James Durbin Announces New Album 'Riot On Sunset'

(hennemusic) American Idol season 10 contestant James Durbin will release his third album, "Riot On Sunset", on July 15. The rocker is previewing the follow-up to 2014's "Celebrate" with the project's lead single, "Smackdown."

"We recorded 'Smackdown' as a band," says Durbin, "all live instruments and zero autotune, which we highly encourage. 'Smackdown' is loud, raw and in your face.

"We've been grinding away on this album for months now. "It's hard to believe it's time to release it to the world on July 15. I feel like I've grown a lot in the studio and as an artist. I hope all the fans will enjoy what I have to say on the album as I have truly loved co-writing and co-producing Riot On Sunset." Check out the song stream and read more here.
