If anything, Black Porcelain is proof that talent is still what matters. Without a label or a marketing budget to speak of, Black Porcelain managed to get her music play-listed by radio stations in more than 20 countries. After releasing 2 successful EPs, she is releasing the first single off her long awaited debut album (Invincible Summer). ‘Today is the day' is a catchy anthem for those who are fed up with 'fair-weather lovers'.
‘Today is the day’ opens with her sounding weary, lamenting about the state of her relationship. The lyrics indicate that Black Porcelain is fed up and wants her undecided lover out. "I heard him say he was leaving today. I saw him stay, he's not leaving today." "Today is the day; you mean what you say...” Unlike her last electronic beat driven EP, this song relies on live instrumentation and Black Porcelain's silky vocals.
While other singers are trying to out-sing or out-weirdo each other with peculiar antics, Black Porcelain is doing the opposite. She sits very comfortably in her own lane with restraint; crooning almost triumphantly as the song reaches its climax. This is not to say that she takes herself too seriously. In fact the tongue in cheek lyrics reveal her sense of humour. “You don’t realise that this is my house, so you're now homeless.'
2011 has been a very exciting for the Cape Town based singer songwriter. Not only is her music play-listed in over 20 countries, she also added to that impressive list an international cover on a German/English magazine. . Initially touted as an underground artist, Black Porcelain is proving to be more than the singer of choice for an 'exclusive' few. 'Today's the day' is definitely the song to catapult Black Porcelain into the mainstream.
