Brooklyn-based and Chicago-born singer-songwriter Todd Carey
will be releasing his EP, entitled The Duets Project, exclusively
online on July 17, 2012. Says Carey of the EP: “The Duets
Project came about in a very natural and organic way. Fans and friends
had been requesting stripped-down and intimate recordings of songs from my
catalogue.”
Featured on the EP are five amazingly talented women dueting
with Carey: Alysse Fischer, Dawn Mitschele, Daphne Willis, Sarah Miles,
and Amber Rubarth. Says Carey of his choice to record duets:
“Having the material and desire to collaborate with a variety of female singers
for a long time, it became the perfect opportunity to combine both ideas. While
writing and recording the high-energy pop music for my next album, it became a
quiet and meditative outlet artistically. It was also a great chance to debut a
songwriting direction I've been exploring with the track “Float Away” [a track
on the EP]. I’m really happy with the resulting EP and to be working with
the Rock Ridge Music label.”
Carey’s most recent release, 2010’s After The
Morning After EP, hit the Top 40 on iTunes’ Pop Chart and was produced
by Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat, Five for Fighting). Previously, he
released three solo albums (Elevate, Revolving World, andWatching
Waiting [which came out through Universal’s Fontana Distribution]) and
an additional EP (Whitefish Bay Sessions). Carey is no stranger to
touring and has criss-crossed the country repeatedly, playing over 250 shows in
support of After The Morning After. He’s toured with and
performed on stage with numerous artists including Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Marc
Broussard, Keaton Simons and Matt Duke. Music from his Watching
Waiting album was featured in the film “Palo Alto” and on MTV's “The
Real World.” Billboard magazine called Watching
Waiting “…custom-made for the top of the pop charts... with a witty
edge.”
Carey is hitting the road again this summer for the “Float
Away Tour” with Bushwalla, which has already stopped in Milwaukee at Summerfest
this month. Additionally, Carey has two dates with Tony Lucca in Florida
in September before he performs at Hotel Carolina in Isle of Palms, SC.
