(Atlantic) Marc Broussard has announced details of his forthcoming self-titled album which is set to hit stores on June 14th. The collection will be heralded by the new single, "Only Everything." The track recently impacted Hot AC radio outlets nationwide on March 14th , while "Lucky," will ship to Triple A radio outlets nationwide on March 28th.
"This is as honest as any record I've ever made," he explains. "I wasn't trying to surprise the listener. We just took some of the basic feelings as well as some of the more specific stories surrounding my life and applied them to the lyrics."
The story behind "Marc Broussard" – appropriately this unique artist's first self-titled album – is simple yet eloquent: It's great music, pulled from the heart, crafted impeccably and delivered with the deep emotion that has long marked Broussard as one of the great vocalists of our time. As ever, Broussard achieves a depth in all aspects of his writing and singing through his love for and mastery of tradition.
Strong currents of R&B, sanctified church and the many other flavors of his Louisiana bayou home nourish his songs, performed with the able assistance of his crack band, a team of Nashville and Louisiana-based session aces, and producer Jamie Kenney. From the exhilarating drive of its first single, "Only Everything," to the hushed and exultant old-school soul of "Lucky," to the swampy blues that haunts "Eye on the Prize," "MARC BROUSSARD" stands as a lesson in transplanting the seeds of American music into the spirit of today.
