Flame haired Northern Irish singer-songwriter, Janet Devlin introduced herself to North America with her debut album ‘Running With Scissors,’ which was released on February 10th, 2015 via OK!Good Records. The 10-track album is full of folk-driven pop songs and heart touching ballads, showcasing Janet’s unique and enchanting vocals, which first caught the public’s attention on Series 8 of The UK X-Factor in 2011.
Originally released in the UK in 2014, ‘Running With Scissors’ hit Number 1 on the Official UK Independent Album Charts. Mainly self-penned by Janet and recorded in a 6-weeks, the debut album also features co-writes with Newton Faulkner (“Creatures of The Night” and “Hide And Seek”) and Jack Savoretti (“Delicate”), alongside a surprising cover of The Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love”.
Influences ranging from Imogen Heap, Turin Brakes, Adele, Mumford & Sons, Avril Lavigne, Regina Spektor and Florence & The Machine can be heard within this well-produced album full of rolling percussion, lush harmonies, string sections and acoustic guitars. There’s even a hint of Jack Johnson thrown in there on the track “Lifeboat”, which features jaunty offbeat guitars. ‘Running With Scissors’ is an album about growing up, becoming independent and dealing with a whole range of new emotions.
