Alan Hewitt (Platinum Producer to the Stars) Propels Fan Demand by Going Retroactive

Alan Hewitt, platinum producer to the stars, who recently inked a deal with nuGroove/Sony Red will debut his “Shaft” single from the new Retroactive album early January 2010.

Even though the album has only been available for digital purchase for a handful of weeks, downloads for select single tracks are in strong demand. Additionally, although not officially released to radio until January, the “Shaft” single has already received the attention of radio in various outlets. The album will be available at all retail locations, where fine music is sold.

Hewitt, who has worked as a writer and/or producer for Earth, Wind & Fire, Warrant, Donny Osmond, movies, television and more, will release his first single to radio “Shaft”. This arrangement of the Isaac Hayes classic marks a return to Hewitt’s musical roots.

“I wanted to create something that my fans could immediately connect with and feel good about. The band and I have been playing this one live and the reaction is always fantastic! I wanted to bring back the energy to “Retroactive” that I used to feel and hear when I would listen to The Jazz Crusaders, Return To Forever, Weather Report and Ramsey Lewis.”, said Hewitt.

Retroactive features appearances by Greg Adams (Tower of Power), Paul Jackson, Jr., Steve Madaio (Stevie Wonder) and Steve Oliver.
