North Louisiana singer/songwriter Robert Finley has announced his eagerly awaited new album, Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya, arriving via Easy Eye Sound on Friday, October 10. Physical pre-orders/digital pre-saves are available now.
Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, Finley’s fourth album for Easy Eye Sound sees Bernice, LA’s favorite son infusing the sacred sounds of gospel into his already unique take on the blues, soul, and R&B. Highlights include the deeply spiritual new single, “Helping Hand,” available now as a “Complete My Album” track.
The track is joined by an official music video, directed by filmmaker Tim Hardiman (John Anderson, Blake Shelton) and streaming now on YouTube.
“Making a gospel record was the first thing I ever wanted to do,” says Robert Finley. “I’ve had at least one gospel song on each album, and I even did a gospel song on America’s Got Talent. One of the guys said he didn’t know if it was the type of crowd for that, but some of those people were in tears.”
Finley and his band will celebrate the impending arrival of Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya with a top-billed festival appearance at New Haven, CT’s CT Folk Festival on September 10, followed by a headline tour of Europe/UK beginning October 4 at London’s Islington Assembly Hall and then making stops in France, the Netherlands, Spain, and Lithuania.
