Get ready for pop-vamp Marla’s debut UK single ‘Lipstick for the Vampires’ coming your way on 24th May. The track has been produced by Jony Rockstar (SUGABABES, Lilly Allen, Will Young, Robyn) & mixed by Pete Craigie (Take That, Kylie, Moby) and has a great dance remix by vinyl jockettes LADYBUGZ.

You may well have heard the single already, as Marla was a finalist in the recent unsigned act competition, the Hollyoaks Music Show. She performed “Lipstick for the Vampires” during the live final, which was aired on prime time Channel 4/ E4 and T4 in the UK. The fun and quirky music video for ‘Lipstick’ was shot in New York, directed by acclaimed commercial director Carl Byrd (The creative behind the GAP, Target and Macy’s campaigns) and makes a perfect accompaniment to Marla’s debut single, showcasing her upbeat and original musical style.
