Is classic R&B making a come back? Well, I certainly believe that someone has heard my cry. I’ve got a special treat for you guys this week. This multi-talented powerhouse, showstopper, performing artist is certainly campaigning hard to bring back good music. The Multi-Platinum recording artist and Broadway star “Deborah Cox” is a Canadian born Singer Songwriter, that brought us her smash hit “Nobody’s Supposed to be Here”, which held the record for the longest running single on Billboard’s Hot R&B/HipHop singles and tracks for 14 weeks eight years running. Deborah began her singing career at the tender age of 12 doing TV commercials. Later, she entered the music industry in the early 1990’s. Ms. Cox has recorded numerous albums, but it was her very first Album that I knew she’s an artist that is surely here to stay. My favorite track off that album was entitled Sentimental. Deborah has an awesome array of studio albums under her belt starting in 1995: with the self-titled “Deborah Cox”; 1998: “One Wish”; 2002: “The Morning After”; 2007: “Destination Moon”; 2008: “The Promise” . While she always managed to provide her loyal fans with great music, she also found ways to remind us that she does possess a great set of acting chops.
And now she’s back with a brand new single entitled “More than I knew”. This will be off her first new album in seven years. This strong emotional R&B/Pop Ballad is about a woman realizing the love she’s lost. This is a well-structured track and Deborah gives great attention to detail in the execution and precision of the music the track is classic Deborah and I love it. Deborah provides a richness to her style of singing. That something we haven’t heard in a long time. It’s with great appreciation and admiration to see this extremely talented songstress comeback to the Mic and bless us with her grace and presence of her artistry.
The name of the Album is entitled “Work Of Art”, which is the artist’s sixth Album to date. The release date for the album is slated for Aug.15th and Deborah isn’t stopping there. She’s also scheduled to play Josephine Baker in the Broadway-bound musical Josephine later in the year, I can’t wait to see that. Looks like there are a lot of great things on the horizon for Ms. Cox and 2015 is going to be her year!
