NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!
Inside Hotel de Ville, the rooms tell stories and the walls have ears. Cinematic and darkly seductive, Hotel de Ville is the musical vehicle of composer and vocalist Rhett Brewer. Taking inspiration from 60s French pop, operatic intrigue and film noir, Brewer has singularly constructed a shimmering emotional drama and 21st century vision. Bittersweet melodies blend with orchestral urgency and trance inducing beats. Brewers intoxicating music always veers between overwhelming elation and desperate heartbreak. Imbued with a state of childlike wonder, Hotel de Ville is an exhilarating yet defiantly undefinable experience that quickens the pulse and inflames the senses.

NEW TRACK INCLUDED IN THE TRAILER FOR THE FILM PEACEWALKER
The previously unreleased track “The View from Afar” has been used for the most recent Peacewalker preview trailer “A Single Step” and marks the beginning of Rhett's creative relationship with the project. The film tells the story of Ray, a young man whose brother is killed in Iraq as a US soldier. The two had dreamed of travelling to Scotland together. When Ray is introduced to writings about the Peace Pilgrim, a woman who famously walked for Peace, Ray embarks on the journey across Scotland alone. Walking 1000 miles for peace, understanding and self awakening, Ray takes a sinlge step towards a much larger goal. Rhett was drawn to director Tara Golden's vision of a narrative that mixes fact and fiction, through a story that humbly and passionately bypasses war for peace. The track used for the clip is the first glimpse at the next Hotel de Ville album, which is currently in development!
