Osbourne will perform the song "Blue Bayou" with Evans.
"I'm obviously thrilled. When I spoke to my producer about who I'd like
to perform a duet with, I really thought long and hard about it, and
literally dozens of names came up. It wasn't until I was surfing the
Internet, frustrated because I couldn't find someone I felt would
really belt it out, that I found Kelly Osbourne to be a truly
exceptional vocalist that could really bring something wonderful to
this CD," says Evans. "I think Kelly has an absolutely amazing voice,
and it's a true privilege that she has agreed to do this CD with me."
The CD will feature thirteen songs, eight of which Evans wrote himself.
In addition, Evans will record "First, Last, My Everything" (Barry
White), "Tainted Love" (Soft Cell), "Mr. Lonely" (Bobby Vinton), and
"Morning Train" (Sheena Easton). A thirteenth track, "Super Spy", was
written by Ahmet Zappa, which Ahmet will also produce.
"I wanted to do something different here. If I just recorded a CD with
a bunch of tunes Sinatra already made famous, as my competitors are
doing, I believed it would just turn out to be a big budget karaoke
act, and that's not what this CD will be. This CD will capture the
crooner genre while bringing something original to it, especially some
much needed original material that remains faithful to the genre."
Evans says. "I'm not using the crooner title as a marketing hook while
I write radio friendly songs that sound nothing like the big band days.
I'm sticking to the style and you'll get what you pay for."
Fifty five musicians will play on the new CD.
Evans began his career as the opening act for Dionne Warwick, Jay Leno,
Joan Rivers, and Social Distortion. His music is heard on the popular
television shows "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Big Shots," among
others.
The news has garnered Evans more than 25,000 plays yesterday on his
MySpace music site which features previously recorded material by
Evans, along with an intro by Joan Rivers.
Grammy nominated producer Chris Walden will produce.
"This will be the CD that introduces the great talents of Brian Evans
to the world," says publicist Mark Biltz. "It's been a long time
coming."
