Colin Munroe kicks off December with the release of Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero, available for download today on www.unsunghero.tv and OnSMASH. The free mixtape offers a glimpse into the world of this young, up-and-coming talent whose highly anticipated debut album Don’t Think Less of Me drops in early 2009 via Universal Motown. Free from the confines of one particular genre, Colin fuses aspects of rock, pop, hip-hop and electronic music demonstrating his talent as both a musician and a producer.

Created in partnership with Sickamore & The Famous Firm, Colin Munroe is the Unsung Hero was crafted over a two-month period in Dallas Austin’s Atlanta-based recording studio. The project includes appearances by Wale, Mickey Factz, Joell Ortiz, Blaqstarr and Skyzoo and showcases Colin’s wide-ranging influences, from a revox of Bob Dylan’s “Who Killed Davey Moore to a remake of Q-Tip’s J. Dilla-produced track “Fever.” Munroe supplied the bulk of the production with additional contributions by Detroit’s Black Milk and Dallas Austin.

In support of the mixtape, Colin is playing select dates with Atlanta duo Proton and making a special New York City appearance opening for Wale alongside Kid Cudi and a DJ set by Mark Ronson. Catch him in the following cities:

Dec
02 Toronto, ON – The Boat (w/ Proton)
03 Los Angeles, CA – Viper Room (w/ Proton)
04 New York, NY – Studio @ Webster Hall (w/ Proton, Izza Kizza & DJ Blaqstarr)
06 Atlanta, GA – Lenny’s (w/ Proton & Spree Wilson)
09 New York, NY – Highline Ballroom (w/ Wale, Kid Cudi and Mark Ronson)
12 New London, CT – Hanafins Pub w. Flowers & Kain

Colin’s previous online offerings have received acclaim from critics and fans alike. The single “World of Pain” and its stop-motion video exploded across the net and was awarded the 2008 Yahoo Video Award for Best Indie Music Video. His remix of Kanye West's “Flashing Lights” and accompanying video became an online sensation with over a million views and recognition from West himself, who featured the video on his blog, included the track on his Glow in the Dark Tour Mixtape, and used Colin’s vocals on his international tour. The video for his quirky cover of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” also spread like wildfire online. Colin will continue to release captivating videos as he prepares for his debut release.
