Anderson & Petty today said, “We have been writing together for nearly ten years and in that time we have released two studio albums and an array of stand-alone singles featuring many wonderful performers from Broadway and the West End. Wish is a Christmas album and for the last few years we have hosted concerts in New York and London every season to raise money for some of our favourite charities.

THREE NEW SINGLES COMING OVER THE NEXT MONTH – THE CUTTING ROOM SESSIONS FEAT. JEN BURLEIGH-BENTZ, RACHEL SCHUR & MIKE MILLAN + CURTIS WILEY

/in /by

Over the next month we will be releasing three new singles which have never been available to stream before. A few years ago we went into The Cutting Room Studios in New York City to lay down three tracks from various projects that we had been working on. The first release I Do which dropped on Friday 7th August and featuring vocals from Jen Burleigh-Bentz (Mamma Mia!) follows the life of Erika LaTour Eiffel who legally married the Eiffel Tower. We were asked to write the song as part of a “docu-musical” project called Objects of Desire which detailed the lives of people with Object Sexuality or Objectophilia which is a form of sexual or romantic attraction focused on particular inanimate objects. Check out the song on Spotify here I Do. You can also see Jen performing the song live at 54 Below in New York here I Do

On the 21st August we will be releasing Dreamworld featuring vocals from Rachel Schur (Chicago) & Mike Millan (Escape To Margaritaville) which started off as a jingle/theme song that we were asked to write for a new tea company called Realit ✓. Check out their website here

And finally on 4th September we will be releasing He Never Lost The Fight featuring vocals from Curtis Wiley (Ain’t Too Proud) which was for a project called Ghost in the House, The Life and Times of Jack Johnson, a new play written by Ernie Hudson and Frank Megna and starring Tony Todd of Candyman fame. Jack Johnson (March 31, 1878 – June 10, 1946), nicknamed the “Galveston Giant”, was an American boxer who, at the height of the Jim Crow era, became the first African-American world heavyweight boxing champion (1908–1915) You can see Curtis Wiley performing the song live at 54 Below in New York here He Never Lost The Fight

7TH AUGUST – I DO, 21ST AUGUST – DREAM WORLD, 4TH SEPTEMBER – HE NEVER LOST THE FIGHT
