Gabriella Cilmi to support Sugababes

GABRIELLA CILMI has confirmed she will join the Sugababes on their forthcoming UK tour in March. The dates will follow Gabriella's support slot on Parisian collective Nouvelle Vague's UK tour in February.

Tipped widely in the press already as a major new talent for 2008, Gabriella releases her debut single 'Sweet About Me' on the 10th March 2008.

Bringing a little fun back to pop, 'Sweet About Me' is a slinky soulful pop song, about making trouble and getting away with it.

Radio 1's Jo Whiley has been spot playing the single, and Radio 2 and Capital Radio have playlisted the single 6 weeks upfront of release.

Special mixes on the single from Alex Beedle and Matthew Herbert have been picking up plays on Kiss, Galaxy, 6Music, Ministry and BBC London, and Gabriella followed in the footsteps of Richard Hawley, The Kills, and Cat Power by performing a live session on 6Music's The Hub this week.

Looking as well as sounding the part, Gabriella has been confirmed as the face of Boots No.17 cosmetics range.
