\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a world filled of blatantly sexual R&B music, Noel Gourdin <\/strong>is a nod to vintage R&B, where he takes a note out of legends like Al Green’s books.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ve got his brand new single “Only You” and deets on this talented fresh blood in the industry, when you read on…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s his second studio album, and the Columbia\/Epic Records artist is still trying to make you take notice.\u00a0 Noel Gourdin–who’s from Massachusetts–has gained fame from touring with comedian Steve Harvey <\/strong>and singing at his events.\u00a0 And he’s got an interesting voice that’s not typical in this current R&B game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noel tells YBF, ” ‘Only You’ is a very old soul Al Green type track that will be great for people to hear and get a sense of the album.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked about the forthcoming project Noel said, \u201cThis time around the implementation of live instruments such as strings, horns, bass, guitar, and grand piano offer a more genuine feel for my style of music. The refreshing blend of live instrumentation, organic production, and lyrical content is reminiscent of classic old soul yet relatable to current music and lyrics, and will hopefully have my fans as excited as I am about this album.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He titled his second album Fresh: The Definition<\/em>, which drops today (April 12th), and we’re showcasing his brand new single “Only You,” which is all about his respectful description of love for a woman.<\/p>\n

Check it.<\/p>\n

And his first single, “Beautiful,’ off this current album:<\/p>\n

The album is now available on iTunes! <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

About Noel:<\/em><\/u><\/p>\n

\nNoel signed a management deal with Stalin Entertainment in 2002, signed a production deal with Trakaddix, and shortly thereafter was linked to producer Kay Gee. Gourdin contributed the song \u2018Family Reunion\u2019 to the soundtrack of \u201cThe Cookout\u201d. A meeting with Sony Urban in 2005 led to a summer showcase and in 2008 Noel released his debut offering, “After My Time”. His first album is a refreshing mix of timeless R&B with a modern, youthful feel. Armed with commanding, rich vocals and a solid collection of intimate, soulful songs, this budding new talent is positioned to make an indelible mark on music\u2019s landscape by bringing together listeners across all generations and genres.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
