And letting them know my day-to-day life on what I’m doing/going through. Now, the social networking is beautiful that I can talk directly with my fans and they can give me insight on what they feel I should be doing. Back then, you had to send in fan mail and you would hope the artist would read it or get it.

I love the fact that I can reach out to my fans and we can talk personally, one-on-one.

MN: And what are differences that you’ve noticed now versus when you stepped in?ĭJ: The music itself has changed so much. That’s what is going to make me stand out because out of those guys who go to the same producers, a lot of the stuff sounds the same so when you put my record on versus one of theirs, subject matter will make me stand out from one of those guys as well as make people understand that there are different styles in R&B. What makes me so different is that I write and produce my own material and come from a different perspective. MN: What are your thoughts on the R&B artists in the industry right now? Do you have any thoughts on the Trey Songz and Chris Brown?ĭJ: I think they’re definitely talented or they wouldn’t be here! They have their own name and are doing a good job at what they do. 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.
