While 25-year old Jérémy Amelin is a complete unknown here in the States right now, he’s hoping that will all change with the release of his new single, “Undone.” The electro-ballad was originally released May 16th on X-Cite Records, however a new version surfaced a few days later on May 23rd, featuring guest vocals by Canadian actress Jessica Lowndes (90210). Lowndes made her singing debut in the pilot episode of the U.S. remake of the 90s teen soap 90210 and is now reportedly finishing up her debut album in the UK. According to Amelin:
“‘Undone’ is my new single and I’m thrilled to have the talented Jessica Lowndes featured on this new record. I wanted a real performer, someone who would know how to deliver on such a powerful and emotional song.”
Jérémy Amelin appeared on Star Academy 5 (the French version of American Idol) back in 2005 where he was second runner up, losing out to Magalie Vaé. While Amelin has released five singles since 2006 (including his debut “A Contre Sens,” which debuted at #13 on the French singles chart), he sure took his sweet time, waiting nearly 3 years to release a follow up to his debut. This isn’t to say that Amelin was being lazy…in fact just the opposite. In between touring and making music, Amelin worked on launching a clothing line, Elektrode by Jérémy Amelin, the promotional campaign for which was photographed by famed French photographer Fred Goudon. Finally, in 2009 Amelin reemerged with new music, putting out his second and third singles, entitled “Fantasize” and “What’s More.”
Then, in late 2009 Amelin’s label, X-Cite Records, announced that the star was back in the studio and working on his highly anticipated debut album, called Blaster. The first taste of Blaster came in the form of a new single, “Oh Oh!” which was released in January of 2010. The album also reportedly features a song dedicated to pop princess, Britney Spears, entitled “Spears Me,” although no word on whether or not that will make the final cut. Amelin’s new single, “Undone,” is available to download worldwide on iTunes right now. Download it on the U.S. iTunes store HERE. Blaster will be released Stateside and internationally on October 24th via X-Cite Records.
