This soulful jazz excursion is Alex Bugnon’s personal response to his fans. "I stayed on the road nearly four years, playing mainly in the U.S. and at European festivals. Every time I’d perform, people would ask me when my next album would be out. I’d always say, ‘I promise you, soon,’ even though I knew it would not," he admits. "The title really speaks to the people who asked me. They will know, it’s very personal to them."
Just as promised, Alex Bugnon fulfilled a commitment to his fans…with one mighty set of music. Bugnon praises his band for "…a real group effort. Everyone treated this project as their own, with a lot of interest and excitement. Their brainstorming made the whole process very dynamic." His grooves on the keyboards are joined by a group of artists which reads like a "who's who" in jazz and R&B - Christopher Williams’ (All That I Can Say) slinky, soulful vocals; Gerald Albright; the sensational Angie Stone (Won’t Be A Fool); and Branford Marsalis (Chasing Spirals), among many others. The sounds all come together to make a slick, exciting set filled with urban, jazz and R&B pulse.
