Marking a new chapter in his music career, Lemar, is set to release his fourth studio album The Reason and the lead single If She Knew this November.
Almost 5 years ago, Lemar released his debut album Dedicated, ushering in a new exciting juncture in UK soul music. Since then, Lemar has become the most successful black British soul artist of our time, commandeering the UK’s radio airwaves with the hit singles 50/50, Dance (With U), If There’s Any Justice and Its Not That Easy. With 3 top ten UK albums, Lemar has sold well over 2 million albums, and most notably been awarded 2 MOBO Awards and 2 BRIT Awards.
Lemar’s latest musical offering The Reason, is set to capture an even wider audience, and keep him on the path as one of Britain’s leading solo artists. He spent the last two years crafting his new LP, recording in Los Angeles, Miami and Sweden. Showcasing his production and writing talent, the new album signals a new direction in Lemar’s musical sound. Defining this new musical backdrop are the producers: Jim Johnson (Lil Wayne), Jack Splash (Alicia Keys, Cee-Lo) and Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse, Nas, Fugees).
The Reason will be released through Epic Records on the 24th November 2008.
