It went from an unexpected phone call to introducing the situation. “It’s one of those things that came out of the blue. “Somebody reached out to me and said Eric Benet was trying to get in contact with me,” Richardson reveals on how he signed to Benet’s record label. Richardson’s forthcoming album will be released via Eric Benet’s Jordan House Records in conjunction with BMG/Primary Wave. Meanwhile, he says his version of Bobby Blue Bland’s “I’ll Take Care of You” is the most soulful cover on the album. Richardson says a track called “Unreasonable,” which he co-wrote with Benet, is the most soulful track on the album.
Richardson’s fans will hear his rendition of Bobby Blue Bland’s “I’ll Take Care of You” and DeBarge’s “All This Love.” The album, slated for a fall release, will compose of original songs and a couple covers. Richardson says Posey produced about eighty percent of the album. There were other producers that submitted work, but I decided to stay where I was at.” “When you got somebody that’s diverse and can touch on different things, then you’re cool. “ is a really diverse producer,” says Richardson. He says he purposely chose to limit the number of producers on this album for consistency. The “Keep On Pushin’” crooner worked closely with Eric Benét, Demont Posey and Jonathan Richmond. A lot of times I do records like that, then go back and make changes necessary to take the song to the next level.”Īlthough Richardson’s new album is currently untitled it is indeed complete. “I wrote the song from an honest place and just saying the things I wanted to say. “Some certain things they can’t play and they are not going to allow you to say,” says Richardson. The Prince of Soul also reveals he had to make some changes to the song’s lyrical content, as the original version was way too explicit for radio.
“In the song, I describe patience, anticipation, desire and passion during intimacy and just my suggestions on how it’s going to roll out play by play.” “The song is basically about those nights that we get a chance to spend intimate time alone with the one person we really want to be with in that way to satisfy our innermost spiritual, physical and sexual needs,” explains Richardson. The lead song off the album is “We Gon’ Love Tonite,” a sensual track that could be played during a night of lovemaking. With five studio albums under his belt, Richardson sets his eyes on his sixth project. “I can write, record, produce a whole album all on my own with no one else in the room if I choose to,” Richardson reveals. The Grammy nominated singer, who co-wrote Charlie Wilson’s 2009 single “There Goes My Baby,” also picked up a few new skills over the years. No matter what song they put me on at that particular time, it still was me.” I was the one that tied that together and I don’t mean that in the way that it may come off, but I mean my sound I had. “The only thing that was consistent on the album was me.
“It had a lot of different producers, but no real direction,” says Richardson. Reflecting on his debut album, Richardson says he’s grown a lot as an artist since then. Although the project didn’t receive much recognition, it doesn’t take away from the lyrical and vocal quality the album possesses. The soul crooner released his debut album “Country Boy” in 1999 via Universal Records. The underrated singer has blessed soul/R&B enthusiasts with quality music for the past 15 years.īorn and raised in Monroe, N.C., Richardson’s musical upbringing unsurprisingly started in the church.
Dubbed as the “Prince of Soul,” Richardson’s vocals will have the hairs on someone’s arm standing.
