Those who have already heard Karima Francis are excited about her 2009 prospects. Those who haven’t are in for a treat.

A limited edition 7″ and digital single, “Chasing The Morning Light” (out December 1, 2008) provides a tantalising taste of Karima’s eagerly-anticipated debut album ‘The Author’, set for release spring 2009.

The Blackpool-born, Manchester-based singer-songwriter tours the UK for the first time in the New Year, playing 18 dates accompanied by guitarist Simon Robbs and bassist/guitarist Ewan Warden.
