If you’re wondering how they did it, here’s a little film about the making of the new music video for A Broken Heart Can Heal…

Out today! The new music video for A Broken Heart Can Heal!

You can buy A Broken Heart Can Heal as part of the “Us And The Darkness” EP here.
OR, very excitingly, also out today is the We Are Folk Vol 1 compilation, featuring my fellow Ed Sheeran support act, Passenger, along with Ruarri Joseph, The Bonfire Band and many more

I spent the most glorious day of the year so far in the sepulchral, hipster church of too-cool that is Dalston’s Boys Club - bristling with taxidermy birds, mannequins and stacks of darkly smudged oil paintings against the walls - with sunlight jealously peeping through the gothic scraps of black sheet on the windows at the camera and lights glinting in the gloom. This was how I filmed an exclusive version of Pirates And Diamonds for Spine TV’s March issue of their Stolen Moments series. Here is the film, produced and directed by Dan Canyon and assisted by Jackson Ducasse.

Also featured in this month’s issue are artist Yuko Michishita explaining her position regarding insects - dead or alive, Lucy Rose singing a beautiful version of ‘Scar’ and artist Paul Fryer speaking about the responsibility of power. http://www.spinetv.net/stolenmoments

I’ve just found out I’m a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, chosen by judges including Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, Regina Spektor, Adele and Robert Smith (The Cure)!… Well done to all the winners, truly worldwide.

This is the song they liked:

Dial D For Denial by Fiona Bevan by fionabevan

You can buy the song on itunes here!

This was my encore at The Workshop under Roadtrip on Old St last week. It’s a new song, unrecorded and so far almost completely unheard by humankind.

“Kiss Chase For Cupid” is a story about the slap-dash merry-go-round chase of love.

Thanks to Jon Barker for the video!

Lyrics: Kiss Chase For Cupid

I saw him from a distance lying down
In pain or pleasure, wounded by a thorn
I stopped to help but cupid’s bow was drawn
I didn’t stand a chance - my heart was torn - - -
But this man loves another…

Cupid you don’t care if you miss the mark
Your games rearrange the tangled hearts
Change the partners in the dance

Such a kiss, but oh it’s such a mess!
Everything you touch ends up like this
You draw your bow and arrow but you miss
Your aim is careless and we’re delirious…

Cupid you’re a crazy little boy
Racing wild and chasing fickle joy
Why d’ya never stick around to see
The consequences of your foolery

My man loves another - such a mess
Everything you touch ends up like this
You draw your bow and arrow but you miss
Your aim is careless and we’re delirious

Cupid, look at what you did
We pick up the pace when you say we should
What’s the use of this pair of puckered lips
And what’s the good of cupid’s chase
Without a kiss?

He tracked me down in meadows where I lay
By silver streams and bales of golden hay
Planted kisses on my sleeping face
Before I had a chance to run away

The one who loves me knows I’m such a mess
Everything you touch ends up like this
You draw your bow and arrow but you miss
Your aim is careless and we’re delirious

For such a kiss
Such a kiss
And without a kiss
What’s all this?!

new video up on youtube! K Anderson and Fiona Bevan have been channeling Alicia Keys

Last year I was involved in the making of “Life Goes On”, a film directed by Sangeeta Datta, starring Sharmila Tagore, Soha Ali Khan, Om Puri and Girish Karnad.
I co-wrote some of the film’s music with composer and sarod player Soumik Datta, www.myspace.com/soumikdatta and I also had a cameo role in the film, playing and singing in a bar.
Life Goes On has just been declared the Best Film at the Pravasi Film Festival which concluded on Wednesday.

I’ll let you know UK release details as soon as they’re definite!

Watch the start of my new music video!

Director David Ferrone and animator Matthew Jones have created a sparklingly mad, dark world where childhood imagination and playfulness meet slightly vindictive catharsis.

Live action meets hand-drawn animation in this fairytale Victorian paper theatre, with its little paper Romeo and Juliet. Click on the link below to watch:
