It’s been a good 2 months since we discovered the ‘land of Fire’, Azerbaijan, so time we cover it once more with more details about Azerbaijani singer Emin.
After having performed during the interval of the Eurovision Song Contest, for no less than 150 million people worldwide, the singer released his new album ‘After the Storm’, preceeded by the single ‘Baby Get Higher’.
The second single, ‘Walk Through Walls’, will be released on August 27 in the UK and is described as an uplifting song of hope and optimism. Keeping it in tune with the Olymic spirit awww. The track was written by Bran and Bnann (Infadels) with Emin as co-writer, produced by Tim Bran (Charlatans, The View) and mixed by Ash Howes.
Not a bad song at all, and something tells us this pop direction of Emin could well see him return to the Eurovision stage representing Azerbaijan.
Busy weeks are coming up for this lovely fella. Emin Agalarov, simply known as Emin is gearing up to release his second album ‘After the Thunder’ on May 21st. The Azeri singer has caught the attention in the UK since the success of the album ‘Wonder’ and its singles last year (BBC Radio 2 album of the week anyone?) and has since has been signed to EMI Germany to release his future singles and album internationally.
The lead to his new album, ”Baby Get Higher” can already count on the support of BBC Radio 2 as it’s been featured on their A-Playlist. As this years Eurovision interval act on May 26th, the singer has all the potential to score across Europe with this new track. It’s a great track which mixes pop music with consistent lyrics and a warm voice, giving the song an extra touch. The track which is co-written by Mark Read (from A1) is the perfect introduction for the self -assured, genuine man of many talents. Originally born in Baku, Azerbaijan Emin relocated at an early age to Moscow and has since studied in Europe , completing further studies in Jersey, United States and becoming a very successful entrepreneur in the States and Russia.
On the new album, Emin continues to work with producer Brian Rawling (James Morrison, Olly Murs, Jls, Cher) who continues to allow Emin’s passion for music and song writing shine through, making him the perfect ambassador for Azerbaijani music. As we mentioned, Emin has also been announced as the interval act during this years Eurovision Song Contest final, which will be held on May 26. ”To perform in front of so many people at the Eurovision Song Contest in your home country, would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Both as an artist and an Azeri”.
The new album by Emin ”After the Thunder” is out on May 21st. The new single ”Baby Get Higher”-EP is out now on iTunes. The single edit of the song can also be downloaded for free via this link
