Lil’ Man Soul
Price: $13.98
Product #: ART7017
Release: April 21st, 2009
At 28, the versatile artist, composer and producer—who was chosen Debut Artist of the Year by industry tastemaker Smooth Jazz News—is “growing up” fast in the urban jazz world, no longer the new kid in the mix. To his growing legion of fans around the world, however, he’s still their Lil’ Man Soul. It’s the perfect autobiographical title for his highly anticipated Artistry Music debut, a 12-track collection of hip, up-tempo grooving tracks and seductive ballads that musically reflect the dynamic nuances of his whirlwind life over the past two years.
“My goal was to create a listening experience that people can identify as my own vibe that’s different from any other great CD out there,” Joyner says. “I really focused on being honest and putting out a sound that’s true to who I am, that conveys the vibes I like to write and perform and draws them into the world I’ve been living in since Babysoul hit the streets. That includes some cool new sounds this time like acoustic bass, violin and acoustic piano. Strong melodies and grooves are important, but those deeper sonic details can make or break a track.”
