Alice Jemima is a 19 year old singer songwriter from Newton Abbot, Devon. Her songs are carefully crafted slices of pop. She plays a vintage Hofner guitar and sings with a voice that is both fragile and rich…
Where’s she been seen?
2011 saw Alice Jemima performing at a couple of high profile gigs, including the unveiling of the Olympic Rings at St Pancras International (where she played to the likes of Seb Coe and Boris Johnson).
She was selected from hundreds for a spot on the BBC introducing stage at Wychwood Festival where Elisa Bray (Independent Newspaper) declared Alice to be ‘first and top of my list’. And chosen by BBC Introducing Bristol to ‘demonstrate the terrifically high standard and variety of music in the local area’ by playing at the BBC’s first live gig in Bristol.
Her next gig will be on January 11th 2012 at the Proud Galleries in Camden for Music Week.
Where’s she been heard?
Radio 1’s Rob da Bank played Alice Jemima, and later in the year, Tom Robinson at Radio 6 courtesy of Breaking More Waves Blog who lined Alice Jemima up alongside the likes of Rizzle Kicks, Curxes and made her the lead choice of song with ‘Red Coat’, produced in the studio of Grammy nominated producer Andy Chatterley and Jason Tarver, both of whom worked with Kylie Minogue on her album Aphrodite.
BBC Bristol have been heralding Alice Jemima since her win at Teenage Rampage, Exeter in 2010, and she is a regular on their BBC introducing slot.
Who knows about her?

In short
‘…gloriously magical and innocent pop, where the verse, chorus and middle eight all seem as sweetly hooky as each other…’ Breaking More Waves Blog.
Take Me Back
Alice Jemima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the place where I first received you.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I
First believed.
I feel that I'm so far from you Lord
But still I hear you calling me
Those simple things that I once knew,
I must confess, Lord I've been blessed
But yet my soul's not satisfied.
Renew my faith, restore my joy
And dry my weeping eyes.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord
To the place where I first received you.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I
First believed.
I tried so hard
To make it all alone
I need your help
Just to make it home.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord
To the place where I first received you.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I
First believed.

Here's my attempt, but I couldn't figure it all out:
Take me back
To when I didn’t know you,
Didn’t know how to love like that
[a solid ten with the phone?]
‘cause I didn’t know how to talk like that
I’m not like that
Face the facts
No turning back
No taking that
Gotta be who I wanna be, wanna be,
who I wanna be
who I wanna be
You never know who you meet
You never know who will change you
Never know who will change you
So just look, just look
we were and [we waah?] we will always be
