Nashville, TN – Summer 2016 is starting off phenomenally for country newcomer James Dupré! Taking part in his very first CMA Music Festival with a schedule jam packed with performances, interviews and autograph sessions, James is gearing up for his album release this week. With some heavy hitters already taking notice of his title track “Stoned To Death,” fans and critics alike are sure to be just as enthralled by the rest of this solid album releasing June 17th and available for pre-order.
Music Row’s Robert Oermann offers a poignant review of “Stoned To Death”, stating, “This is a singer who exudes charisma with every note. The song is stupendously well-written, boasting both perfectly executed turns of phrases and a beautifully swelling melody. Lehning’s slowly building production bonfire is magnificent. Sign me up for the fan club. Now.”
Taste of Country declares, “If you think true country music is dead, you haven’t heard James Dupré.”
In addition to the glowing reviews, Sirius XM’s The Highway’s YouTube Country Spotlight is shining on James this week via socials and spinning the track on The Highway.
Fans can pre-order on iTunes at apple.co/1Pdhmkl or order a physical copy at Jamesdupre.com. The 10-song compilation, produced by Jordan Lehning, features James as a co-writer on seven of the 10 tracks along with hit-makers Jessi Alexander, Neal Coty and Clint Daniels.
Fans in town for the CMT Awards and CMA Music Festival were able to catch James Wednesday June 8th at 9pm at The George Jones Museum rooftop music venue overlooking the beautiful Cumberland River.
