I, Oh I, I'll be there tonight
And baby, you know I won't be late
Cause they call me mister right on time
And I'll never let you down
There was one time, oh yeah, I got held up by the rain
I came running through the hail
Water on the ground, and I'm the one to blame
Now yes I was
She said :
«Mister right on time, you're a little bit late
Next time I have to wait, I ain't gonna be so kind»
I, Oh I, I keep standing by
For the clock on the wall, sometimes can be lying
And they call me mister right on time
And I'll never let you down
She said :
«Mister right on time, you're a little bit late
Next time I have to wait, I ain't gonna be so kind»

Bordeaux "Soul Boy" Alexis Evans unleashes "Mister Right on Time", the first single from the upcoming new album "Yours Truly".
"Mister Right on Time" is the first single from "Yours Truly", the much awaited upcoming new album by Bordeaux-based singer-songwriter Alexis Evans and it will be available on all digital platforms on November 11th, 2022. The new album is set for release on February 3rd, 2023 on LP, CD and digital via Milan-based label Record Kicks. Produced and mixed by Louis-Marin Renaud (Lou Doillon, Theo Lawrence, Desmond Myers), "Yours Truly" is the artist's third studio album and it sees the light 4 years after his previous LP "I've Come A Long Way", defined "Soul album of The Year" by Rolling Stone France. "Yours Truly" consists of 12 brilliantly soulful cuts that take direct inspiration from 60's & 70's classic soul music adding a sound that is firmly rooted in the new millennium.
"Yours Truly" was recorded between Bordeaux and Nantes during 2021 and beginning of 2022. The idea behind the new album was to find a unique sound, mixing classic 60's & 70's soul music with more contemporary influences such as hip hop beats, jazz, reggae, and Caribbean sounds. To do that, Alexis paired up with producer Louis-Marin Renaud, known for his work with French-English singer, actress and model Lou Doillon and country-soul rising star Theo Lawrence, who took part in the arrangements and mixed the album.
Alexis Evans, songwriter with a timeless style based in Bordeaux, France, found the love of music and learnt to play guitar thanks to his father, an English musician. His inspirations range from Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke to David Bowie. At the age of 17 he debuted with his first project "Jumping to the Westside", with which he was awarded the "Cognac Blues Passion" prize and flew to the "International Blues Challenge" in Memphis, Tennessee, where he impressed the American audience even though he was still a teenager. Mr. Evans has built a household name in the scene as the "enfant prodige of soul" starting with his first album, released in 2015, and consolidated his reputation with his second long play "I've Come a Long Way", released in 2019 on Record Kicks. Rolling Stone France described it as "The Soul album of the year", while Blues & Soul Magazine and BBC 6 defined him as "One of the most exciting additions to the international Soul Scene". Following the release of the album, Alexis toured in France and Europe extensively, stopped only in 2020 by the Pandemic. Thanks to the forced break, Alexis started to lay down the new album, and he's now ready to present the fruit of his hard work: "Yours Truly".
Produced by BADBADNOTGOOD, the Atlanta vocalist and songwriter's new album is a tenacious mix of R&B, jazz, psych, and Americana. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2024
