(OLD BRIDGE, NJ) -- Diego Allessandro, the former front man of Lot 25, will release his third solo single, "I'll Fall With You" on July 26, 2019 via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other major digital retailers and streaming services. This new single is to be the first in a series of eight all new singles to be released over the next two years called 'DiegoFM.' A lyric video for the song will debut on YouTube on July 26 at 10:00am.
"For the past 5 years or so I've been stock piling an arsenal of pop tunes," said Allessandro. "As I finished production on The Losin' Kind and started writing the bulk of songs that would become Eden Boulevard and This American Life a lot of great pop music got left behind. With 80s music going through a bit of a renaissance, I focused on synthesizers, loops and 80s/90s production since so much of the writing was influenced by my favorite pop songs from my childhood. Music lovers will get a chance to hear brand new songs that bring them right back to that great period of 1982-1996."
There are no plans as of yet to release any physical copies or a full-length release of the new material, but Allessandro says, "If there is a demand for, especially a vinyl release, I'd definitely be down to do it and I got plenty of songs to fill out a fun 40 minute LP." Further release announcements will come via Allessandro's Instagram account @DiegoMusicNJ. Music fans can set a reminder for the video below.
Originally these new songs were to be recorded with Lot 25 and released in 2020 as the bands follow up to Eden Boulevard and would have been given the title Mixtape on LP, CD and Cassette while the digital release with more modern alternate takes would have been titled Playlist. When the group disbanded in 2017, Allessandro began recording the songs on his own inviting only a couple of friends to contribute to the recordings. The tenor saxophone on "I'll Fall With You" was performed by New Jersey rock veteran Gary Trippiedi, who last recorded with Allessandro on his 2013 full length solo release Magical.
Born in 1984, Allessandro's trademark sound blending Americana with 80s and 90s pop and 2000s punk has earned him two nominations in the Asbury Music Awards Top Americana Band category with his former band Lot 25. Whether you're on the floor showcasing your best moves or at the bar just listening, Diego Allessandro pairs his best songs with fun, electrifying covers that create an explosive, lively, and dynamic atmosphere for all. It's no secret why LeicesterBangs.BlogSpot.com raves "…[Allessandro] stamps his own identity on his chosen genre with a series of strong songs, which ooze blue collar imagery, and come fully loaded with hooks aplenty."
Diego Allessandro is a powerful voice in Americana music articulating both the American Millennial and immigrant experiences. Since 2012, Allessandro has self-released four well received full length solo efforts, the most recent in 2018 titled This American Life and two singles. Released with Lot 25, he penned the bands acclaimed rock opera Eden Boulevard and it's two singles, all in 2016.
