Santa Cruz rocker James Durbin is making plans for his second album to be released in April 2014, and, as a promotional preview for the new recording, Durbin is releasing a new single on Friday.
The song “Parachute” will be available on iTunes on Friday. A video for the song will debut in December on YouTube. The song is the first new material on the market for Durbin since his 2011 album “Memories of a Beautiful Disaster,” which was released just a few months after he finished as a runner-up on “American Idol” and launched a Durbin-mania craze throughout Santa Cruz.
“Memories” spawned two hit singles, “Love Me Bad” and “Stand Up,” the latter a rock anthem that was played in NFL stadiums throughout the football season in 2011 and 2012.
Durbin will release the still-untitled new album on April 8, 2014. For more information, go to www.durbinrock.com.
