November 25 2016: Dick MacInnis releases "Do What You Wanna Do", the first single and opening track from his upcoming album "Black And Blue". This single will be available for download at DickMacInnisProductions.com, the video will be available on YouTube, and both will be available on iTunes, Google Play Music, Spotify, and all other major online music distributors within a few days of their official release. The song and accompanying video depict a relationship where the smallest confrontation results in one person desperately trying to escape while the other gives up trying to convince them to stay.

The video was written, directed, and starred Dick MacInnis himself, opposite Tonia Vansteelandt, and the song was produced by Dick MacInnis and Tyler Olson, and performed by Dick MacInnis with Harley Cook on the drumkit.

"Black And Blue", due out in January 2017, will be Dick MacInnis' first full length album since 2009's "Everything You've Heard About Love" and is the long awaited second installment in his "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll" trilogy. The album deals with the complex emotions that come from being in and leaving an abusive relationship. As the album's dedication reads:

"This album is dedicated to anyone who has ever been in an abusive relationship. Whether it was with a person, a substance or a situation, and whether you were the victim, the abuser, or simply a bystander. Sometimes we hurt others, sometimes they hurt us. Sometimes we just hurt. For the addicts and lovers, the sisters and brothers, the mothers and fathers, the sons and the daughters: Keep your chin up."

Dick MacInnis has been writing and performing professionally since 1999, touring extensively throughout western Canada both as a solo artist and as a member of several bands including the $ellout$ and Pleasurefly. He was raised in Morse, Saskatchewan, and has called Saskatoon his home since 2005.
