It’s getting closer, and I can’t wait! Here’s the latest from the Daily Star:

MY first album Turn It Up is getting re-packaged for an American audience.

The next step for me is to release a single in the US so I’m currently writing songs with a more American sound and in March I’ll be promoting in LA.

The album will be half what is out now – the singles like Cry Me Out – and the rest will be new.

In January I wrote seven new songs with one of my favourite writers, Toby Gad, and I also wrote a duet with the singer from Plain White T’s, Tom Higgenson. Hey There Delilah is one of my favourite songs.

Pixie’s been tweeting a lot lately about working with Toby Gad. He’s worked with a lot of artists I already like, so I like this move. And while I already adore Turn It Up, I do think it’s good move to record some new songs for the US release. Consumers can be really fickle over here!

In other news, Pixie’s also been writing with Joe Jonas. I hope the rabid JoBro fanbase leaves her alone. She’s awesome wrapped up in fabulous.

Lastly, Pixie’s been confirmed to provide support Rihanna at her Metro Radio Arena Show in Newscastle. This in no way means she’s the designated Rated R tour opener, but that pairing would be awesome, right? When Rih-Rih does her US tour (and she better!), I would absolutely love for Pixie to get that support slot so she can be properly introduced to American audiences. I think Rih’s fans would dig her music. I know I already do!

Actually, for my own selfish reasons, I’d like to see Pixie do a small intimate club tour a la Joss Stone. You really get to know the musician before they blow up and you can’t get within 500 ft of them ever again!

So, that’s the Pixie news for now! March can’t come soon enough!
