Carl Thomas working with **QUIK** on his next album
« on: June 11, 2007, 07:56:08 PM »
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."

I don't live for the man, but I do study him so I can hope my pimp hands one day become as strong as his. When i first started listening to him, my hands were only strong enough to crush a beetle.  Now that i've studied him for 15 years, my hands are strong enough to crush a dog.

I dont know if Quik made the album but most of the songs were produced by Mike City (producer of "I wish" and Brandy's "Full Moon")
