Everybody's "Watching" Ryan Cabrera; Top Tunesmith Gets Set for Second Label Release as "Shine On" Is #1 Most-Added at Pop Radio Self-Produced "You Stand Watching" Out September 20, 2005

NEW YORK, NY -- (Market Wire) - 08/18/2005 - E.V.L.A./Atlantic recording artist Ryan Cabrera has announced details of the much-anticipated follow-up to last year's platinum-selling label debut, "TAKE IT ALL AWAY." Entitled "YOU STAND WATCHING," the new album is slated to arrive in stores nationwide on September 20, 2005.

"Shine On," the just-released first single from "YOU STAND WATCHING," has already exploded at CHR/Pop radio, instantly becoming the #1 most-added track nationwide. In addition, Cabrera recently premiered the track's companion video during a visit yesterday, August 17th, to MTV's "Total Request Live."

"YOU STAND WATCHING" finds the 23-year-old singer/songwriter further refining his winning pop-rock sound. Highlighted by such tracks as the soaring "Photo," the alt-rockin' "Hit Me With Your Light," the Latin-tinged "Our Story," and the moving ballad "It's You," the set is marked by captivating hooks, instantly engaging melodies, and Ryan's unaffected vocals. Self-produced, the album was recorded over a three-week period last June, with Cabrera taking a spontaneous and organic tack towards breathing life into his new songs.

"Whatever came out, came out," Ryan says. "I didn't want to spend ten years producing a record. I wanted the songs to be themselves, instead of worrying about all this crazy slickster production. I was interested in maintaining the dignity and the hearts of the songs, letting them breathe and become what they are."

Widely regarded as a charismatic live performer, Cabrera is currently road-testing material from "YOU STAND WATCHING" with a series of late-summer warm-up dates in advance of a major fall concert tour.
