These songs reverberate with the pains of unrequited love as in Let Me Love You and the elation of that first touch in Hands 2 Myself. Russell compels you to listen, not just hear the jarringly honest lyrics that draw on our voyeuristic tendencies and enliven our innate need for sincere human connection; whether it be taboo as in Another Life or complicated as in Press Pause.

Russell Taylor has the educational pedigree and the street cred to bridge the chasm between the block and the yatch. He uses this unique understanding to remain true to his musical influences and overcome the pressure to only please the pop music industry. Russell also infuses his work with an international flare that began with his early musical study in the UK.

His musical CV is equally impressive as he has shared stages with some of our generation's most respected musicians: Mary J. Blige, Musiq, Jill Scott, India Arie, Mint Condition, Tamia, Rahsaan Patterson, Jaguar, Eric Roberson, Lalah Hathaway and Omar. Therefore, it is no surprise that he continues to woo audiences from Paris and LA, where they swoon over his soulful voice, pristine good looks, seductive smile and genuinely affable personality.

CONFESSIONAL is a sacred and essential gift. Open your ears and receive this blessing.
