X.O.C announces the release of his alt-R&B debut EP ‘TheBreakUp’, available as a FREE download this October

X.O.C, the Cleveland, Ohio based composer, producer and musician, has today announced the release of his alt-R&B debut EP ‘TheBreakUp’, available as a FREE download from October 8 via his website, XOCtheOX.com.

X.O.C (pronounced ZAH-ck), was inspired to write the 4-track EP after going through a tumultuous relationship, and recorded it in isolation in his home studio.  “Writing the music for this EP has been incredibly therapeutic for me, and although I don’t want to pigeonhole my music as just relationship oriented, I felt that this story needed to be told,” X.O.C states.

X.O.C is a pure alternative R&B vocalist and sings raw lyrics that are centered on heartbreak combined with moody, rhythmic, and experimental fusions, making the EP meaningful and sincere, yet dark at times as the EP title suggests.     

With a sound all of his own, X.O.C cites Prince, Michael Jackson, and Timbaland as his biggest musical influences. “They just know how to make you feel, and of course, make you move,” X.O.C declares.

You can listen and download the first single ‘Get Along’ right now on X.O.C’s official website and Soundcloudpage. ‘TheBreakUp’ EP will be available to download for FREE on October 8, 2014.
