Renowned for their unique sound, distinctive songwriting and beautifully produced recordings, European and British blues award nominees the Starlite Campbell Band released their highly acclaimed second album The Language of Curiosity on independent label Supertone Records on Friday, November 5th, 2021.

Their combined songwriting skills and musicality along with a uniquely British rock & blues sound, make Starlite and Campbell, who fell in love on stage and married following a whirlwind musical romance, one hot ticket!

There aren't many artists out there who write, play, record, engineer and produce their own music themselves but that is exactly what this passionate couple do. As lovers of vinyl and all things analog, producer Simon Campbell’s production and recording techniques have a quality learned first-hand working in recording studios in the early 70’s;  it's not retro - it's always been this way!

Suzy Starlite & Simon Campbell are multi-instrumentalists; you’ll also hear a Philips Philicorder, mellotron, Moog Minitaur, theremin & E1-M guitar in the mix. The album was primarily recorded on their 48 channel analog mixing console along with vintage gear such as an original 1970s Echoplex tape echo machine, valve amplifiers and vintage microphones.

With their fresh taste of original '70s British rock and British blues, the husband and wife duo have been on an exciting roller-coaster of a musical ride following the release of their debut album Blueberry Pie to rave reviews worldwide and a prestigious nomination for Best Album in the European Blues Awards.

With extensive international radio play including BBC Radio 2, charting top 10 in the UK, Australia, The Netherlands, American Blues Charts plus receiving over 50 four and five-star reviews worldwide, the band have played all over the world from headlining a festival in their Australian debut to main stage performances at The Great British Rock & Blues Festival in the UK.

The duo has recently completed a six-week full-band festival and headline tour in the UK, The Netherlands and the Czech Republic and will be playing the headline slot on the main stage at The Great British Rock & Blues Festival, UK on Saturday 15th January 2022 with many more dates to be confirmed. Worldwide in 2022/23.

‘'The Language of Curiosity' is a collection of stories about different facets of real-life experiences from working for the man, attitudes towards casual sex, space travel, social systems and abuse of power. money, war and the global refugee crisis, bouncers on the doors of the music industry, people giving up and growing old before their time and feel good British rock and British blues; it's like looking at different sides of a Rubik's cube.”

Suzy explained, “this is the second album that Simon and I have co-written and again we focussed on writing authentic, fun, thoughtful, sometimes brutal words in service of the song which informed the feel and style of music, from full-on rock ’n’ roll, tribal drums, thunderous bass, badass dirty guitar riffs, echoes of slide and lap steel, melting melodies, crazy tornadoes of sound, sirens and laughter to the nakedness of silence, washed by waves of delicious double vocal harmonies.”

As full-time musicians, the art of the song is everything and Starlite and Campbell fly in the face of disposable music – writing, recording, engineering, playing and producing all their work and then releasing on their own independent label Supertone Records.  

Campbell started playing the guitar professionally as a studio session musician at the tender age of 17, signed a record deal with Polydor in the ‘80s and is also an experienced music producer having worked with Island Records, Big Jim Sullivan and Derek Lawrence in the ‘90s.
