Alexis Evans releases a live in studio EP, listen to the first single "Mister Right On Time (Live at Blars Studio)".
Bordeaux Soul singer Alexis Evans unleashes the first single from "The Blars Sessions", an EP recorded at Blars Studio in the South of France, to be released just in time for Christmas next December 22. The first extract is a soulful reprise of "Mister Right On Time (Live at Blars Studio)", available on all digital platforms on December 05. "Mister Right On Time" was the first single from Alexis' latest album "Yours Truly", which was released at the beginning of the year on Record Kicks. The new version sounds soulful and powerful with a lush orchestration thanks to the enlarged 8 piece lineup with two backing vocals and a full horn section.
Alexis Evans, songwriter with a timeless style based in Bordeaux, France, found the love of music and learnt to play guitar thanks to his father, an English musician. His inspirations range from Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke to David Bowie. At the age of 17, he debuted with his first project "Jumping to the Westside", with which he was awarded the "Cognac Blues Passion" prize and flew to the "International Blues Challenge" in Memphis, Tennessee, where he impressed the American audience even though he was still a teenager. Mr. Evans has built a household name in the scene as the "enfant prodige of soul" starting with his first album, released in 2015, and consolidated his reputation with his second long play "I've Come a Long Way", released in 2019 on Record Kicks. Rolling Stone France described it as "The Soul album of the year", while Blues & Soul Magazine and BBC 6 defined him as "One of the most exciting additions to the international Soul Scene". His third studio album is "Yours Truly", which was released last February 03 2023 on Record Kicks.
