If you’re like me, you’re eager to hear the new album from the “maestro” himself– Richard Smallwood. Well, the wait is almost over, with his new album, Promises, finally to be released on July 19th.
The project, Smallwood’s 15th album, was recorded in a small live setting in the DC area last fall. Perhaps most significantly, Promises is the first album since the passing of Richard Smallwood’s mother in 2005. He cites that he hadn’t even written a song since then, thinking that “the gift had dried up.”
The album’s lead single, “Trust Me,” is already available on iTunes. Featuring the award-winning ensemble, Vision, the single carries the signature Smallwood sound. Other highlights include the Walter Hawkins classic-turned-tribute “Is There Any Way,” “Praying for Peace” featuring Lalah Hathaway, and the Donald Lawrence-penned “Facts Are, Truth Is.”Can’t wait!!!
