After competing in national competitions in her native Ireland and training with the Royal Academy from a young age, Dublin songstress Roberta Howett found real fame as a finalist on the first series of Factor, under the tutelage of Sharon Osbourne. Having since performed at Glastonbury with Sharon Corr, Oxegen Festival with Bressie and supported The Wanted on their sold-out UK Arena tour with her band Fanfair, Howett is back with her brand new single Water To Fire.
Roberta’s latest track is a heady, brazen mix of classic pop sensibilities with a singer songwriter’s touch.
Released today, Water To Fire is a highly polished track with great pop potential. Citing Kate Bush, Florence Welch and Michael Jackson as key influences, it’s clear that this girl knows how to write a catchy song. Perhaps, a much more gentle track than we usually supply you with, this is the perfect accompaniment to a chilled out weekend.
