Kevin will be releasing a new single in January. The song "Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes," co-written with Kevin Gorman, has been recorded and will be released on Kevin's official MySpace page in the first week of 2009.

"I'm excited about the new song," Kevin said. "Though I've got mountains of material that I'd like to get to, I'm especially pleased about this song because it was a complete collaboration with Kevin Gorman."

"Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes" was written in late August of this past year. Kevin and Kevin Gorman performed it at the London Music Club in October and received a very positive reception.

"We already really liked the song," said Kevin. "But the reaction it got at the London Music Club told us that it was something people could immediately connect to. Musically, it's a rather simple song; mostly just Kevin's piano and the two of us singing. But that was all it needed."

Kevin hopes that "Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes" will be the first of several songs to come in 2009, with an eye toward a full-length release in the not-too-distant future.

"We're chipping away at it as best we can," said Kevin of a new complete release. "Kevin (Gorman) and I are both very, very busy with other projects. We'll play when we can in support of 'I Remember' (released in 2007) and we'll record new material when we can, but there's no real time table. We get there when we get there."

"Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes" is the first original song Kevin will have released since the three-song EP "I Remember," which was recorded and released in 2007 and is currently available through the CPT Entertainment web store.
