Distributed across 200 digital accounts such as Spotify, iTunes and Tesco Digital; the Mon Dieu download is currently being promoted on YouTube where we see Lorraine Brunning play the part of an emotionally fragile woman who is haunted by the spectre of Édith Piaf.
Lorraine Brunning says "I’ve always been interested in songs that tell stories and the French Chansons are all about that. The Mon Dieu viral film on YouTube directed by Rufus Stone really demonstrates how potent that combination of drama and voice can be when you have a song as compelling as Mon Dieu.”
Mon Dieu is the first single from Lorraine Brunning's forthcoming album 'Comme Moi' which is due to be released in 2014. The album is produced with a theatre audience in mind and has all the credentials to remain on sale for long time.
Lorraine is to star in 'Piaf's Magician' by Matthew Hurt; commissioned by West End producers Beckman Unicorn for a 2014 première. Exploring the little-known relationship between Piaf and Jean Cocteau the play is set in Paris during the Second World War.
