ETCETERA Returns With The Release Of His New Single "Black Dress" Featuring Chester Gregory

Online, December 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - NEW YORK, NY - Today's music landscape continues to be competitive with independent artists and signed artists both topping the charts and earning Grammy nods. Back up is the multitalented songwriter/recording artist, ETCETERA, who is releasing his brand new single "Black Dress" featuring the multi-award winning Broadway star Chester Gregory from the musical stage play "Dreamgirls."

"Black Dress" is the first single being released from the Brooklyn based artist's forthcoming album, due early 2011. The single also shares the name of his new women's fragrance. Both the single and fragrance were inspired by the artist's brief encounter with the implausible Kim Kardashian on the red carpet at the 2009 Grammy Awards, where he was featured as "The New Face to See" on the red carpet according to AP, MSN, FOX and ABC News.

The single "Black Dress" is an irrefutably dynamic song produced by newcomer JV of Around One Music and is filled with the ingredients of a classic record. It brings the drums of a rhythmic chant and the bass that makes it undeniably hard to keep still. The sounds are blended just right to offer that universal appeal. In comes the Brooklyn Edgar Allen Poe, ETCETERA, with his pen exhibiting word play and metaphors that blankets the track. Finally, the song is tucked in by Chester Gregory, the Broadway entertainer, with his sultry range. ETCETERA is able to paint a vivid Claude Monet in words of his unforgettable encounter with Ms. Kim Kardashian.

Recently, ETCETERA successfully released his first ever unconventional mix CD this summer called "Characters Welcome" hosted by 105.1's personality Chuck Dogg. The mixtape has already been downloaded over 65,000 times and was featured on sites like MixtapeFactory.com, DatPiff.com, Coast2CoastMixtapes.com and more. To add to his increasing list of accomplishments, ETCETERA recently signed a booking agreement deal with Los Angeles based Premiere Booking Agency, adding him to the new roster of artists like Lil Kim, DeBarge, Lil Zhane, Raz B of B2K, Miki Howard, and these are just to name a few.
