Jay Sean
When it comes to the business of being a singer there are artists, there are stars and there are phenomenons. Jay Sean is all of the above. The proof is in the press, the sales, the fans and above all, the music.
ALL OR NOTHING is both Jay Sean's first American release and first for Cash Money/Universal Republic Records. But while it's his debut over here, the 26-year-old Pop/R&B singer/songwriter/producer has been a major sensation and multi-platinum artist over there since 2004; releasing two smash albums, scoring two top ten singles, nominated for Britain's heralded MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award twice and building a worldwide, fervid fan-base that stretches from Russia to Australia to NYC.
Erik Hassle
Three years is a long time at a point when overnight success is taken to be the norm, but at the age of just twenty singer, songwriter and idiosyncratic soul pop talent Erik Hassle already believes in taking things slowly. It is just as well: his signature tune ‘Hurtful’ took a year to start climbing the charts in Sweden, but that first trickle of success quickly became a tidal wave.
Now the cycle begins again in the UK, not with ‘Hurtful’ (yet) but, to kick things off, with the synthy acoustic number ‘Don’t Bring Flowers’. There is also an album titled ‘Hassle’. You can trace it back, if you wish, to a tiny village voted the most boring place in all of Sweden, and the first time Hassle picked up a drum stick at the age of five then fell in love with the Wilson Pickett albums belonging to his best friend’s father. But the real story of this album is a more recent three year window of life, frozen in song.
