Page One </i>EP <b><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S83xZjjgu4c" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.
<b><i>This One’s For </i></b>is due out in Fall 2012 via Eleventh Records <span style="color:#222222">
featuring a fierce mix of larger-than-life beats, catchy melodies, and soulful sensibility. The 11-track album reveals the breadth of talent behind the 23-year-old Pittsburgh native.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#222222">This One’s For</span></i></b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#222222"> features a powerful lineup of co-producers, including
<b>Da Internz</b> (Rhianna, Big Sean), <b>Sham & Motesart</b> (K’naan, Willow Smith),
<b>Kadis & Sean</b> (Luke James, Brandy), and <b>Mansur</b> (Monica, Ashanti). In crafting songs for
<b><i>This One’s For</i></b>, Coury also teamed up with heavy-hitting songwriters like
<b>Redd Stylez</b> (Usher, Alicia Keys), <b>Jackie Boyz</b> (Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Madonna, Sean Kingston),
<b>Lil Eddie</b> (Jessie J, P. Diddy), and <b>Marlin “Hookman” Bonds</b> (Swizz Beatz, Bow Wow). The album’s harmony-kissed, handclap-driven lead single
<b>“Drink My Love Away,”</b> sweeps up listeners with its taught guitar riffs, galloping beat, and aching lyrics. On
<b>“Ex-Girlfriend,”</b> Coury turns his heartbreak into a play-by-play fantasy backed by throbbing beats and smoldering synth. Another sexed-up stunner,
<b>“I’ll Be Right Over”</b> blends R&B-styled harmonies with a sweetly mellowed-out groove. And on the dynamic title track, a delicate piano intro bursts into a classically poppy kiss-off as Coury promises that “nothing’s gonna hold me down now.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
