New York-based singer/songwriter Arsun (Arsun Sorrenti) has released his debut album, Babe I Hear Thunder In Your Heart. Arsun has previously played as part of Cat Power’s band for her re-creation of Bob Dylan’s 1966 Royal Albert Hall concert, and joined her on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

One of the album tracks, the Folk-Rock song “On the Dark Water’s Edge” was featured in a campaign by French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent.

Accompanying the release is a music video for “If You Must Leave,” directed by Tasmin Meyer Ersahin.

Arsun says:

I’ve always liked the idea of taking a timeless style of music and trying different things with it—making a unique sound that people haven’t heard before even as it’s still focused on working with traditional instruments and song structures.

Arsun will be opening for Cat Power in Paris at Folies Bergère on April 28 and 29 followed by another performance at The London Palladium in London on May 1.
