Electric Fairytale Recordings presents Stephen Emmer’s new album, International Blue, due out on July 8, 2014. The album pays tribute to the lost art and elegance of pop-crooning. As an accolade to this genre of elegance within the pop realm, International Blue injects a modern twist to the style with a myriad of contemporary sounds and beats, studio techniques, musical insights and lyrical meaning in ten new and original compositions. A celebration of the epic chamber music pop of Burt Bacharach, Scott Walker, Nick Cave and David Bowie, it features four of the great baritone singers in the UK today: Midge Ure (Ultravox), Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17), Liam McKahey (Cousteau) and Neil Crossley (Furlined). The album was mixed and produced by the legendary Tony Visconti at Abbey Road Studios in London. Read the rest of this entry »More info...
