This man was on top of the music world with his critically acclaimed debut album "The Way I Feel,"which went Gold in the USA and garnered him 4 Grammy nominations. The album is a timeless piece of work. What people may not know is this man wrote,sang, produced, engineered, arranged it, and performed all the instruments. And if you got the opportunity to see him live, he was a extraordinary live performer.
Then, supposedly he was working on the follow-up album, that was never released or made. He just vanished from the public eye with no statement saying "He will be back" or "He doesn't want to record anymore," he just disappeared out of sight and out of mind.
At least when Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, and Maxwell will disappeared from the music scene, they had a good amount of music their fans would enjoy until they decided to comeback to the music scene. Remy only had his debut album and that was all I could find. I can never imagine in the history of music, an artist who has critically acclaimed and Grammy nominated debut album just disappeared. With no new music. With no statement. Just vanished from the earth with no reason why?
But, I just learned recently Remy is back with couple of new singles on his label Remy Records, one song is called "Politicans" and the other is called "Son Of Night," which are amazing songs. But, it had me wondering what took him so long and why such a long absence from his fans who wanted more music from him.
