Fans of Romeo Void will no doubt be delighted to learn that former front-woman, Debora Iyall has a new four song EP to her credit. Singing Until Sunrise, released on Iyall's own Dottie Records begins with an upbeat revision of Romeo Void's 1984 single, "A Girl in Trouble (is a temporary thing)." This updated version is a stunning improvement to a classic. The tightened up rhythm and extra verse seem to make the storyline more convincing... one feels a greater confidence in the temporal quality of our protagonist's troubles. The electro-pop, "Letting Go" is a collaboration with former Romeo Void bassist, Frank Zincavage which showcases Iyall's versatility as both a vocalist and an arbiter of ambiance as it almost sounds as though it were being performed under water. The last two tracks, "Wait Out the Storm" and "99" are live versions off 2011's Stay Strong. Singing Until Sunrise explores electronica, pop, darkwave, and hints of ska with grace and confidence. The EP is available in both CD format and a limited run of purple vinyl http://www.deboraiyall.com/
