“This is truly an exciting time for me,” says Lloyd. “Being recognized to such a high degree is an indescribable feeling. Over the past few years, Walter and I have established a musical chemistry that is purely spiritual and magical – as this is our second number one song together. Believe it or not, I still get as excited about such milestones as I did when I heard Pieces’ first single on the radio in1981. Special thanks to Heads Up for their belief in me, the radio stations for their support, Walter for sharing his gifts, and the fans who make this all possible.”
“James is very clear about what he hears in a song and what he sees as the end result,” says Beasley, who previously enlisted Lloyd for a track on his2005 release, For Her (“Coolness,” which shot to number 5 on the smooth jazz charts). “You just have to trust that the end result is going to be good, because with James, it always is.
