JONES: Everything about a woman is appealing. I spend most of my time in the studio listening to what the classic people did. : What artists are you listening to right now? JONES: I listen to a lot of the classic material: Isley Brothers, Teddy Pendergrass, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. We were losing the love of the music for a minute and now it’s returning. Many artists from the past are coming back. Maxell and Sade have music out right now. : How do you feel about the current state of R&B? JONES: I think it’s coming back. I wanted to be a part of the executive side of business. : You have your own record label now? JONES: Yes. I also spent time developing my own label.
: Why did you take a break after the last album? JONES: All of the artists from LaFace went to Jive and my contract ended at Jive, I wanted to spend time with my family and put out the new album when I was ready.
I only get better because I learn something new each day. My lyrics, voice and songwriting ability have changed.
Also, when you listen to my first album up until now - you definitely hear the growth. This project I wanted to do most of the work. : How does “Lyrics” differ from past projects? JONES: My previous projects I did about 70 percent of the work and had producers come out for the other part. Jones spoke with about his new album, his new record label and the current state of R&B… : What was the inspiration behind “Lyrics”? JONES: I wanted to talk about the complexity of relationships. His new album, “Lyrics,” weaves together songs that deal with the many faces of love. More than just a singer, he’s a father, songwriter, producer and now a media mogul.
Donell Jones took time off from the music scene, and for the past few years, he’s grown into a man that’s about his business.
