Sydney, AU. (SONY BMG MUSIC Entertainment) - Academy Award-winner
Jamie Foxx will release his platinum selling US No 1 album 'Unpredictable' in Australia on March 18. Including the single of the same name, 'Unpredictable' features a who's who of guests including Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, The Game, Twista,
Common and Mary J Blige, and it's set to propel
Jamie Foxx to megastar status!
When his album hit No 1 in the US, Jamie became only the fourth person in history to win an Academy Award and have a No 1 album, joining such luminaries as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Barbra Streisand.
The first single from the album, 'Unpredictable' featuring Ludacris, rocketed up the US charts, as did the international No 1 'Gold Digger', the Kanye West track featuring Jamie.
A classically trained pianist who was raised in the church, Jamie Foxx studied at San Diego Performing Arts College before moving into comedy on television and in film. His Oscar-winning performance in the film Ray was a major indication that Jamie's musical aspirations could not be held back.
The recognition that he has earned from his peers in R&B and hip-hop reinforces his dedication to music, and Jamie re-ignites his first passion with 'Unpredictable', described as "the fulfillment of a lifelong dream".
The guest appearances on the album are outstanding - Mary J. Blige on 'Love Changes', Kanye West on 'Extravaganza', The Game & Snoop Dogg on 'Be With You', Twista on 'DJ Play a Love Song' and Common on 'U Still Got It' Interlude, while Mike City, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Timbaland and Foxx himself all add their production skills to the album.
'Unpredictable' is in stores March 18
