Andrew Allen is a Canadian singer/songwriter signed to Epic Records. Amongst his inspirations Allen counts Jason Mraz, Maroon 5 and Jack Johnson – all three of whom you can hear in his single, “Loving You Tonight.” Originally released in June of last year, this version of the single is new for the upcoming album.
Allen first rose to prominence in his native Canada when “I Wanna Be Your Christmas” went Top Ten back in 2009. When “Loving You Tonight” was originally released the single went Top 10 on radio and Top 100 in iTunes, thanks in part to CHUM Radio’s Emerging Artist Initiative. Earning a handful of awards including “Best New Artist of 2008” (BCIMA’s), “2009 Singer/Songwriter Award” (We Are Listening), 2009 Finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, “Single of the Year” (BCIMA’s – 2009), “Pop Recording of the Year” (BCIMA’s – 2009) and “People’s Choice Award” (BCIMA’s – 2009)- clearly Andrew Allen is loved in Canada. Now, with the release of this new single and Mark Staubach-directed video, here’s hoping he gets some love here in the States. Download “Loving You Tonight” on iTunes HERE.
