The first single to be released in the run-up to Alexander Broussard's new album can be heard everywhere from May 1.
In November 2022, Alexander made contact with the legendary Richie Cannata (the original saxophonist of Billy Joel's band) and the click between the two born musicians resulted in a thrilling concert with Alexander's The Billy Joel Experience in January 2023.
When Alexander told Richie that he was working on a new album of original material, the saxophonist said he would like to participate in that project.
It resulted in the beautiful “Must Be The Smile”: an atmospheric blue-eyed-soul track on which both the vocalist and the saxophonist are given every opportunity to excel.
About Alexander Broussard
Alexander already enjoyed some fame as a session musician and entertainer through his work with najib Amhali and with The Crazy Pianos. He broke through on his own merit thanks to the television program 'The Tribute: Battle Of The Bands', where he was a front man with his The Billy Joel Experience and, together with the other three finalists, shook a sold-out Ziggo Dome to its foundations.
In 2021, Alexander released his long-awaited second album 'Out Of The Blue', which was well received by both fans and media with its sturdy and melodic pop. Unfortunately, due to the Corona measures, only a very small-scale presentation could be held.
At the beginning of July '23, the third album 'Unfinished Business' will be released. Alexander opts for a less polished sound: the focus is on the heart of the band formed by Alexander on keys, Marcello Briganti (The Billy Joel Experience) on bass, Serge Naberman (PlusSupportAct, Rebelstar) on guitar and Dennis van Hoorn (PlusSupportAct, Golden Earring Undercover) on drums.
However, the songs are unmistakably Alexander's signature and are excellent to perform live due to the solid production.

Must Be The Smile
Must be her smile
And that’s all it takes
To make me drown in her devotion
There’s no denial
All gas no brakes
One look and I know where I belong
It must be the smile she smiles at me
It must be the why she sets me free
All that I thought I’d learned in time, has been redefined
She can take me or leave me anytime
But she knows that our lives became intertwined
For every moment, there’s a magic I cannot describe
Oh, it must be her smile
She’s got the look
She’s got the touch
It’s so much more than just emotion
I’m fairly hooked
It’s all too much
One day I’m weak, one day I’m strong
It must be the smile she smiles at me
It must be the why she sets me free
All that I thought I’d learned in time, has been redefined
She can take me or leave me anytime
But she knows that our lives became intertwined
For every moment, there’s a magic I cannot describe
Oh, it must be her smile
