With their debut album heading to the top of the charts, electric string quartet Escala are today named the legs of innovative hosiery brand Pretty Polly.

The glamorous four-piece caused a sensation in the final of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in 2008 and were immediately signed by music mogul Simon Cowell. This week saw them triumphantly return to the show with a performance of the Led Zeppelin classic Kashmir, watched by 15 million viewers.

Escala’s fresh, innovative approach and home-grown talent identified them as the perfect partner for Pretty Polly and the relaunch of the innovative Pretty Polly Naturals a collection of ‘better than bare’ products.

Chantal from the group says ‘We are thrilled to be selected to represent such an established British brand as Pretty Polly. The Naturals collection complements each of our skin tones perfectly and provides us with that coveted ‘air-brushed’ look without the air-brushing!

The Pretty Polly Naturals collection is a perfect option as the weather begins to heat up. Pretty Polly’s chic and stylish Naturals range already has a reputation for being ‘better than bare’. Now the all-new collection goes one step further to provide the coolest, smoothest, most natural and comfortable sheer tights you can possibly find.

The launch of the fabulous new Pretty Polly imagery coincides with the release of Escala’s self-titled debut album, out this week. Already on route to the chart summit, the record is an eclectic, sexy and genre defying collection. Featuring the girls’ interpretations of a host of well known pop classics, with a little help from luminaries Trevor Horn and rock legend guitarist Slash, the album offers the ladies versions of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, Robert Miles’s Children and Live And Let Die by Wings.

Since reaching the final of Britain’s Got Talent in 2008, and signing their seven figure record deal courtesy of music mogul Simon Cowell, pop goddesses and electric string quartet ESCALA have been on a mission. A mission to break down the barriers of classical music; to inject new, pop energy into a genre so often ignored by contemporary mainstream and to take the world along for the ride! A year later as they release their self-titled debut album, the ladies are about to utter the immortal words…’mission accomplished’.

Unreality TV have managed to get out hands on five copies of the album, so if you fancy winning one then just send us your email address here. It’s as simple as that!

Escala’s self titled debut album is an eclectic, sexy and genre defying collection. Featuring the girls’ interpretations of a host of well known pop classics (with some surprises along the way) the album sits as happily alongside the sounds of Kylie Minogue or Girls Aloud as it does Vivaldi and Bach. The group is passionate about using classical string instruments in a modern and thrilling fashion, especially if it encourages children to embrace learning to play. “It is so important to show children that it can be cool.” says band member Chantal. “It works! After the finals of Britain’s Got Talent, I went back to the school where I taught and so many girls and boys, who had seen us on television, came up to me and said how they really wanted to learn viola and would I teach them.”

The album is perhaps best showcased by the quartet’s version of Children, originally recorded by Italian DJ Robert Miles. Emotive, rousing and likely to enduce tears, the song’s pulsating electronic groove provides the perfect soundtrack to a Friday night. Kashmir, the girls’ interpretation of the Led Zeppelin classic, provides the album’s most unexpected collaboration. After hearing about ESCALA from Simon Cowell at Elton John’s Oscars party, ex Guns N’ Roses icon Slash became enchanted, immediately agreeing to add his spine-tingling guitar riffs to the track. The result is a rock anthem of epic proportions and a song member Tasya is particularly pleased with, “It’s finally given me credibility with my brother!Sisters aren’t often considered cool by their brothers but he’s delighted he can boast that I’ve worked with a rock god!”

Susan Boyle will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show this Monday.

The singer will feature as part of an episode titled ‘The World’s Got Talent’ along with Simon Cowell and last years BGT runner’s up, Escala and Signature. Last year’s America’s Got Talent winner, opera singer Neal E Boyd, will also appear on the programme.

Susan’s section has been pre-filmed at her home in Scotland in which she gives viewers a tour. She will also conduct an interview via skype.

However Simon Cowell has banned Susan from singing on the show fearing it would upset some of her fellow competitors. Simon will also be chatting to Oprah about the shows universal appeal.

A source told The Mirror: Simon wont be able to keep a smile from his face as the show just seems to be getting bigger and better.

Sexy string quartet Escala are all set to land a £1 million deal with record company Sony BMG.

Simon Cowell is said to be keen to sign up the girls and try to break them in America.

A source told the News Of The World: “After seeing Escala’s performance on Friday night, Simon decided that win or lose, he was going to turn the girls into his next mega-money makers.

“They’ve got it all – the looks, intelligence and right attitude to make it big, and their music has wide appeal.

“He thinks the US will be a huge market for them and is lining up big TV appearances to build the interest.”

Cowell believes the group can become millionaires if they work with him.

The source added: “Simon’s convinced Escala will repeat the success Leona Lewis is having in the US. McFly are very popular in the UK and have had 13 top ten singles here, but they are unknown in America, where the big money is made. Bands like theirs just don’t take off there.”
