Kept very busy writing over the last two months with some exciting collaborators, Scarlette also played some British Festivals and a Smooth Radio Liverpool Docks show on 21st July, before heading USA bound to play for US TV networks and do some more writing with certain under-wraps A-list personnel.
2012 is shaping up nicely, in fact. In April Scarlette released βThe Great Expectationsβ EP, debuting a new, rawer sound. Lead track βHour Of Sunshine,β co-written with and produced by Julian Emery (Lissie) was remixed by Cenzo Townshend (Snow Patrol) and complemented by a second, live mix produced by Steve Lironi (Bon Jovi). The EP also contained interpretations by Ash Howes (Texas) of live favourites βCheatinβ Manβ & βGood Dayβ (both co-written with Andy Wright - Imelda May). Since premiering on NME.com, the video, produced by Dani Jacobs (Moby, Phil Collins/ Texas) has received over 200,000 views on youtube. Check it out HERE
Also in April Scarlette made her first trip to the States, to perform two storming gigs at Music Expo and the Worldwide Radio Summit, both in LA. βIt was my first jaunt across the pond,β says Scarlette. βJessie J and Adele performed at last yearβs showcase, so you never know,β
Scarlette Fever had a busy 2011, too. βDebut single βCrash & Burnβ sailed straight onto Radio 2βs B-list in January, reaching #2 on the Billboard Breakout Club Chart, and winning praise across the media. Since then, her profile has steadily risen, alongside the further radio playlists (including another Radio 2 B-List for recent single, Elated) and national press acclaim everywhere from big-selling tabloids like Daily Mirror to the influential Popjustice website. She toured with Girls Aloud, performed with Robbie Williams, as well as completing a 20 date support with 80s legends Mike & The Mechanics and an autumn leg with Caro Emerald and Roachford.

Hour of Sunshine
Scarlette Fever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my page of missed calls
You're nothing, but nothing's alright!
Showed up on my radar
Drove up in your mate's car
You're nothing, but a great waste of time
I don't need fancy holidays; yeah that's what they all say
This is crazy yeah you bet your life
This is crazy, let's give it a try!
Who you're with?
Who you're with?
Who you're really with?
You're my daily hour of sunshine
Feel you on my skin and everything's alright
You're my favourite waste of my time
Fresh from the start, and everything is all right!
Everything is alright, alright!
You say that I'm good luck
You say that you're made up
But I'm fragile to handle with me
My friends say it won't last
My friends want the last laugh
But you're trouble that I love to wear
And I'll be your secret if you never repeat it
Then baby, we'll be just fine!
I've fallen right through ya
I'm deep underwater
This is crazy, let's give it a try!
Who you're with?
Who you're with?
Who you're really with?
You're my daily hour of sunshine
Feel you on my skin and everything's alright
You're my favourite waste of my time
Fresh from the start, and everything is all right!
Everything is alright, alright!
The lyrics to Scarlette Fever's song "Hour of Sunshine" describe a toxic relationship that the singer is unable to resist, even though they know it is not good for them. The first verse paints the picture of the person that the singer is drawn to - someone who is unreliable and a "great waste of time." However, the singer is willing to take a chance on this person, saying that "size doesn't matter" and that they are not interested in fancy holidays or money. The chorus emphasizes the sense of escape and happiness that the singer finds in this person. They are their "daily hour of sunshine," and being with them makes everything "alright."
The second verse continues to explore the contradictory feelings that the singer has towards this person. They admit that their friends do not approve of the relationship, and that they are "fragile to handle" when they are with them. However, the singer is willing to keep the relationship a secret, saying that as long as the other person does not repeat it, everything will be "just fine." The bridge of the song repeats the question "who you're with?" which suggests that the singer is aware that this person is likely seeing other people, adding to the sense of unease and uncertainty surrounding the relationship.
Overall, "Hour of Sunshine" is a catchy pop song that deals with the complexities of a toxic relationship. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a situation where they know they should walk away from someone who is not good for them, but are unable to resist the pull towards that person.

You're my latest pitfall
You're the newest thing that's brought me down
You're my page of missed calls
I keep trying to reach you but you're not answering me
You're nothing, but nothing's alright!
You don't bring anything positive to my life, but that's okay with me
Showed up on my radar
You came onto my radar, caught my attention
Drove up in your mate's car
You came in your friend's car
You're nothing, but a great waste of time
You don't contribute anything meaningful to my life, but I enjoy spending time with you
I don't need fancy holidays; yeah that's what they all say
People say they don't need expensive things, but they still want them
This is crazy yeah you bet your life
This situation is very risky and I'm aware of that
And size doesn't matter, not your money I'm after
I don't care about your physical appearance or how much money you have
This is crazy, let's give it a try!
This could end up badly, but let's take a chance and see what happens
Who you're with?
Who are you spending time with?
Who you're with?
Who are you spending time with?
Who you're really with?
Who are you really spending time with? Is there someone else?
You're my daily hour of sunshine
You brighten up my day, even if it's just for a short time
Feel you on my skin and everything's alright
Your touch makes everything feel okay
You're my favourite waste of my time
Even though spending time with you doesn't contribute anything meaningful to my life, I still enjoy it the most
Fresh from the start, and everything is all right!
At the beginning of our relationship, everything was perfect
Everything is alright, alright!
Despite any issues we may face, we're okay
You say that I'm good luck
You believe that being with me brings you good luck
You say that you're made up
You claim to be someone that you're not
But I'm fragile to handle with me
I'm a delicate person, difficult to be with
My friends say it won't last
My friends don't believe our relationship will last
My friends want the last laugh
My friends want to be able to say 'I told you so'
But you're trouble that I love to wear
You bring me a lot of problems, but I still love being with you
And I'll be your secret if you never repeat it
I'll keep our relationship a secret if you promise not to tell anyone
Then baby, we'll be just fine!
If we can keep our relationship a secret, everything will be okay
I've fallen right through ya
I've fallen deeply in love with you
I'm deep underwater
I'm in too deep, deeply involved in this relationship

I have just started loving you Scarlette, you are really a rockstar, and this is surely one of your best songs.. I hope I could see you performing live, that would be a dream come true, really can't wait for it. Love you Scarlette <3
@Malmisteenfans
It's really a pleasure, to hear these type of music, and I am sure that you are one the true artists and you deserved to be stood out from all the bunch of musicians that exist currently and just put you in the top, really if I could do that, I really would do that, because you really beat all of the artists that produce similar type of music. It's been rare, that we have seen female rockstar, and you are really a source of inspiration for carrying on the legacy of music.
@TheMetalMag
Love this song
