Jared Braden A healthy obsession with pop music!
International pop crooner George Perris has released his debut English language album, Picture This, in North America through Destin Productions and distributed by RED/Sony Entertainment.
The record, which was recorded in Los Angeles, New York, London, Prague, Montreal and Athens, showcases some of the world’s best talents coming together. The LP features collaborations with a host of global producers, writers, arrangers and mixers including Mark Portmann (Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera), Marco Marinangeli (Josh Groban, Il Divo), Simon Hale (Bjork, Tina Arena, Jamiroquai), and Michael “Smidi” Smith (Coldplay, Haim, Chris Young).
Perris was born in Athens to a Greek father and a French mother, and has performed around the world in some of the most prestigious concert halls. He previously released three albums in Greek (with Sony Music and Heaven Music) and one album in French (with Select Records), but the multi-lingual Perris believes music transcends all boundaries. “Music, for me, is like a beautiful rainbow with many colors…it knows no nationalities, no barriers, no frontiers. Because music has its own language, the language of love, of freedom, but above all, hope.”
The first, official single from the album is the classic, ”I Will Wait For You,” taken from the French musical, “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”, and written by Michel Legrand with lyrics by Jacques Demy and Norman GimbelR. You can stream the track below. You can download Picture This on iTunes now.
