Like fine Red Wine, “Soulboy” Alexis Evans gets better with Age. The best evidence of this could be his brand new album “Yours Truly”, released February 3rd, 2023 via Milan-based label Record Kicks. Produced and mixed by Louis-Marin Renaud (Lou Doillon, Theo Lawrence, Desmond Myers), “Yours Truly” is the third studio album by Bordeaux-based singer-songwriter Alexis Evans and 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.
Anticipated by the first single “Mr Right On Time“, the album 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.
