drag Like a film noir shot in the sensual world of Paris-after-dark, artist/songwriter PHIL STEELE has conjured up a musical palette that brings the intense passion of Bertolucci's classic film to the pop scene.

His new album is the culmination of ten years of soul-searching through the playgrounds of Europe� a musical odyssey of an American expatriate living passionately, on-the-edge� hanging out in intimate Paris clubs like man ray, Casbah and the Bains Douches... jamming in rive gauche jazz cellars... partying from London raves to the balearic-beat island of Ibiza where his mega-hit City Lights first took off� his is a world without borders where the lingua franca is music.

Recorded in London, Paris and LA, this French-touch LP is a smooth euroblend of pop, lounge, chill-out, jazz, house and R&B�an exciting and unique fusion from a truly international artist who mixes musical genres as naturally as he bridges cultures and capitals.

His biggest hit, City Lights [Mercury], now a dance classic, took off in Ibiza in '87 and has since sold over 7 million.
