Exciting Collaboration Announced

Singer-songwriter, Yunyu, and award-winning author, Marianne de Pierres, today announced an exciting collaboration.

De Pierres’ first young adult fantasy novel entitled Burn Brightis due to be released by Random House in 2011 and will be accompanied by a dedicated single written and performed by Yunyu.

Yunyu, winner of JJJ’s Unearthed, has achieved cult status amongst her followers. Neil Gaiman and Warren Ellis have mobilized their massive fan bases in support. Yunyu has also carved a substantial online niche, finding a following amongst lovers of horror, anime and manga.

De Pierres has published eight novels to date (including those under her pseudonym, Marianne Delacourt) and has had her work adapted for game and animation.

De Pierres says that the collaboration between Yunyu and herself was almost a natural progression. ‘If you read my work, and listen to Yunyu’s music, you’d have to see that it’s a marriage made in Heaven – or Hades as the case may be. I’m really excited about this project, Yunyu has written a song that will simply electrify you; it’s dark, exhilarating and addictive.’

Yunyu also looks forward to the collaboration saying, ‘Marianne’s stories live in the same universe as my songs and I’m excited to be writing for her surreally beautiful tale.’
