Jon B acknowledges that the last four years have been tough. For one thing, his studio burned down. Then he was mired in label limbo. But the latter situation is no longer the case with the recent release of "Stronger Everyday." His first album since the 2001 set "Pleasures U Like" arrives by way of Sanctuary Urban Records Group/E2 Music Group/Vibe Select/BMG.
"This album is an encouraging statement to anyone who has been through hard times," the Pasadena, Calif.-based singer/songwriter tells Billboard. "It's true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You've got to keep it flowing."
While maintaining his smooth R&B style, an edgier Jon B also surfaces on "Everyday," which was produced by Just Blaze and features the late Dirt McGirt (aka Old Dirty Bastard). Scarface joins the proceedings on "Through the Fire," which samples Aretha Franklin's "Precious Memories."
In the midst of planning a tour, Jon B says other upcoming projects include producing a new R&B artist with his mentor, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds.
