LOS ANGELES, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- American Idol Alum Frenchie Davis, who has been seen recently in Ain't Misbehaving, and previously on Broadway in Rent and Dreamgirls, has joined forces with breakout dance/hip-hop recording artist T.R's revamp of the 1984 #1 dance hit "Give Me Tonight " by Shannon. Currently a Billboard Dance chart breakout, it's been 3 weeks at #3 on Perfectbeat.com, one of the world's top online dance music retail sites(ahead of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and the Pussycat Dolls.)
The album single "Give Me Tonight "was released on Dauman Music (www.daumanmusic.com) and is distributed by Federal Distribution in association with the Universal Music Group. Label CEO Jason Dauman says, "Both T.R and Frenchie blend well, and this record has a unique aesthetic. I'm pleased to say the reaction to this record has been positive and immediate."
"Give Me Tonight " is gaining popularity with the strength of unique superstar remixes DJ Escape, Johnny Vicious, Mike Rizzo, and the Klubjumpers. They have combined for over 50 #1s on the Billboard Dance Club Play charts. They have worked with artists including Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Shakira, Britney Spears, Akon, Mariah Carey, the Pussycat Dolls, and Lil Wayne. Co-producer Dan Mathews of the Klubjumpers said, "Dance Radio is already asking for this record, and I'm pleased to have been a part of it."
Aspiring entertainment mogul & executive producer T.R (www.myspace.com/1tr1beantown) was a former model for clients such as Ralph Lauren and Abercrombie & Fitch, as well as managing sports figures seen on ESPN and HBO. This new genre called "Dance-Hop hybrid," that T.R developed over 2 years prior to this release, focuses on hi energy and sound, but with a touch of commercial flare "I thought by mixing these elements, it would create a breath of fresh air that listeners could identify with." DJ Mike Rizzo, agrees: "This was a great opportunity to fuse a dance and hip-hop culture with T.R's originality and Frenchie's established powerhouse voice."
