Al B. Sure! is the newest artist under Hidden Beach Recordings and will release his first album for the label on June 23.
Titled "Honey I'm Home," the 13-track CD is his first new studio project in more than 15 years. Ten of the songs were written and co-produced by the artist himself.
The set revolves around the central themes of love, romance and relationships, reports Billboard.com. The lead single, "I Love It (Papi Aye, Aye, Aye)," was co-produced by his longtime writing and producing partner Kyle West and also features cellist Tina Guo.
Rounding out the set are two covers - Sting's "Fragile" and Michael Jackson's "Lady in My Life" - and an interlude version of Sure!'s first No. 1 R&B hit (No. 7 pop), 1988's "Nite and Day."
"'Honey I'm Home' is 'In Effect Mode' 2009 on steroids," says Sure!, who has spent the last several years writing and producing on projects by David Bowie, Richie Sambora, Faith Evans and Usher, among others. "I didn't want to do a trendy record or sound like everyone else. This is the grown-up version of me and all that I've experienced in the interim."
