Music
Nerina released her debut album, Dear Frustrated Superstar, on Polydor records in August 2001.
Dear Frustrated Superstar was re-issued several years later after Fires, Nerina’s second album, had become a commercial success.
Fires was released in April 2005 on her own independent label, Idaho, with Nerina writing all the songs. It was published by Chrysalis Music Publishing, who have been with her since her days with Polydor.
At the end of 2005, Nerina signed with major label, ‘14th Floor Records’ and a re-issue of the album which was more 'spangly' (Pallot's words) and featured additional strings on some tracks, was released on 24 April 2006, earning Pallot a chart success by reaching #21. With over 100,000 sales it was certified gold in the UK.
The first single from the revamped album was "Everybody's Gone to War", which was playlisted on most major British radio stations. The single became the third most played song on British radio the week before its release, and reached #14 in the UK Singles Chart.
The second single from the album was "Sophia", a re-recorded version, created in LA along with producer Mitchell Froom, which entered the UK singles chart at #32. In April 2007, the song was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award.
In October 2009, Pallot released her third album, "The Graduate", produced and recorded by Pallot herself with the help of husband Andy Chatterley.
