Emerson Hart, lead singer for the multi-platinum selling group Tonic, will release his sophomore solo album Beauty In Disrepair April 15th through BMG. Produced by David Hodges (Kelly Clarkson, Christina Perri, Carrie Underwood), Beauty In Disrepair is an intimate collection of songs about loss, rebirth, newfound love and family, ”born out of stuff I don’t want anyone else to say.” It is the follow-up to 2007’s critically acclaimed solo debut Cigarettes & Gasoline. The album produced two Top 20 singles “If You’re Gonna Leave” and “I Wish The Best For You” and touches on the subject of Emerson’s father’s disappearance/murder which he also discussed with People Magazine in an interview. Emerson continues to explore the subject on the forthcoming sophomore release Beauty In Disrepair. He explains of the title, “Early in my life I learned to appreciate the beauty in things as they grew older. Houses, furniture, churches, whatever. I think it started after my dad was killed: I lived with my grandfather on his farm, this 19th century mansion. Everything in it was constantly broken, but there was such a beauty to it as well.” In February, Emerson will preview the new material in select markets before embarking on a two-week tour with Tonic in March.
