Heather Nova is currently writing songs for the new album and she hopes to record next summer.

Besides, she will sing on sunday, November 19, in the afternoon at the free "family day" of the "Save The Gardens" campaign in the Botanical Gardens of Bermuda. There had been plans to built a hospital in the Botanical Gardens, and Heather Nova protested against the plans, because parts of the gardens had to be destroyed. In the meanwhile, the plans were delayed. Heather Nova will sing approximately 20 minutes.

Heather Nova is writing songs for her new album! There is no album release date planned yet.

Besides that, there are considerations to release an album with all her unreleased recorded tracks. Among them probably "When/If The Music Stops", which was recorded for Redbird, but finally didn't make it on the album.

many thanks to heather for this information

Today, September 6th, marks the release of Redbird in France. As reported earlier, it is a digipak, with the same tracklisting as the other versions that are already available. It also features the same track times mistakes. The Welcome single cover is used behind the disc tray. The disc itself is slightly different, with a white background on the edges and a maroon background beneath the black marks. "Heather Nova Redbird" is written in black instead of exposing the CD's surface. The legal mentions stretch all the way around and are not the same. Be sure to check out our picture gallery for pictures (coming soon). Currently I've only seen this version, i.e. no standard jewel case for now.

You can order it now on FNAC.com for 15.99€ plus postage. In FNAC stores it is sold for 17.50€. It is also available at ALAPAGE.com, for 15.76€, but the delivery is up to 6 days in France... to say nothing of foreign countries!

[EDIT] It is now available on AMAZON.fr for 16.62€.

In any case, it looks like delivery outside of France costs at least 8€.

Some updated release dates for Heather Nova's new album "Redbird":

Benelux, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia: already released
France: September 6th
Italy: October 14th

No information about UK.

Heather Nova's new album Redbird, which was released last week is the highest new entry in the german MediaControl Charts. It went directly to number 10. It's even more remarkable as there was no single upfront.

On Heather Nova's German website http://www.heather-nova.de/, you can now now the video of her new single Welcome.

Additionally, you can watch 14 interview clips where Heather talks about her new album, music and song writing. The videos were probably shot in the Bermudas. You can see Heather's dog Friday in the background in some of the clips.

Here you can go directly to the Welcome Video + Video Interviews

The video for Heather Nova's download-only single Welcome premieres on Heather's official artist page www.heathernova.com.

On the homepage of Heather's official site, you will find the cover art for Redbird's first single, Welcome, which is derived from one of the new promo pics. Along with it is a picture from the set of the accompanying video. It features Heather in a sexy mermaid-like dress, hair flying, with the sea and the sky behind her. No word yet on the place where it was shot.

Much like Drink It In from Storm, Welcome seems to be only a promotional single, meaning it has a video but won't get a public release, in France and in Germany at least. Copies have been sent out, featuring the radio edit (3:30) and the the album version (4:15) of Welcome. You can see a picture of this CD in the forums of the German fansite.

Heather Nova's first single Welcome from her upcoming album Redbird will most likely be released on August 1st, just one week before the album release.

Redbird will be released on the 8th of August 2005 . It's official.

"Redbird", Heather's sixth studio album, is quite different to her previous album "Storm",which had been a return to acoustic basics. The positive experience of recording "Storm" in one place, unlike her previous albums that had mostly been recorded in gaps between her heavy touring schedule, was also the basis for recording "Redbird", but Heather felt a more "rockier" feel to the music best suited the collection of songs that she had written.....
