(PR) Aimee Allen will hit the road this summer with platinum pop stars Sugar Ray , kicking off July 21st in Detroit.Aimees new album, A Little Happiness is the quintessential summer soundtrack. Its 11 deeply introspective, largely acoustic songs conjure up the simple bliss of a drive down the Pacific. Allens signature autobiographical storytelling examines heartbreak as much as the celebration of getting over it. Often described as a female Jason Mraz or Gwen Stefani fronting Sublime, Aimees sound radiates the summer vibes of Californias reggae scene.
The new record is a big departure from Allens previous work, both as a solo artist and as half of the punk rock duo, Scott & Aimee. A new version of Save Me (the top 5 hit she co-wrote with Linda Perry) is featured on the new album, along with the title track co-written by Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen.) Aimee can also be heard on the bulk of Repentance, by the legendary Lee Scratch Perry, which was nominated for a Grammy this year.
