You may find it hard to believe, but "Mayhem", the last album by Irish rockabilly queen Imelda May, actually dates from February 2011, but now May, who became a mother for the first time the year before last, is finally back with a new album after a well-earned maternity leave On "Tribal" she just bubbles over with energy and joy of life. Her positive attitude is immediately apparent in the first single release: the incredibly catchy, spring-like hit "It's Good To Be Alive". The number offers a perfect cross-section of everything that makes Imelda so special. From the classic roots/rockabilly hook of the song to the rock'n'roll guitar lines up to Imelda's powerful and hot-blooded voice Imelda May is one of the most original stars in the musical cosmos. With her sizzling mix of rockabilly, jazz, blues and torch songs from the back rooms of Dublin pubs, Imelda May has already played at the world's biggest music festivals and at the 52nd Grammy Awards she needed the audience to race.
