The Puppini Sisters have unveiled their brand new single ‘Honeysuckle Rose’, the latest taste of their upcoming, celebratory, brand new album ‘The Birthday Party’, out 27th March 2026.
The single is vintage Puppini in every way; a stylish cover of a Jazz standard in their own imitable style of close harmony.
It’s taken from their brand new record ‘The Birthday Party’, out 27th March 2026, which marks 20 years since their debut album. They’ll also embark upon a celebratory run of UK dates – The Birthday Tour – taking place in May.
For two decades, The Puppini Sisters have brought vintage glamour and vocal fireworks to audiences around the world with fabulous frocks, festival stage appearances, platinum records and attracting famous fans from Michael Bublé and Cyndi Lauper to Robbie Williams, and even King Charles.
They celebrate turning 20 with this new album, comprising of original material and covers like ‘Honeysuckle Rose’ that they have been saving up for the occasion.
“From day one, we’ve kept a list of songs we’d like to record, but weren’t sure if we could,” says Marcella. “Some have worked fantastically. Others have been epic failures. People assume we can turn any hit into a Puppini’s song, but that’s not the case.”
Leader Marcella Puppini and original band member Kate Mullins have reunited with Rosanna Schura, a very early Puppini Sister who returned briefly in 2016 for this new album. They will also tour with the same outstanding line-up featured on the album: Martin Kolarides on guitar, Henrik Jensen on double bass, and Peter Ibbetson on drums.
Bologna-born Marcella formed the trio at London’s Trinity College of Music in 2004, and by the following year they were signed. Their debut, ‘Betcha Bottom Dollar’, saw their sassy, swing rearrangements transform songs from all eras – ‘Mr Sandman’, ‘Jeepers Creepers’ and ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’ (from Company B) sat alongside Blondie’s ‘Heart of Glass’, Kate Bush’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Panic’ by The Smiths.
The album went Top 20 in Britain and spent almost a year on the Billboard chart. The Puppini Sisters have toured the world ever since, spawning a new scene and watching as mainstream pop embraced their burlesque-inspired aesthetic.
The Puppini Sisters’ retro-glam look came initially from Vivienne Westwood, where Marcella used to work, and east London’s underground club scene, as they flourished in two worlds at once – the club scene and the mainstream.
With their trademark wit, glamour, and dazzling three-part harmonies, The Puppini Sisters continue to reinvent the golden age of swing for modern audiences. From intimate cabaret clubs to the world’s biggest stages, they remain unmatched in their ability to blend nostalgia with fresh invention.
As they raise a glass to two decades of music, ‘The Birthday Party’, and The Birthday Tour promises to be a glittering celebration of everything that makes The Puppini Sisters a truly timeless act.
