Rising Americana Singer/Songwriter Jeremie Albino has emerged as one of the summer’s most exciting new artists to watch, and it was just announced that he’ll release his wildly impressive debut album Hard Time August 9th on Cinematic Music Group. The music pays homage to other musical troubadours who rambled down similar paths throughout history- Jeremie nods slyly to the legendary blues singers who inspired him, offers a soft and insightful touch with his folk songs, and stomps and swaggers through soulful rock ‘n’ roll. The first recordings were laid down at the Bombshelter in Nashville with producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Langhorne Slim), and the rest was finished off at Union Sound in Toronto with Crispin Day. The album is available for pre-order now – PRESS HERE to purchase.
In conjunction with today’s album announcement, Jeremie has also shared another taste of what’s to come with the release of “The Cabin” featuring background vocals from Hannah Georgas, Carleigh Aikins and Taylor Guitard – PRESS HERE to listen and HERE to view a stunning live performance of the song – which premiered exclusively via The Bluegrass Situation.
Jeremie Albino is a force. His previous single, “Last Night,” was deemed “a rock and pop juggernaut that reflects the hearty musicianship of Nathaniel Rateliff and a throwback honkytonk sensibility,” said Glide. They continued .. “Albino appears to be the next in line of emotive band leaders that project soul and directness atop a head turning sound.”
Born and raised in the bright and booming metropolis of Toronto, Jeremie Albino’s heart led him out of the city and into Prince Edward County, where country living and a decade of working on farms gave him the time and space to hone his songwriting skills. Jeremie is a natural and an original, created by an alchemy that favors, above all else, that most mysterious and coveted of qualities: heart. And Hard Time overflows with it. The sagas of out-sized characters and the vivid imagery they pass through are given proper treatment by the peaks and valleys of Albino’s music, dynamic enough to conjure something light as the sway of flowers in the wind, or the grandeur of an apocalyptic storm. “They’re stories I wrote that came from daydreams,” says Jeremie, “about life, love, people, and another time.”
