AI_NEWS~ Decca Press Release - CLAY AIKEN COMES FULL CIRCLE WITH ALBUM OF TIMELESS CLASSICS TRIED AND TRUE

CLAY AIKEN COMES FULL CIRCLE WITH ALBUM OF TIMELESS CLASSICS TRIED AND TRUE



Aiken's First Recording For Decca To Be Released June 1st

May 7, 2010 (New York, NY) -- Clay Aiken has never sounded more at home than he does singing the lushly arranged classics on his fifth studio album Tried and True — the international pop phenomenon's first album for Decca Records. Showcasing Aiken's powerful voice and considerable interpretive gifts, the new CD is comprised of songs from the '50s and '60s that Aiken grew up listening to as a child. The platinum-selling artist and idol to many has arguably never sounded better. Tried and True will be available everywhere on June 1st.

For Aiken, Tried and True (so named because he feels the songs have stood the test of time) was about getting back to himself after a career performing more pop-oriented material. "There are a lot of elements to this album that are about me returning to what I'm comfortable with," Aiken says. "To me, older songs are more melodically appealing and beautiful. So doing this album was an opportunity to just be myself."

Aiken's delight in the material on his new disc shines through with his impeccable vocal delivery, as well as his genuine emotional connection to each track. Highlights include swinging album opener "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," made famous by Frankie Valli; "Misty," the Johnny Mathis hit, and a soulful rendition of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds." Tried and True also features two songs Aiken sang while appearing as a contestant on the second season of American Idol: "Mack the Knife" and "Unchained Melody," alongside songs with guest appearances by saxophonist David Sanborn on "What Kind of Fool Am I?" and Broadway star Linda Eder on Roy Orbison's "Crying."

Aiken launched his career journey seven years ago on American Idol, where he won over millions of viewers with his phenomenal voice and down-home charm. He parlayed his success into full-fledged stardom, selling more than six million copies worldwide of his previous four albums, all of which debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard chart. In addition, Aiken has launched nine live tours, made the New York Times best-seller list by co-authoring the inspirational memoir Learning to Sing: Hearing the Music In Your Life, and won several American Music and Billboard Music Awards — all while donating a significant amount of his time to such charities as his own foundation, National Inclusion Project and acting as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. In January 2008, Aiken made his Broadway debut in the role of Sir Robin in the Tony Award-winning musical Monty Python's Spamalot. In June, he embarks on a co-headlining jaunt with good friend Ruben Studdard.

Grammy Award-winner Jamie Foxx has jumped aboard the American Idol train just weeks before the show and Simon's stint as judge come to an end.

Slated to mentor the final four contestants, including Michael Lynche and Crystal Bowersox, this becomes Foxx's second visit to 'Idol' (he mentored season eight's final five last year).

In related news, Foxx is gearing up for the release of his next studio album, a follow up to the Grammy nominated album, "Intuition". Led by the buzz single "Winner," the album is expected to feature collaborations with Justin Timberlake, T.I. and Lil Wayne.
