Shirley works with Greg Kurstin

Shirley seems to have been doing yet more work with other artists this time Greg Kurstin from The Bird and the Bee. The Times online report the following.

Kurstin, the quieter and more wry of the two, was a child jazz-piano prodigy who hauled himself off to New York to study with Jaki Byard, Charlie Mingus’s pianist. Returning to the West Coast, he produced and played with leftfield stars including Beck, Peaches, the Flaming Lips and Lily Allen (whom the Bird and the Bee are supporting on her current tour). Poppier collaborations include Sophie Ellis Bextor and Natasha Bedingfield, and his forthcoming slate features Shirley Manson and Donna Summer. “He’s like a musical freak show,” George smiles. “There’s not a lot that Greg can’t do.”

More news as and when we get it.
