LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ Escape Music) - Canadian rock recording artist Jon Mullane's new album 'Shift' will be released in
Europe on July 23, 2010 through UK label Escape Music. "Shift is a modern sounding, confidant, upbeat rock album that's as radio and chart friendly as any rock album you are ever likely to hear." Rock Realms, UK
Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Jon's songwriting combines catchy melodies with driving rock lines and his songs find their way into sports arenas and onto radio playlists because of their power to inspire.
The album's introspective ballad, 'The One That Got Away' is the first single released in 2010 and has garnered worthy comparisons to the likes of The Fray, Five For Fighting and One Republic. This multi-format song is garnering extensive radio play across the nation and is strongly connecting with listeners while steadily gaining momentum on the Canadian BDS Top 40/CHR Chart.
'Shift' was recorded in Halifax and Toronto and produced by Creighton Doane. The album was released in Canada in February of 2010, and was preceded by four charting radio singles , all included on the album: 'Go the Distance', 'Change Your Life', 'Got It Goin' On', and 'Make You Move' (which bookends the CD with two distinctly different mixes). 'Make You Move' saw heavy chart action and was featured in NBC's international promotional campaign for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and was the official theme for the World Canoe '09 Championships.
*Shift continues where my last album, The Source, left off - a shift in momentum, a shift in direction, and a shift in energy', declares Mullane. "I'm totally excited about this album bringing me a step closer to my fans in Europe and being heard by a growing international audience."
