Brandon Burrows - "On The Move"

Despite being only 14 years-old, Brandon Burrows is going places. The soulful pop crooner just released his debut disc, On The Move. The title track has been garnering radio spins across the nation and reviewers are beginning to notice the talented teen that possesses the poise and passion of an old soul.

The seventeen-song collection, produced by Amber & Rob Whitlock, is comprised of compositions by iconic singer-songwriters Stevie Wonder, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, Bob Marley, Ray Charles, and Kenny Loggins along with a pair of originals, including one co-penned by Burrows (“Chase Your Dreams”).

On The Move was recorded in New York City where the city’s finest session players helped Burrows realize his dream including keyboardist Rob Whitlock (The Jazz Crusaders), guitarist Chuck Loeb (Kirk Whalum, Metro), bassist Will Lee (David Letterman’s Late Show Band, Sting), bassist Anthony Jackson (Steely Dan, Madonna), bassist Alex Al (Herbie Hancock), drummer Cliff Almond (Michel Camilo), trombonist Andy Martin (Natalie Cole, Pussycat Dolls), trumpeter Wayne Bergeron (Christina Aguilara, Ray Charles) and saxophonist John Rekevics (Checkfield, Big Mountain) along with vocalists Amber Whitlock (Max Bennett), Jim Gilstrap (Stevie Wonder) and Dorian Holley (American Idol vocal coach).

To launch the album, Burrows performed with a full band in a packed club Memorial Day weekend in San Diego, his hometown since moving from Guam at the age of four. He’s looking forward to taking the stage again for additional Southern California shows.

Meanwhile, some critics have hailed Burrows as a gifted artist to watch. “He's got depth, range and a lot of heart and soul…You will definitely hear more from Brandon, one of the best young talents we have heard in a long time!” (O’s Place Jazz Newsletter). “It takes major confidence to tackle some of the biggest pop, gospel and R&B songs…But Burrows gets the job done in fine fashion…On The Move is an impressive debut and now sets the stage for what should be more great music from this rising star.” (N2Entertainment.net) “This is timeless stuff…all delivered with gusto and an authority that belies Brandon’s age. Comparisons will be made to early Michael Jackson (Brandon’s cover of the Jackson Five’s ‘I Want You Back’ will definitely take you back and aback.), so get aboard the early fan-base. Believe me, this kid has talent to spare!” (SmoothJazz.com)
