The Blars Sessions

Bordeaux Soul singer Alexis Evans unleashes "The Blars Sessions" an EP recorded at Blars Studio in the South of France just in time for Christmas on December 22. The EP contains 2 songs from his latest album "Yours Truly", released at the beginning of the year on Record Kicks and the unreleased soulful number "This Face".

The EP sounds soulful and powerful with a lush orchestration thanks to the enlarged 8 piece lineup with two backing vocals and a full horn section.

Alexis Evans, songwriter with a timeless style based in Bordeaux, France, found the love of music and learnt to play guitar thanks to his father, an English musician. His inspirations range from Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke to David Bowie. At the age of 17, he debuted with his first project "Jumping to the Westside", with which he was awarded the "Cognac Blues Passion" prize and flew to the "International Blues Challenge" in Memphis, Tennessee, where he impressed the American audience even though he was still a teenager. Mr. Evans has built a household name in the scene as the "enfant prodige of soul" starting with his first album, released in 2015, and consolidated his reputation with his second long play "I've Come a Long Way", released in 2019 on Record Kicks. Rolling Stone France described it as "The Soul album of the year", while Blues & Soul Magazine and BBC 6 defined him as "One of the most exciting additions to the international Soul Scene". His third studio album is "Yours Truly", which was released last February 03 2023 on Record Kicks.
