On October 25, 2019 Shanachie Entertainment will release Calvin Richardson’s new CD Gold Dust. The pressure was on immediately– when he signed the deal for the recording he gave himself a six-week window to complete it. Richardson explains, “After my hit single “Can’t Let Go”, I definitely started off feeling the pressure. You know they say pressure burst pipes and I thought if this pipe bursts, it would be filled with Gold-Dust!”
Excitement for new music from the Prince of Southern Soul is also high because he is back at full capacity after having lost his voice in early 2018. “This was the first album that I ever made where I felt pressure because of my touring schedule, and being occupied by writing my very first book, Do You Without Them, and the fact that I had lost my voice which carried over into this year. I had to work with much less than 100% of my ability but creatively I was still there.”
About the new single, “Let Me Love On You”, Richardson says, “I found inspiration from my own relationship and the fact that everyone wants a successful relationship. The more you love on your mate, the better your relationship is going to be.”
