MAN ON A MISSION

From EAST OF ANGEL TOWN
Written by Peter Cincotti

“East of Angel Town” is Peter Cincotti’s third album and the first under David Foster’s production. It was released in Europe in the fall of 2007 to very good reviews and success. Its North American release is slated for the spring of 2008. “East of Angel Town” is a radical departure from the jazz/traditional pop atmospheres of Cincotti’s first two records that lead to comparisons with the likes of Michael Bublé and Harry Connick Jr. On the new album, Cincotti and Foster went for an absolute instrumental sophistication with a modern pop approach stylized after Billy Joel with echoes of newer acts like Maroon 5 and Jamie Callum.
