Los Angeles, CA – November 27, 2013 – Composer Allen D is playing the “standards” from the American Songbook in a different way. He’s turning romantic ballads into up-tempo electronic dance music (house music). “I usually have to change the meter for the much faster tempo,” Allen explained, “but you can still hear the musical genius of the great American song writers. Allen’s first release is a house rendition of the Cole Porter classic “In The Still of The Night,” as featured in the movie “De-Lovely” starring Kevin Kline as Cole Porter and Ashley Judd as his socialite wife Linda. Unlike an earlier biopic on Cole Porter starring Cary Grant, Porter’s bisexuality is chronicled in “De-Lovely.” As of this writing, Allen’s first single is #3 on the AC Top 40 Indie Chart, #5 on the AC Top 40 Main Chart, #11 on the Top 40 Indie Chart, #14 on the Hot 100 Chart, #15 on the FMQB Top 200 Chart, #23 on the Top 40 Main Chart, and #86 on the AC Mediabase Chart. |
