PRESS RELEASE Arne Benoni Releases New Album For Immediate Release – January 25, 2008 [Nashville] – Norwegian recording artist Arne Benoni recently completed recording a new 12-song album in Nashville and has returned to Norway to release the CD that is aptly titled, “I’m Coming Home.” According to Benoni, this album will not only offer country music fans a great collection of songs, but will give them a fresh, new sound and approach to his music. “It all starts with the song and I am proud to have written or co-written six of the songs,” Benoni states. “What may surprise a lot of people is we have songs on this album written by Ozzy Osbourne and “Aha's” Magne Furuholmen; and if that’s not enough to get your attention I have three duets with country superstar and friend Lynn Anderson. Although it may seem like a strange brew, I hopes fan will be as excited about the album as I am and will find the recipe we put together for this project to be “tasty.” “The music was recorded with a more contemporary country sound than people have heard from me in the past,” Benoni continues. “And the recordings were done at two of Nashville's best recording studios with some of the top session musicians in Music City. Of course one of the most special parts of the CD are Benoni’s duets with Lynn Anderson who is best known for her international hit, “Rose Garden.” Benoni, along with millions of others, has been a big fan of Anderson’s and when producer Jim Pierce arranged for a meeting between the two there was instant chemistry that evolved into a friendship and, as some may call it – “magic in the studio.” Anderson and Benoni recorded versions of the big hit “Slow Hand” originally recorded by The Pointer Sisters and later by Conway Twitty; “Hello” originally recorded by Lionel Richie; and a previously unreleased song titled, “Even If It Takes Forever.” The album release in Norway will bring Lynn Anderson to that country for the first time in her career and will include several media appearances including an appearance on TV2 when she and Benoni will present the prestigious "Hit of the Year" award to be broadcast live from the Oslo Spectrum. Benoni, who is the only Norwegian country artist to have chart records in Billboard Magazine with the singles "Southern Lady" and "If I Live To Be A Hundred," will tour Scandinavia and USA later this year. _________________________ All Star Publicity 9 Music Square South * PMB 177 * Nashville, TN 37203 * Office: 615-264-3637 Email: dickmcvey@comcast.net______________________________________
