James Dupre Releases New Album 'Stoned To Death'

Summer 2016 continues to heat up for country newcomer James Dupré! Starting today, fans can purchase the highly anticipated new album on iTunes or order a physical copy at jamesdupre.com. 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, Clint Daniels and more.

The independently released new project is getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

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. Sign me up for the fan club. Now."

Taste of Country declares, "If you think true country music is dead, you haven't heard James Dupré, " while Rolling Stone Country calls him one of 2016's "new country artists you need to know."

In addition to the glowing praise for the album, Sirius XM is now spinning the title track on The Highway and Nash Country Daily is shining the spotlight on Dupre' via their "Who's New" feature, including a stirring exclusive acoustic performance of album cut, "Hurt Good."

The rising country star will be performing "Stoned To Death" and more from the new project via Facebook Live on Monday, 6/20 at part of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's "Live Unlimited" campaign. Check facebook.com/JamesDupreMusic to catch the show!

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.
