Vela is here! Except she's not called Vela any more, so update your address books

  • October 19, 2012
  • Popjustice

Keen Popjustice viewers will have seen us 'bigging up' (being generally sup­port­ive of) a solo artiste by the name of Vela, who was formerly chief warbler in Soft Toy Emergency.

Well, she's calling herself Jenn D these days, and her debut single for All Around The World is 'Lose It', which is a rather exciting romp that sets the stage for even bigger pop things to come in 2013.

She's given Popjustice the exclusive on the video, which was shot in LA a month or so ago and involves assorted improb­ably pho­to­genic people dancing around in the street, showering in champagne (wasteful, also ulti­mately sticky) and generally 'having it'.

Here is that video we were just talking about.

If you would like to engage with Jenn D you may do so on her Facebook page or pon de Twitter. We're sure she would love to hear from you.
