| New Aaron Neville's Album Aaron Neville, has gone into the studio in Los Angeles to record his new, as of yet untitled album. This is Neville's first Sony BMG release. Due in September, the album will be comprised of 15 all-time soul classics, including Otis Redding's "Dock Of The Bay" and Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me." "Legendary soul classics performed by one of the greatest soul voices of the 20th Century ... it doesn't get better than that, " says Joe DiMuro, EVP/General Manager of Sony BMG's Burgundy Records. "By putting our own twist on it, we are making these beloved soul classics new again." Stewart Levine will produce the album. Levine, who has worked with a bevy of platinum selling artists, including Jamie Cullum, Simply Red and BB King, has produced over 10 Grammy-award winning records. "This is very natural ground for Aaron, as he grew up immersed in the sounds of classic rhythm and blues. It's not a departure or some grand "concept" -- it's a very natural fit for him and something he's wanted to do for a very long time, " says Levine. A number of exciting collaborations with some very special guests are planned for the album as well. "I am excited to be a part of Burgundy Records and look forward to giving my existing fans and, hopefully, new fans some brand new music, " says Aaron Neville. New Orleans' "first son" and four-time Grammy award-winning artist, Neville has a trademark angelic voice and an impressive body of work to go along with it. The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group recently launched its new record label, Burgundy Records. The Sony BMG SMG imprint plans to sign legendary multi-platinum artists and release new titles in conjunction with an innovative marketing campaign that will promote the artists through traditional and non-traditional channels. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
