{allmovies} New album, new film for Landon Pigg

 

 

Landon Pigg is calling his second full-length album, due Aug. 25, The Boy Who Never. But don't let the title fool you: The singer/songwriter, who is best known for the wistful single Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop, has been plenty busy, and not just in the recording studio.

This fall, Pigg, 25, makes his feature-film debut in Whip It, also Drew Barrymore's first outing as a director, opening wide Oct. 9. He plays "a musician in the big city" who becomes romantically involved with the heroine, portrayed by Juno's Ellen Page. "He represents one of many new challenges for her." Others in the cast include Marcia Gay Harden, Juliette Lewis and Jimmy Fallon.

Pigg also plans to promote Boy with a tour. He describes the album, which includes a new mix of Coffee Shop, as more rhythmically charged than his previous material. "I'd say it's where George Gershwin meets Motown. Even on the slow songs, you'll hear more of a soul influence."
