One of the most eagerly anticipated releases of Summer 2003, IN THE PURSUIT OF LEISURE finds multi-platinum pop combo Sugar Ray joined in the studio by longtime producer/collaborator David Kahne – the man behind the board for the band’s top-charting smashes, “Fly,” “Every Morning,” and “When It’s Over.” As with their past collections, the album sees the band blending a wide variety of sounds – including summery island rhythms, funky hip hop grooves, and infectious 80s-inspired melodies – into their own uniquely characteristic pop/rock cocktail. IN THE PURSUIT OF LEISURE features such soon-to-be Sugar Ray favorites as the rollicking “Chasin’ You Around,” the breezily irresistible “Heaven,” and the giddy first single “Mr. Bartender (It’s So Easy).” Also among the album’s many highlights is the band’s delightful cover of Joe Jackson’s 1979 classic, “Is She Really Going Out With Him?”

One of America’s most popular and successful bands for almost a decade, Sugar Ray have achieved total U.S. sales approaching 7 million records. The Southern California-based combo have had a remarkable streak of Top 10 hit singles, including the unforgettable #1 smashes, “Fly” and “Every Morning.”
