Grammy-nominated and two-time Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Lil Eddie is back with an exciting new release titled ‘Statue (Duets)’, a heartfelt, global tribute to his 2009 breakthrough hit single, ‘Statue’ which has now garnered over 85 million streams globally. The new album features reimagined versions of the iconic track in multiple languages, including Spanglish, Tagalish, and an acoustic duet, showcasing Lil Eddie’s signature R&B and Soul style while celebrating his diverse international fanbase.
Born and raised in Spanish Harlem, New York, Lil Eddie has made his mark in the music industry not only as a performer but as one of the most sought-after songwriters and producers. With an impressive 12 Grammy nominations and two wins, his career spans collaborations with major artists like Maluma, JoJo, Jessie J, Kylie Minogue, and Robbie Williams among many others. His songwriting prowess caught the attention of music mogul Simon Cowell, who brought him on board as a vocal coach for X-Factor USA and La Banda. His work in the shows contributed to the formation of successful groups like Fifth Harmony and CNCO. Eddie recently served as a guest judge on X-Factor: Malta and X-Factor: The Band in the UK. The success of his solo career is equally remarkable, with three number-one albums on the Japanese charts
Collaborating with renowned artists such as Jay R, Frankie J, and Aston Merrygold, ‘Statue (Duets)’ is a reflection of Lil Eddie’s musical versatility and his deep connections with artists across cultures. Each track highlights a unique blend of language and style and alongside the new vocal versions, the album offers instrumental and acapella tracks, inviting fans to get creative with remixes and sing-alongs. There is even an energetic sped-up and resplendent slowed-down version, closing the album with an appropriately moving and cinematic finish.
Lil Eddie shared: “I felt the importance of making a Statue duet album due to all the success I still have been receiving around the world and particularly Asia. I had to do a Tagalish version since the Philippines have championed my song so long, and why not with my brother Jay R. I thought of making more versions since I sing in Spanish and lived in UK before. So I invited my brothers who have equally great passion for music Frankie J and Aston Merrygold. I am so honored to share this son with legends like Jay R, Frankie J, and Aston Merrygold.”
