I first heard of
Ryan Ferrada back in September, when I talked about his upcoming release
Room 501. The
Bimbo Jones remix of his first single, the club-friendly "
Dirty In The Club" hit the top 10 in the
Music Week UK Club Chart last month and even hit #2 on the Pop Chart. Impressive! Well, the album has
FINALLY been released to the UK iTunes store. I wish I could get it here in the states.
The half American, half Spanish Ferrada grew up in Europe, releasing his debut album,
Can't Let Go in Portugal and Span when he was only 18. After touring Europe in support of artists like
Ronan Keating and the
Sugababes, Ryan is ready for some spotlight of his own.
Room 501 sees Ferrada paired up with songwriter/producer
Greg Fitzgerald (
Kylie Minogue,
Madonna,
Jessica Simpson) and features the perfect blend of "edgy pop, electro funk, dance and hints of R&B."
Among the albums tracks is a cover of Kylie Minogue's "
Burning Up," as well as next single, the title track, "Room 501." I for one can't wait to hear the new material. With the electro-pop world currently dominated by strong female superstars like
Lady Gaga and
Ke$ha, the hot, sexy Ferrada is destined to make a splash.
