now And I'm lying every breath that's mine Shallow souls ride across the line Turn your back on morals Use insight still lying I'm lying through every breath that's mine No taste no future still lying And I'm lying every breath that's mine Shallow souls ride across the line Turn your back on morals Use insight still lying I‘m lying every breath that's mine No taste no future still lying Play Play Turn me down break me round Far from the big city I'm looking for some charm Not in a charmless city Place my face in a magazine It could change society There's only place I wanna be Is sitting on the sea Only place I wanna be Is sitting on the sea Play oh play all the concrete falls away Just stay oh stay out here on a dark day Play play all the concrete falls away Just stay oh stay out here on a dark day Take me down and wash me round My soul into the sea Clean or dirty water It's where I wanna be Take me down and wash me round My soul into the sea Can't see through walls of water Crashing over me See through walls of water Crashing over me Play play all the concrete falls away Just stay oh stay out here on a dark day Play play all the concrete falls away Just stay oh stay out here on a dark day Into My Arms (Nick Cave) I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know darling that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head Leave you as you are And if he felt he had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that‘s true But if I did I would summon them together Ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms But I believe in love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning And make a journey bright and pure That he'll keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms Into my arms oh Lord into my arms On Me Jack You seem so distant I can‘t hardly hear you Close your eyes Jack begged I'm building an image of me Lying on top of you Close your eyes Jack begged Close your eyes Jack begged You're too far away and the pain is distracting My mind tricks my heart Are you lying or acting The wheels roll for miles And still I can not see you Close your eyes Jack begged I'm drinking as fast as I can It ain‘t healing Close your eyes Jack begged Close your eyes Jack begged Close your eyes Jack begged The colour you left in the flowers is falling (hmm hmm) You told me you'd be back by sun's dawning (hmm hmm) You're making promises that you're not keeping (hmm hmm) The willow is weeping tears of mourning (hmm hmm) Close your eyes Jack begged Soon be back in your hand So call your invisible land (?) Now drown all your tears in my bed Close your eyes Jack begged Soon be back in your hand So call your invisible land (?) Now drown all your tears in my bed Drown all your tears in my bed Drown all your tears in my bed Drown all your tears in my bed Wild Fire One, two, three, four He believes in his fingertips That's where he keeps his love And even though mind says he's no good for you Caution just run of luck Need as I'm being (?) ?? a world since you fall as he let you touch (?) It's too late to guide your heart Against his gentle crouch You see they say we live and learn I say wild fire gets you burned You see they say we live and learn I say wild fire gets you burned Only birds could sing a love song To tell of his milk soft skin The beauty of his eyes when closed His lungs when he breaths in The vastness of the lonely heart Not worthy to let in Eyes don't see the one that watches them While they're asleep Limbs don't feel the hands that Hold them close His visions blurred by dreams of oblivion Visions blurred by dreams of oblivion You see they say we live and learn I say wild fire gets you burned You see there's much to learn I say wild fire gets you burned You see there's much to learn I say wild fire gets you burned Cradle Of Your Smile Be near silence sings to me Been alone too long Without a tiny glimpse of he Share your luck for one day And I'll carry on through dark mornings without you I‘m kissing lonesome in the face Every night he sits with me And tells me of forgotten grace Plundered through another phase Barricades are down So what can you bring me The push becomes a shove For the love that never comes But the thing we all await We all await I long to be nowhere But in the cradle of your smile In the cradle of your smile I'm missing somewhere else to go Where nothing else exists I'm looking to be outside my soul Pictured love in many ways Tried my hand at tricks and played But the talents of ten men can‘t keep me I'm walking a path that‘s very fine Though Solis is here On the ladder that I climb I‘m swimming in the purple haze Gathering stories along the way Soft side come please me The push becomes a shove For the love that never comes But the thing we all await We all await I long to be nowhere The push becomes a shove Still I cannot tell Still I cannot tell Still I hold my tongue Still I hold my tongue The push becomes a shove Love that never comes But the thing we all await We all await I long to be nowhere But in the cradle of your smile In the cradle of your smile
