Tis the season for a comeback.
At least, that seems to be the mentality behind Freddie Jackson’s new album. After a seven year absence from the recording scene, the musical legend released “For You” just in time for the holiday shopping rush.
The album was helmed by well-known producer Barry Eastmond, who helped facilitate Jackson’s comeback effort. Consequently, Jackson focused his efforts on challenging himself creatively, and the new album already boasts the single “I Don’t Wanna Go.” The majority of the tracks are powerful ballads, designed to feature Jackson’s distinctive voice.
At age 53, Jackson has already had a storied career with hits such as “Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)” and “You Are My Lady.” His prolific career has spawned chart topping hits in the 80s and 90s, proving that this crooner has come a long way since his humble start singing backup in a Harlem nightclub.
