Unfold (Marié Digby album)

Untitled

Unfold is the debut solo album by singer/songwriter Marié Digby. The album features the hit "Umbrella" (a cover of the Rihanna hit), and was released on April 8, 2008 in the United States via Hollywood Records. Digby's first official single, "Say It Again", was released to radio stations on January 18, 2008. The album debuted at #29 on the Billboard 200 with 18,000 copies sold in its first week.

Album information

Digby started the recording process in early 2006. She worked with important producers, Dave Bassett (Idina Menzel), Mike Daly (Kid Rock), and Tom Rothrock (James Blunt).

Promotion

Digby rode the internet video channel to a hit iTunes single, a Gap ad, and a song on Smallville. Digby's homemade videos feature her acoustic interpretations of hits by Rihanna, Linkin Park, and others--"Umbrella" being the most popular--and her debut includes more fully realized versions of those songs alongside Digby's originals. Sunny California pop ("Say It Again") shares space with confessional tales of teen angst ("Spell") on this promising debut.
