Russell Crowe Exclusive Download Now Available
PRESS RELEASE, APRIL 19, Australia


"Raewyn," the first single release from Russell Crowe's solo album "My Hand, My Heart."

"Raewyn" is available exclusively as a download on April 19th from the iTunes Music Store for the United States, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and sanity.com.au for Australia and New Zealand. Other territories to come online soon.

The song "Raewyn" is one of ten tracks on the album "My Hand, My Heart," five of which are co-written by Canadian producer Alan Doyle (Great Big Sea).

A chance meeting backstage at a hockey awards night in Toronto ended up in song writing sessions in Canada and Australia.

This evolved into an intense four-week writing and recording project, a call to a bunch of mates created the band, and after many long nights, "My Hand, My Heart" was recorded at the padded cell in Nana Glen.

Raewyn was the first song that this pair wrote together.

Recorded in room 1523 of the Toronto Park Hyatt Hotel.

Strings and Tympani recorded at Trackdown Studios in Sydney using members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) - conducted and arranged by Daniel Denholm.

Mixed at 301 Studios in Sydney by Nathaniel Kunkel (Sting, James Taylor)

"This new song, "Raewyn," has a different level of poise and grace than much of the records by Crowe's band, Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts, and its lyrics are both elegant and more direct. It draws on two traumatic early deaths in the Crowe family tree - his mother's sister Raewyn and his father's brother Charlie - and on his own new family, on how these are linked by name and heritage, and of what it is to be a parent and a child…"
-Chris Heath - GQ Magazine

"Raewyn" arrived in yesterday's post and it brought my morning to a halt, leaving me gazing out at the winter sun on the ocean. It's a beautiful, intimate song… made me think of my old man and how we got on, but then of my role as a father and how I relate to Jack." -Billy Bragg

"You're a very enigmatic man Mr Crowe. This is not what I was expecting."

"Your song is a royal gift to young Charlie, beautiful photographic images, a surprisingly tender voice, and I'm touched you would send it to me, but will it get on the radio? Not a chance mate."
-Sting
