All JAZZ... all the time!
Masterful songwriting, silky vocals and emotive lyricism are just
some of the elements that have brought critical acclaim and success
to R&B singer/songwriter/producer Montell Jordan. When he arrived
on the international music scene in 1995, he immediately thrust
himself into the history books with his m ultim illion-selling debut
smash This Is How We Do It, the first D e f Jam R & B record to reach
#1 on the pop charts, where it stayed for seven weeks. Since then, the
singer/songwriter/producer has released four other gold singles, a
gold-ceitified sophomore album, toured w ith the like o f Boyz II Men,
TLC and Mary J. Blige, and contributed a track to the m illion-selling
"N utty Professor” soundtrack.
Now, with the release o f his new and third album entitled Let’ s
Ride, Montell continues his seemingly effortless clim b into the
pantheon o f musical greats. Let’ s Ride is a modem funk marvel, a
continues his seemingly effortless clim b into the pantheon o f musical
greats.
Let’s Ride is a modem funk marvel, a contemporary R &B classic
that echoes the work o f Marvin Gaye, A1 Green and The Isley
Brothers. Featuring 13 tracks co-written by Montell, the album boasts
guest appearances by such hip-hop luminaries as Master P and
Redman, as well as newcomers Kim berly Rockelle and L il’ Bo Peep.
Montell produced the album with J. Dub (Boyz II Men Faith, Case,
Sting), Teddy Bishop (Color Me Badd, Toni Braxton), Schappell
Crawford (Deborah Cox, 98, Peter Andre), Professor Funk and Jazz
“ The Man,” A ll in all, Let's Ride sets a new standard for R&B.
