In 2023 Bill met musician and businessman Frederic Schwarcz who arranged two shows in Paris at the New Morning Club. Here he met and worked with with Jean Luc Leonardon, producer, arranger, keyboardist, singer and also leader of the band Dr Wu. With an assembly of celebrated Parisian musicians, full rhythm and horn sections and an array of talented soloists and singers, the night was magical. And in the months to come an album was created in Paris that rivals the best of LaBounty’s work.
During his visit to Paris in January 2025 to record his album , Bill laBounty had the pleasure of meeting Natasha St-Pier , with whom he performed a duet of his iconing track "Livin it up".
Executively produced by Frederic Schwarcz, co-produced by Jean Luc Leonardon, horns arranged and orchestrated by Erick Poirier, engineered and mastered by Yves Jaget, Bill’s new album “Love At the End of the World” makes it’s debut in the spring.
