Hear Me As I Am 1. udgave

Bryan Rice fejrer 10 års jubilæum med single og album.

Den 23. februar markerer Bryan Rice sine 10 år på den danske musikscene med albummet Hear Me As I Am og singlen Beat Of My Own Drum.

I 2005 strøg Bryan Rice direkte til tops på den danske hitliste med sangen No Promises et af de største hits i dansk musikhistorie. Siden da har han udgivet fire albums, turneret Danmark tynd og desuden deltaget i DMGP, medvirket i Helmig-teaterkoncert og været nomineret til Årets sanger ved Zulu Awards. Med titlen Hear Me As I Am er han nu klar med sit femte og til dato mest personlige album der samtidig markerer hans 10år lange karriere som professionel sanger/sangskriver på den danske musikscene.

Dét her album, er mig - det er mine tanker og min idé om, hvordan god pop skal lyde, fortæller Bryan der har skrevet, indspillet og produceret sit album i tæt samarbejde med producer og sangskriver Christoffer Stjerne:

"Det har været en fantastisk proces at skrive og indspille denne her plade fordi vi har givet os rigtig god tid til at nørde igennem og prøve en masse forskelligt af. Resultatet er at jeg kan høre mig selv - mit beat og min musikalitet, i hvert enkelt track".

Netop det personlige kommer helt bogstaveligt frem i singlen Beat Of My Own Drum (skrevet i samarbejde med Engelina), for som titlen siger det, handler nummeret om at lytte til sig selv og følge sin intuition.

Det drive jeg har følt gennem hele albummets tilblivelsesproces har naturligvis smittet af på både sangskrivning og produktion. Der er jo ingen tvivl om at musikmarkedet er blevet mere komplekst og at vejen til succes derfor ikke er blevet lettere - snarere tværtimod. Derfor skal man selv være drivkraften i det hele. Dét har jeg taget som en kærkommen udfordring jeg er topmotiveret og føler mig fuldstændig ustoppelig!.

Bryan Rice celebrates 10th anniversary with single and album

On 23 February, Bryan Rice will mark 10 years on stage in Denmark by releasing the album Hear Me As I Am and the single Beat Of My Own Drum.

In 2005, the Bryan Rice single No Promises went straight to the top of the Danish charts and became one of the biggest hits in Danish music history. Since then, he released four albums, toured every corner of the nation, participated twice in the Danish Eurovision Song Contest, featured in a theatre concert tribute to Danish singing legend Thomas Helmig and was nominated for Singer of the Year at the Zulu Awards.

Under the title Hear Me As I Am, Bryan is now ready to release his fifth and most personal album to date. The album also marks his 10 year career as a professional singer/songwriter on the Danish music scene.

This album is me these are my thoughts and ideas about the sound of good pop music, says Bryan, who wrote, recorded and produced his album in close collaboration with producer and songwriter Christoffer Stjerne:

"Its been an amazing process to write and record this album because we took the time to work on every single detail and try all sorts of different ideas. Consequently, I can hear myself my beat and my musicality in each and every track".

The personal aspect is unmistakable in the single Beat Of My Own Drum (co-written with Engelina). As the title implies, the song is all about listening to yourself and following your intuition.

Obviously, the drive I felt throughout the creation of the album, influenced both song writing and production. Clearly, the music market has become more complex rendering the road to success more difficult to negotiate. Therefore, you need to be your own motivating force. I chose to welcome this challenge. I feel extremely motivated and completely unstoppable!
