Nashville, TN…June 7, 2016 (Press Release) Summer 2016 is starting off phenomenally for country newcomer James Dupré! Taking part in his very first CMA Music Festival with a schedule jam packed with performances, interviews and autograph sessions, James is gearing up for his album release next week. With some heavy hitters already taking notice of his title track “Stoned To Death,” fans and critics alike are sure to be just as enthralled by the rest of this solid album releasing June 17th and available for pre-order today.
 
Music Row’s Robert Oermann offers a poignant review of “Stoned To Death”, stating, “This is a singer who exudes charisma with every note. The song is stupendously well-written, boasting both perfectly executed turns of phrases and a beautifully swelling melody. Lehning’s slowly building production bonfire is magnificent."
​
Starting today, fans can pre-order on iTunes or pre-order a physical copy from his website. The 10-song compilation, produced by Jordan Lehning, features James as a co-writer on seven of the 10 tracks along with hit-makers Jessi Alexander, Neal Coty and Clint Daniels.

About James Dupré: As a notable member of team Adam Levine on NBC’s “The Voice”, James Dupré earned the respect of millions of viewers, but this was not his first taste of fame. The YouTube sensation (currently nearing 10 million views) had quite the following as early as 2007, and was invited to perform on “Ellen” in 2010 before landing a record deal in 2011. As a former EMT-Paramedic from Bayou Chicot, Louisiana, Dupré’s humility and charm are as memorable as his uniquely strong baritone vocals. As a writer on 7 of the 10 tracks on his new album, co-written with hit-makers Neal Coty, Jessi Alexander and more, James is proud to share Stoned To Death produced by Jordan Lehning (Kacey Musgraves, Kree Harrison) with his existing and new fans alike.
