Shaun Escoffery: In The Red Room - Special Edition CD

UK vocalist Shaun Escoffery, whose classic hits “Space Rider” and “Days Like This” are enjoyed by club goers worldwide, returned to recording with this album, which com-bines sheer gospel-tinged power - as on the single “Nature’s Call” - with soulful subtlety on ballads such as “Nobody Knows”.

From his first recording with D-Influence at the tender age of 17, Shaun Escoffery has been one of the UK’s finest vocal talents - a singer with a glorious Isleys/Curtis Mayfield falsetto. Along the way he has enjoyed support from Elton John - who has hailed Shaun as one of his favourite new artists - and actor Idris Elba, one of his oldest friends, who has contributed a remix of “Nature’s Call”.

With an impressive career in musical theatre - from The Lion King (in which he has been appearing as Mufasa for many years) to Tommy and Les Miserables - Shaun has won many critical accolades, including an Olivier Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in the musical play Parade. This album saw his return to his own solo recording career with what many critics considered to be his finest album, recorded “In The Red Room” with producer Gil Cang, whose past credits include writing “Whatever Happens”, recorded by Michael Jackson on his “Invincible” album.

“Nature’s Call” and follow-up singles “People”, “Nobody Knows” and “Perfect Love Affair” have all hit the UK Airplay Top 50 and “In The Red Room” has also been a BBC Radio-Radio 2 Album of the Week.

In 2015 he was one of the featured artists at BBC Radio 2’s Live In Hyde Park event.
