Ricki-Lee Wiggles It with New Single!

Following on from the success of 2007, it’s nothing but strength-to-strength for the seductress of pop as RICKI-LEE delivers yet another killer single with her brand new hit WIGGLE IT, due for physical release on September 13th, 2008 and digital release on September 16th, 2008.

With 5 TOP TEN singles across 2 GOLD selling albums, 22 year-old RICKI-LEE is fast becoming ingrained into the fabric of Australian popular culture. Her undeniable talent for writing hit pop songs took her ability to a new level with 2007's PLATINUIM SELLING smash hit CANT TOUCH IT. CANT TOUCH IT catapulted RICKI-LEE into a new level of commercial success in 2007 after debuting at #2 ON THE ARIA CHARTS and spending 38 WEEKS in the TOP 100. As a proud independent artist, Ricki-Lee's tireless commitment to the independent music scene was rewarded when she spent 10 WEEKS AT #1 ON THE AIR CHARTS (AUSTRALIAN INDEPENDENT RECORD LABELS ASSOCIATION) and received an AIR AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST PERFORMING INDEPENDENT SINGLE

WIGGLE IT follows that same successful recipe of humour, sexiness and undeniable pop beats with an edge. Co-written with successful Australian artist and Producer ISRAEL CRUZ almost 2 years ago, RICKI-LEE has been determined to deliver this track to the radio-waves since its inception. “I was disappointed when Wiggle It didn’t work on my last album, so I’m beyond THRILLED to be finally getting this single out to my fans!” she says of the tracks impending release.

With an ever- expanding profile and continued career growth in the Australian marketplace, RICKI-LEE has gone on to secure several international record deals, including the worlds biggest and most respected dance label, MINISTRY OF SOUND, UK/EUROPE, and the worlds second-largest music territory, JAPAN, via respected independent Japanese record label PONY CANYON. And the success has followed with U WANNA LITTLE OF THIS (a remixed & re-titled version of CANT TOUCH IT released through HED KANDI/MINISTRY OF SOUND) peaking at an incredible #1 ON THE UK COMMERCIAL CLUB POP CHARTS AND #2 ON THE UK UPFRONT CLUB CHARTS IN 2008.

Claiming its her “CAREER HIGHLIGHT TO DATE”, RICKI-LEE'S media profile hit an all time pinnacle and high when she was invited to open the 2007 INAUGURAL ARIA AWARDS RED CARPET PERFORMANCE with a stunning, ten dancer-deep LIVE strut of CAN"T TOUCH IT. “I still can’t believe I was a part of such an amazing moment – it has been the absolute highlight of my career to date and I can’t imagine anything beating it”, says RICKI-LEE of her ARIA performance experience.

Beyond kicking goals in the pop arena, a love and desire to forge a career that spans many medians has been steadily developing and growing behind the scenes. Showing prowess across TV AND RADIO, Ricki-Lee has met many media challenges over the past year, such as stepping up to the role of co-hosting a full week of Austereo’s popular HOT 30 NIGHTS PROGRAM WITH TIM LEE at the end of 2007; joining B105’S BREAKFAST TEAM IN BRISBANE OVER THE SUMMER OF 2008; starring in hit TV show IT TAKES TWO as part of the professional cast, as well as co-hosting a week of FOXTELS HIGH-RATING KIDS TV SHOW “SARVO” with Kyle Linnehan. If nothing more, the past year has simply prepared RICKI-LEE for the nostalgic challenge ahead, as she joins the 2008 HOSTING TEAM for SERIES 6 OF AUSTRALIAN IDOL, CHANNEL TEN’S hit reality TV program, which gave RICKI-LEE her incredible career kick-start back in 2004! “I’m so EXCITED about returning to the very springboard that launched my name, my voice and my profile…Let’s just hope my presenting skills are up to scratch…JUST JOKING!” giggles RICKI-LEE.

If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
Clutch backstage is boring before a show. Mostly we warm up. For me it's page 58 and 59 of Ted Reed's Syncopation. After that I crack a cold one and stretch a bit.

If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
The usual stuff. Good beer, a few snacks. We get that stuff anyway though. Asking for stupid crap is for amateurs.

Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
My favorite live band these days is Kamchatka. Those guys blow doors! They are Swedish so they like to drink beer too. We've done a couple tours with them. Great band!

What's your most essential item to take on tour?
Socks and more socks!

What's your secret talent?
Thanks to the iPhone I am pretty good at finding decent food in almost any town.

AND... Where are we best to stalk you: MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? Which one's updated the most?
None of the above. I don't have time for that stuff. Email is my jam.

Down With Webster
9 votes for HOT
4 votes for NOT
Down With Webster a 7-member, genre-bending, musical juggernaut draws on disparate influences to create a wholly original musical feast. Their chaotic live shows are the stuff of local legend, selling 1000+ tickets as headliners in their hometown of Toronto as an indie band before ever releasing a single or video.

The band writes, produces and performs all of their music, garnering attention from industry veterans as varied as Timbaland and KISS front man Gene Simmons, both of whom wanted to sign the band to their respective labels. DWW won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music best unsigned artist in Canada contest in 2008.
