Kane Alexander - Kane Alexander (debut Album)

Kane Alexander (debut Album)

The concept for the album emerged from Kane's passion for pop, opera and the sweeping orchestration of the most memorable movie themes.

"I wanted to make an album that moved people, with songs that told a story. I wanted to take the listener on a journey. But I wanted a cinematic sound. I wanted the orchestra to be scored the way a film score would be scored. This had to be an album that I wanted to listen to myself."

According to his Myspace page, Kane Alexander has stated that he was happy that Sony BMG allowed him to spend three years capturing his vision for the album. This allowed him to get the right producer and sound for the record. The debut album was recorded in Stockholm and London, with the efforts of producers and songwriters such as Andes Bagge, Quiz & Larossi, Tom Nichols, Tim Baxter and Sigurd Rosnes as well as members of the Stockholm Symphony Orchestra (who appear on every track).

Come Vivrei is an enchanting Italian adaption of Trisha Yearwood's Grammy award winning song, How Do I Live, whereas other classics included are the poetic Kiss From A Rose by Seal, and Crying by Roy Orbison, both reworked into baritone adaptions from their original versions. Much loved classics Le Cose Che Sei Per Me, Di Sole E D'Azzuro and Nella Fantasia are also included. This album also contains the origin of the Tina Arena duet, with a studio version of the song Timeless that they subsequently performed for The Footy Show.

Kane Alexander professes that he never saw himself as a writer, yet contributed his song writing talents to co-writing two songs on the album, opener Escape and epilogue Breathe. These were co-written with Andes Bagge and Tom Nichols.
