Rocketing from near obscurity in the depths of her basement to the top of the UK charts with her #1 smash single 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker', 24 year-old entrepreneurial Scottish songstress Sandi Thom delivers her debut album 'Smile... It Confuses People'.

An incredible tale of rags to riches, Thom secured her staggering 70,000 strong online fanbase through a series of live webcast performances. Dubbed the '21 nights From Tooting' world tour, Thom performed to her audience every night for three weeks - all from her 10 person capacity basement! Part of the new breed of online-based acts that include the Arctic Monkeys and Gnarls Barkley, Thom's success grabbed the attention of record companies and she soon signed a recording contract - also broadcast live online!

Featuring the #1 smash single 'I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)' that dethroned the un-dethronable Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' from it's nine-week reign in the top spot on the UK charts, 'Smile...' showcases Thom's seamless blend of folk and soul with honest and well-humoured lyrics make for an intelligent and mature debut album.

Stamped with Thom's influences of Jeff Buckley, Aretha, Dylan and Stevie Nicks, the tracks span a wide range of themes from 'Little Remedy', (where she throws down the gauntlet down to a prospective lover) and 'What If I'm Right'(documenting the bittersweet confusion of a newfound relationship), to her soul-searching ode, 'Lonely Girl'.

A breath of fresh air in the pop arena, Sandi Thom and 'Smile... It Confuses People' are guaranteed to leave you beaming...
