Author Topic: Carl Thomas working with QUIK on his next album (Read 663 times)

The consummate vocalist, former Bad Boy artist Carl Thomas, linked up with producer Mike City (who helmed Thomas' biggest hit, 2000's "I Wish") and originally was going to do a mixtape, but eventually their work turned into a full indie album, So Much Better, which is in stores now.

"It was the perfect chance for me to get those records off that Puff never let me get off," Thomas said of the project, which features contributions from E-40, Brandy, Lalah Hathaway, DJ Quik and Thomas' idols, hitmakers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. "This is like more of what you're used to: It's less experimental than my last album, Let's Talk About It."

Thomas is coming back at the right time: The Chicago native digs what's going in his genre.

"I love Amy Winehouse's album," he enthused. "I picked up Ne-Yo's album. I think it's really dope. I'm waiting on this Jill Scott project that's coming out soon, this next Usher album, I'm anticipating R. Kelly's record. There's a wonderful independent record by Anthony Hamilton that's out [Southern Comfort, a collection of unreleased tracks recorded several years ago]. Chris Brown, might I add, is a dope performer. He's really on it.

"I like what's going on in R&B and that R&B is really making money again," he added. "A few years ago you couldn't say that. Everything was predominantly hip-hop and the singers weren't getting as much money as these rappers. Now these R&B cats are getting just as much gwap, or being able to go out and secure marketing deals just like the rappers. I was just talking to Ne-Yo about this a little while ago."

The album is out now, but I don't know which track Quik produced, and I haven't listened to it yet.
