Marli Harwood (born in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England), also known as Marilena Buck or Marli Buck, is a singer and songwriter. A piano and guitar player, she is of Eritrean, Italian, Welsh and English extraction.[1]
[edit] Music career
In 1995, Harwood was signed by Chris Blackwell to his Island Records label. During the recording of her debut album, Blackwell decided to sell Island Records, and the album was never released. In 2002, Harwood appeared on Fame Academy, but finished sixth in the series.[2] She then recorded several albums with various major record labels, which remained unreleased or promoted.[3]
In January 2011, Harwood's song It's Called a Heart was played to Jeff Smith, head of music at BBC Radio 2, by her management team and on 25th Jan 2011 it was announced by the Press Association that the track was "Record Of The Week" on Radio 2.[4] Harwood released It's Called a Heart via her website on 21 February 2011.[5]
Harwood had a Maternity clause added to her contract, which was described as a first.[6] With a final working date of July 1, 2011 before the birth, Island records are pushing to get her 12 track album "Clocks and Full Stops" released. The single from the album "Billy" is set to be released on May 30 with the album following on June 6.[7]
