Promotion

As McDell is highly interactive with her fans (whom she affectionately refers to as "Gypsy Pirates"),[1] the EP was promoted via Facebook with McDell posting lyrics, guitar tabs, behind-the-scenes video diaries, photos, competitions, and invitations to showcases and premiere parties.[2] Fans were also encouraged to purchase the EP on iTunes to win handcrafted and framed lyrics made by Jamie herself.[3]

Chart performance

The EP debuted and peaked on the Top 20 New Zealand Albums chart (which features albums by New Zealand artists) at No. 8, on 14 May 2012.[4] The album dropped to No. 17 the following week and spent a total of three weeks on the chart.[4]

Music videos

Music videos featuring McDell performing each track in various beach locations were created and uploaded to her YouTube channel.[5]
