New music: Nerina Pallot ? All Bets Are Off (live)

This simple and affecting performance should hopefully put Pallot's career back on track

Nerina Pallot's career to date hasn't exactly been smooth. Initially signed to Polydor, her debut album was released in 2001 to limited success and just before a major tour the planned reissue was scrapped and she was dropped. For her second album she launched her own label ? funded by remortgaging her house ? only to then have a hit single (Everybody's Gone to War) and her previous album re-released by Warner Music (Pallot called the new mixes "spangly"). For the follow-up she was back on her own label and a planned trip to write with other songwriters (including Linda Perry) proved fruitless. Following writing credits on songs for Kylie Minogue (including her last single, Better Than Today), Diana Vickers and Joe McElderry, Pallot is now signed to Geffen and her Bernard Butler-produced album, Year of the Wolf, is out on 30 May. This live version of the gorgeous All Bets Are Off strips away all extraneous detail, leaving just Pallot and her piano.
