However, nothing takes greater precedence in Q's professional life than charting the course for his own musical career. Q has been busy carefully crafting his anticipated solo debut entitled Q PARKER: THE MANual, which promises to be a great blend of classic and new school R&B. THE MANual features songwriting by Q Parker, RL, Carvin Higgins, with production by Chuck Harmony, Ivan Barias and Kendrick Dean. ?This album is very personal to me for two reasons. For starters, THE MANual is an audio guide and an honest look at how I believe a woman should be treated by a man. Another reason this album is so special to me is because it shows my growth as a man who is now out on his own making his mark as an individual in his career and personal life.?
