Welcome to the Blacklist Club
Welcome to the Blacklist Club is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter, Evan Taubenfeld. It was released on May 18, 2010 by Sire Records, being Taubenfeld's only release with the label. Background. Taubenfeld was originally scheduled to release his debut studio album, "Just Sign Here..." in early 2006, although inner turmoil and creative differences between Warner Brothers Records and Taubenfeld would result in this effort being scrapped. However, Taubenfeld would continue to record music, now enlisting the assistance of John Fields, which would ultimately be released in 2010 as "Welcome to the  Blacklist Club". When speaking on the record, Taubenfeld described it as "being [about] a hopeless romantic trapped under a cinnamon-coated shell that is L.A., I think your outside hardens when you live out here. Most people don’t express how much they want to fall in love. For me, half the album is about being able to expose that. The other half...is more about having fun".<ref name="http://evantaubenfeld.com/bio"></ref> Promotional touring. Snakes and Suits Acoustic Tour.
