CoatesTwice Releases ‘Supernova’ Debut Album

Toronto, Canada, October 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The long-awaited debut album by Chris Coates and Think Twice has been released on indie label Sunglasses Music.

The 10-track album is the result of a 2-year collaboration between Think Twice and Chris Coates (aka Puffy Coates, Chris Quotes) that began when they were fixtures of the hip-hop scene in Montreal with such groups as Specifics, Typecast, and The Bank of Mount Real.

Producer Phil Kennedy (Think Twice), now based in Vancouver, has racked up sales of 50,000 units worldwide during the past five years. This is the first full-length CoatesTwice collaboration. Chris Coates’s songs have been featured on three previous releases produced by Think Twice.

“Supernova” advances their earlier hip-hop style through the post-bling club pulse of “Where’s the Cash At?” “Just The Tip,” “WeeOooh,” and “Tips of My Toes,” through the jazzy stylings of the title track, “Heat,” “Money in the Rhyme Book,” “The Only Hot Thing,” and “Fresh,” featuring Specifics. The album ends with four minutes of startling social commentary on “The Accomplice.”

Chris Coates has assembled a band to tour the album featuring DJ Dave Sauce and Eloquent of Stolen Owners. Think Twice and Coates are also currently working on their follow-up project, with an anticipated release in 2010.
