Jive/ Zomba/ First Priority Music recording artist Eamon readies himself to release his 2nd album Love & Pain due in stores August 1st. He has been known for his combination of raw Hip-Hop and smooth Doo-Wop and is what he calls "Ho-Wop." Eamon's hit debut 2003 single "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)" served as an anthem for anyone who has ever been done wrong by a lover. It was the #1 song in 22 countries and in the U.S. it was the best selling single on the Hot Single Sales Charts for 9 weeks and #1 on the Hot R&B Single Sales Charts!! Radio-wise in the U.S. it peaked at #5 on the Top 40 Rhythm chart, #9 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart and #16 on the Hot 100 Airplay charts!! Internationally he reached both Gold and Platinum success in major territories including the UK, Australia, Germany and Italy. With this international success, he won the Festival Bar Award for Most Successful International Artist of the Year in 2004!! Eamon's single also for the past 3 years has held the record in the "Guinness Book of World Records" for the most downloaded ring tone ever!

His new single "(How Could You) Bring Him Home," is the first from his upcoming album Love & Pain due to impact radio June 26th. The track, produced by Happy Perez (Frankie J), Jeff Smith and Milk Dee (from First Priority Music) reveals a softer side of the singer unbeknownst to listeners on "F**k It." Eamon gives a heart-felt testimony on "How Could You," which deals with the pain of betrayal. He says the song was a perfect fit for him. Eamon says, "I think it's a perfect follow up [to "F**k It"] and the people [Jud Mahoney, Nina Woodford, Zach Charlton, and James Earp] who wrote it for me hit it right on the head. I couldn't have [written] it any better." The video is directed by Lenny Bass and should hit the video channels in June.

A 22 year-old singer/songwriter from Staten Island NY, Eamon has been recording since the age of 9, performing with his father's Doo-Wop group (Eamon and the Elations). He recorded Love & Pain with the help from producers Milk Dee -- who produced a large part of the debut album, including the hit "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)", along with Jeff Smith, Needlz of 50 Cent's fame and executive producer Nat Robinson. Eamon takes a lighter approach to the subject of relationships this time around. Eamon says, "My delivery [on this album] is more mature, more the view of a young adult going through love and pain. He adds, yet life is good, "My goal is for as many people to hear my music as possible. I want people to enjoy my music and know that I'm here to stay. I want everybody to be able to relate when they hear this record."
