New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ dGENERATE RECORDS) On the heels of his successful single "Number One," pop artist Francis Bowie's next single, the long-awaited "Sunny Day," will be released May 6 on dGenerate Records, the label announced today.
The bright and energetic "
Sunny Day" will be the second single from Bowie's concept EP, "Sex, Drugs and Thrilling" due out in June, also on dGenerate. The EP was produced by Justin Trugman (Backstreet Boys, Eminem, JoJo and Mickey Avalon) and Jeff Blue (Linkin Park, Macy Gray, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Hoobastank).
Bowie's last single, "Number One," continues to grow in popularity. Released February 11, "
Number One" was immediately one of the most-added singles on Top 40 and adult contemporary commercial stations in the US, according to data from multiple charts. "
Number One" continues to build national radio airplay and a loyal US following for the Danish Bowie.
Bowie's exhilarating music, gender-bending sexuality and social commentaries made a splash in his native Denmark. And after hearing his eponymously titled EP in 2011, critics worldwide raved enthusiastically. "Francis Bowie is like a powerful drug - you can't help but get sucked in after you're exposed to him once," raved EVOR reviewer Rory Richardson. Meanwhile, IndieMusicDigest hailed him as an "amazing creative genius." And Blushing
Panda proclaimed, "It's like watching a male version of
Lady Gaga at times. The sound is 80′s a bit like if Har Mar
Superstar (just starting out) released music nowadays but with a modern twist."
