“Mr Right on Time” is the first single from “Yours Truly”, the much-awaited upcoming new album by Bordeaux-based singer-songwriter Alexis Evans and it’s out now on all digital platforms. Watch the official music video, set in Paris and directed by Jeremy Trellu. The new album is set for release on February 3rd, 2023 on LP, CD and digital via Milan-based label Record Kicks. Produced and mixed by Louis-Marin Renaud (Lou Doillon, Theo Lawrence, Desmond Myers), “Yours Truly” is the artist’s third studio album and it sees the light 4 years after his previous LP “I’ve Come A Long Way”, defined “Soul album of The Year” by Rolling Stone France. “Yours Truly” consists of 12 brilliantly soulful cuts that take direct inspiration from 60’s & 70’s classic soul music adding a sound that is firmly rooted in the new millennium.
About the single, Alexis explains: “Love may be the number one subject in soul music and clearly has its place of honor in a few songs of the album, including “Mister right on time”, which tends to deal with it in a more cynical but poetic way. I wrote this song while doing a track with samples of some Barry White’s drum parts”.
“Yours Truly” was recorded between Bordeaux and Nantes during 2021 and beginning of 2022. The idea behind the new album was to find a unique sound, mixing classic 60’s & 70’s soul music with more contemporary influences such as hip hop beats, jazz, reggae, and Caribbean sounds. To do that, Alexis paired up with producer Louis-Marin Renaud, known for his work with French-English singer, actress and model Lou Doillon and country-soul rising star Theo Lawrence, who took part in the arrangements and mixed the album.
