The album's twelve songs were written, arranged, and played by Fiona Bevan, produced and played by Shawn Lee, engineered by Pierre Duplan in Bloomsbury, London, and mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios, San Francisco. The Guardian wrote, "Bevan took us on startling odysseys that suggested Erykah Badu, Joanna Newsom, and Kate Bush spine-tinglingly joined".

The first single "The Machine" was remixed by Ed Harcourt and featured Fem Fel, which received an airplay on BBC Radio 1 and BBC London. Clash Music commentated about the track, "Fiona Bevan contrasts pastoral, acoustic textures with her golden, golden voice". [14]

In February 2017, the British newspaper The Observer identified Bevan's song "Little Things” in an article entitled "A History of the Love Song in 10 Tracks", as an important song in the digital era. The song, especially for young music listeners, have "tackled the physical inadequacies many young women feel in the age of social media and told them they were OK to have". She commented that "it felt very important to write it like a feminist love song...Girls at that age – 12, 13, when their self-esteem is often rock bottom – need to hear those things said, so to hear them from their heroes is life-changing." Bevan received "hundreds of messages from girls on social media after the song grew in popularity. [17]

Bevan released a new solo EP, Wild Angels, Sweet Demons on Venus Climbing Records in 2018. [18]

Collaborations

Ed Sheeran/One Direction

Bevan co-wrote the One Direction song "Little Things" with Ed Sheeran, which appeared on their second studio album Take Me Home (2012). [2] In October 2012, Sheeran acknowledged her songwriting skills in an interview with the British radio network Capital FM, stating: "The great thing about it is I wrote that song with a girl called Fiona Bevan when I was 17 and we lost the song. I've kept in touch with Fiona, we've done gigs and stuff, and about two months ago she sent me the tune and was like, 'Oh, do you remember this?' I was like, 'Yeah, I do remember that', and I was in the studio with the One Direction boys at the time and I was playing it and they were like, 'We really like that'. It's got one of my favorite lines that I've ever written in a song." [19]

Carl Ryden/Steps

In 2017, Fiona worked with the group Steps on their comeback album Tears on the Dancefloor . [20] "Scared of the Dark", the single she and Carl Ryden co-wrote for Steps, reached number 37 on the UK Singles Chart. [21]

Ben Haenow

Bevan co-wrote "One Night" for Ben Haenow with Ben and producer duo Red Triangle (production team) for his deluxe debut album. [22] The album reached the top 10 in the UK, and his subsequent 'One Night Tour' was also named after the track. [23]

Gwyneth Herbert

Bevan co-wrote, with Gwyneth Herbert, two songs on Herbert's 2013 album The Sea Cabinet – "I Still Hear the Bells" and "The King's Shilling"– and performed with Herbert on the album and at its London launch at Wilton's Music Hall in May 2013. [24]

Laura Welsh

With Laura Welsh, Bevan co-wrote the singles 'Red' and 'Concrete' from the 'See Red EP' which The Line Of Best Fit called "stunning". [25] Bevan also co-wrote Laura's previous single 'Sex and Violence' which was released as a 'Stream Only' premiere on Spin.com. [26] [27]

ARCO

Alongisde Neil Luck, Bevan co-composed music for and performed alongside the avant-garde string ensemble ARCO on Last Wane Days (squib-box), a two-act monodrama for voice and ensemble [28] , released on 12 March 2012. In a review, Tim Rutherford-Johnson wrote: "Bevan, in particular, can turn her voice on a dime. As co-composers, Luck and Bevan use sound and recurring motifs cleverly so that the rampant dislocations achieve an unexpected coherence and continuity. Serious artistry". [29]

Poussez Posse

For several months in 2011, Bevan was joint lead guitarist in the Poussez Posse, a band fronted by Georgina Baillie and mentored by Adam Ant. Other members included fellow lead guitarists Danie Cox (later known as Danie Centric and Gobby Holder), bassist Molly Spiers MacLeod (daughter of Spizz), and drummer Rachael Smith. The latter three eventually left to form the self-styled "flock rock" band The Featherz.

This lineup of the Posse performed several support slots for Ant in 2011 and recorded tracks for a planned single and EP. They were later replaced by a new lineup, still fronted by Baillie and featuring future Curse of Lono bassist Charis Anderson. This updated lineup continued to support Ant on tours in the UK, mainland Europe, and Australia until the end of 2012.

Footage from 2011 of a band meeting of Bevan's lineup of the Poussez Posse at Ant's home is featured in The Blueblack Hussar, a documentary about Ant directed by Jack Bond. [30] [31]

Music for advertisements and television

In the spring of 2015, Bevan's track "Slo Mo Tiger Glo" from her album Talk To Strangers was chosen as the theme music for the HSBC adverts aired in the UK and Ireland. [32] Her song "Beginners Luck" was used as the E! 2015 winter red carpet season USA track.[ citation needed ]
