Lower caption = 2005 Original Release"Fires" is the second album by
Jersey -born singer-songwriterNerina Pallot . First released in April 2005 on her own independent record label, Idaho Records, "Fires" was met with much critical acclaim but did not gain commercial recognition.After working as a support act for artists such as
Sheryl Crow andSuzanne Vega , Pallot was signed up to 14th Floor Records, who were impressed with the audience response and after-show sales of her album. Thus, "Fires" was reissued in late April 2006 with revamped artwork and some slight remixes on some of Pallot's songs. The album entered at UK #41 and later, on the strength of the popular singleEverybody's Gone to War , made it as far as #21.To date, the album has been certified gold in the UK for sales of over 100,000, [The BPI: " [http://www.bpi.co.uk/platinum/platinumright.asp?rq=search_plat&r_id=32617 Certified Awards] ", June 9 2006] and has earned Pallot a nomination at the
2007 BRIT Awards for Best British Female.Track Listings
