My second long player, “Round Two”, is out on Ricky-Tick Records October 28 in Finland and November 27 in Europe. It features eight tracks, including the first single ‘The More I Look at You’ with José James on vocals.
The album features eight tracks, and I composed all of them plus co-produced the lot with Teppo “Teddy Rok” Mäkynen who also plays the drums on it. It was a real treat to work with José James and all of the guys (see list below), and we’re very happy with the end result. Vinyl buyers get a free mp3 download of the entire album plus bonus track. Out in Japan and Finland, European release November 27.
Check it out!
