I was dreaming when I saw you
I was dreaming on the avenue
I was dreaming when the bomb blew
Because this endless desire won't leave me alone

--Dan Black “Alone”
Like an artist who paints with sample banks and synthesizers, electro-pop performer DAN BLACK revisits and revises everything that’s right about rock, rap and R&B of the past 30 years. This week, the U.K. music export will return to North America to join Robyn and Kelis on the "All Hearts" tour prior to appearances at Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. He will also be appearing on JBTV, Chicago’s longest running alternative music TV show, tonight at 11 p.m. CT. His performance of his hit single “Symphonies” can be seen on WJYS 62 Chicago, www.jbtvonline.com or via iTunes podcast.
In addition, the singer/multi-instrumentalist/producer has announced he will release a new single from his debut album ((un)) out now on The Hours. “Alone" will arrive sometime in mid-August as a package including a video from visual collaborator Chic & Artistic, a remix by dubstep pioneer MJ Cole and a brand new b-side track “Liz And Johnny.” Further details will be released at a later date.
Hailing from Great Britain, but currently residing in Paris, France, DAN BLACK came upon the music scene as the vocalist for alt-rockers the Servant. The dance-pop purveyor caught the ears of dance fans with his pop/rock/hip-hop stylings with the songs “Yours,” “HYPNTZ”—his mashup of lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize” with samples from Rihanna’s “Umbrella”—and ((un))’s breakthrough first single “Symphonies” featuring Kid Cudi which garnered him critical praise in the press, with the New York Post stating, “[Dan Black] will give you that fizzle and sizzle your ears are yearning for."
