![]() ![]() You want to leave a little something to the imagination and I feel that’s what I’ve done with the record. When you talk about sex in a record, there are so many ways you can talk about it without going into it. I feel we have lost the love in the music. That’s going to be success for me: when I can reach people again and I get that soul back into the people. It’s feel good music that’s so R&B that I feel has been missing for sometime. So, I’ve been able to touch a lot of different age groups through my music and it’s not geared towards any age group. How do you define success with this album?ĭJ: I just did a show Harlem Week and the demographic of fans I had out there – I had 18 all the way to 50 years of age. MN: We know the industry has changed drastically since you first stepped on the scene. I have a couple of up-tempo tracks on there but it’s mostly ballads and mid-tempos. MN: Are we getting a lot of slow and mid-tempo songs? What’s the feel of the album?ĭJ: The feel of the album is definitely all about love. When you make records, lyrics are the things people really can sit back and listen to and it can change people lives so that’s why I’m calling the album “Lyrics” because I’m talking about some real strong situations like love (either good or bad). I feel as a lyricist and songwriter, it’s important that I put a message in my music and talk about things that people can get inspiration from. ![]() MN: Can you tell us about the reason behind the name of the album “Lyrics?” Where does it come from and what’s the inspiration?ĭJ: Throughout my career, I’ve always prided myself on writing great lyrics. ![]() ![]() MN: You want to talk a little bit about your entrepreneurship?ĭJ: Oh yeah! I just started my own company titled “Candy Man Music.” I’m the first artist who’s going to be released on it and I have this new album coming out called “Lyrics,” which I’m sure the fans are going to love! I’ve shown a lot of growth from the last project and I’m really excited about this new venture! Madame Noire: Everyone wants to know: where have you been?ĭonnell Jones: Oh man! I’m getting this album out and hooked up with E-One to get distribution for my label. ![]()
