If you were following the premiere edition of ‘The X Factor’ over in the US, you’d no doubt have been blown away by a certain Chris Rene and his audition piece called ‘Young Homie’.
Judge L.A. Reid took him under his wing and although he eventually finished third in the competition, he was later signed to Epic Records to record his debut major label album.
A slightly reworked, more polished version of ‘Young Homie’ serves as the singer’s debut single for Epic – a track that our friends across the ditch in New Zealand have already fallen in love with (it recently debuted at No.1 there).
Now, however, it’s Australia’s turn, with Sony Music servicing the track to radio this week and while details about his forthcoming debut album are still very sketchy (beyond that it’s due later this year), the single is expected at digital retail within the week.
Australia's first stop for pop!
