Alice Signs Up Ezrin For Nigh Shift
The producer of Schools Out & Billion Dollar Babies to produce Alice\'s next album
Bob Ezrin, who produced most of Alice Cooper’s greatest albums, has once again signed up to work with the shock rocker.
Blabbermouth reports Alice has signed a deal with the Bigger Picture Group a Nashville based company that will contribute to strategy, staging, special products, theatrical projects as well as the production, promotion and distribution of future Alice Cooper releases. Bob Ezrin is a partner in the company and will produce Alice’s new record, which is due early next year.
Ezrin said in a statement: "I am delighted to be back in business with Alice Cooper and Shep Gordon's Alive Enterprises and our whole company is over the moon about this collaboration. This is not a record deal but rather a partnership that involves virtually all aspects of Alice's ever-expanding universe. And it's a reunion with the first artist I ever produced and the first great manager I ever worked with. I couldn't be happier."
"It feels great to be working with Bob again and the entire Bigger Picture team have been tremendously supportive,” says Alice. "Lightning has struck more than once in the past with Bob's involvement so we feel great that we're onto something really electrifying now that we're together again. The album we're crafting is, in some ways, a 'shriekquel' to what's gone before and there's no better guy to oversee things than Bob.”
The new album has the working title of The Night Shift and, as Alice revealed recently in an interview, the concept of the album is "a really dark radio show where I'm the disc jockey, and every song I play will be by a different fictitious band. At some point, you'll realize this disc jockey is a little bit more than that. And I'm sure there will be some kind of a twist ending.”
Alice plays at the Sonisphere Festival on Friday 30 July.
