ALOE BLACC RELEASES NEW SINGLE “BROOKLYN IN THE SUMMER” TODAY

Song Is First Single Off Forthcoming Album

27 April 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Today, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc releases new single “Brooklyn in the Summer” via XIX Recordings/Interscope Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Co-written by Aloe Blacc, “Brooklyn in the Summer” is the first single to be announced off Blacc’s new album which will be released on later this year. Listen to “Brooklyn in the Summer” here.

“’Brooklyn in the Summer’ is a soulful ballad that reminds me of classics like Al Green's ‘Let's Stay Together’ and Earth Wind & Fire's ‘After the Love Has Gone,’” says Blacc of the song. “If you've ever fallen deep in love you can relate. If you haven't yet, then this is what real love feels like!”

Blacc’s major-label debut album, 2014’s Lift Your Spirit, debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and featured the hit single “The Man” which topped the charts with sales of more than 2.7 million. Lift Your Spirit received a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album at the 57^th Grammy Awards.

The album followed up his collaboration as vocalist and co-writer on well-known DJ/producer Avicii’s track “Wake Me Up”, a song that hit the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on its Hot Dance Club Songs and Dance/Electronic Songs charts, as well as topping charts in more than 100 countries and has sold close to 5 million copies in the U.S., and has been streamed half a billion times.

Most recently Blacc served as the guide for the MacGillivray Freeman/Brand USA film America’s Musical Journey traveling throughout the country as he traced the roots of America's music and followed the footsteps of Louis Armstrong through the colorful locales and cultures where America's music was born. Blacc notes that one of his main ambitions is to use his popularity to affect social change while continuing to infuse his music with a mindful positivity.
