AL SUNNY “Time To Decide” CD

★Only available on CD in Japan★Bonus tracks included

This masterpiece of modern AOR and yacht rock, the "European Ned Doheny," is available exclusively in Japan on CD from "Light Mellow Searches," supervised by Hisakazu Kanazawa! This super killer album also includes covers of Ned's classic songs!

"This is the first album by Al Sunny, the project of French singer-songwriter/sound creator Alexandre Tricard, and it is the ideal form of yacht rock that is currently attracting a lot of attention. It is a crossroads between the past and the future, capturing the influences of AOR, blue-eyed soul, and 80's boogie with a young sensibility. The cover of Ned Doheny's "Get It Up For Love" is also a high point." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

■ A talented artist discovered by Favorite Recordings!
A masterpiece recommended for all lovers of the refreshing and stylish modern West Coast sound of Ned Doheny! This is the first album by French blue-eyed soul singer Al Sunny (great name!), who was discovered by the ultra-high-end French label Favorite Recordings, which also has Andre Solonko and Lucas Arruda. Originally released only on analog and digital distribution in May 2017, this album was a hot topic among early DJs who follow the label's releases on a daily basis, but it did not reach AOR listeners widely because it was not released on CD. However, it would be a shame to treat such a masterpiece as a "hidden masterpiece"! After the subsequent global AOR revival and yacht rock boom, and the reevaluation of Ned Doheny, this album, which should be talked about now, is finally available on CD exclusively in Japan!

■ An exchange of stylish killer tunes!
The album is all high quality, from the mellow breeze "Time To Decide" with a West Coast flavor, to the urban groove "Beautiful Lady" that will make all AOR fans swoon, to a straight cover of Ned's signature song "Give It Up For Love", to the free soul chic and modern flavor of "Don't Let Nobody Know", to the extremely catchy synth boogie "Open Up Your Eyes"! And as you would expect from Favorite Works, the club-ready sense and artwork are amazing, reminiscent of Mayer Hawthorne and Benny Sings! As a bonus track on the Japanese version, a remix of "Open Up Your Eyes", released as a 12-inch single last year, is also included!
