Tituss Burgess CD Release and Concert of his Debut Album "Comfortable"
TITUSS BURGESS - the rising R&B vocalist and songwriter who has
starred on television in the Emmy Award winning NBC comedy "30 Rock"
an on Broadway in "Jersey Boys" and The Little Mermaid" - has
announced the release of his exciting and personal debut album
"Comfortable." He will perform a special CD release concert at New
World Stages (340 West 50th Street) with a 10-piece band on Sunday,
October 14 at 11:00 PM. The album will be available at iTunes and
CDBaby.com.
"Comfortable" is a unique and intensely-personal collection of
Burgess's original R&B songs that frankly and emotionally explore
issues of life and love. In a project that's been in development for
two years, he sings boldly and openly about feeling safe in his own
skin. "All I Need" is melodic and reflective request for a new love.
Displaying his incredible vocal range, "I'll Be Alright" is a nakedly
emotional reaction to a troubled relationship, further heightened by a
stirring string arrangement. "Stop Calling Me," riding a groove
influenced by Steve Wonder's hits of the 1970s, takes an honest look
at the financial realities of being a performer in New York. Both this
track and "It's Over" hold up expertly with the best of adult
contemporary radio. The driving "Glass Ceiling" reflects the
inspiration of 1980s performers like Phil Collins. The album's bonus
track is a soaring rendition of the popular standard, "For All We
Know," recorded live at B.B. King's.
The album is produced by Tituss Burgess and Donnie Kehr.
