ELIZA DOOLITTLE TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM IN THE U.S
London-born songstress Eliza Doolittle, who’s already thrilling fans across the Atlantic with her breezy singles “Skinny Genes” and “Pack Up,” will release her self-titled debut album early next year on Capitol Records. In the September issue of Nylon, Doolittle’s first U.S. magazine profile, the magazine calls out her “sassy lyrics, jaunty melodies” and raves that “her songs capture the feeling of being young, happy, and carefree.”
22-year-old Doolittle has been writing songs since she was 12 and signed a publishing deal at 16.
