Detail:

Ryan Cabrera's new album 'You Stand Watching,' the much-anticipated follow-up to last year's platinum selling debut 'Take It All Away,' is in stores now.

YOU STAND WATCHING finds the 23-year-old singer/songwriter further refining his winning pop-rock sound. Highlighted by such tracks as the soaring 'Photo,' the alt-rockin' 'Hit Me With Your Light,' the Latin-tinged 'Our Story,' and the moving ballad 'It's You,' the set is marked by captivating hooks, instantly engaging melodies, and Ryan's unaffected vocals. Self-produced, the album was recorded over a three-week period last June, with Cabrera taking a spontaneous and organic tack towards breathing life into his new songs.

'Whatever came out, came out,' Ryan says. 'I didn't want to spend ten years producing a record. I wanted the songs to be themselves, instead of worrying about all this crazy slickster production. I was interested in maintaining the dignity and the hearts of the songs, letting them breathe and become what they are.'

Widely regarded as a charismatic live performer, Cabrera is currently road-testing material from YOU STAND WATCHING with a series of late-summer warm-up dates in advance of a major fall concert tour. For the latest concert news, please visit www.ryancabrera.com.

With the summer '04 release of his debut album, TAKE IT ALL AWAY, Ryan quickly earned a reputation as one of the most compelling new voices on the modern pop scene. A gifted songwriter, singer, and musician, he has won over a legion of devoted fans from coast to coast with irresistible hits like 'On The Way Down' and 'True.'
