Yes, it looks like he's recording. It would be great if he could get a single out this Spring

It was classy and showed how vocally talented he is. "Love, Love, Love" did well but I don't remember where it peaked. It's a strange situation with his music. Some fans don't like the urban style and don't think it suits him while others think that music like that on the current album doesn't pack enough of a punch. So, it'll be interesting to see where he goes.

Love that photo and the caption. I believe FWW was recorded in California. Excited to see what's coming. Posted the photo on facebook.
As you can see, I gave this thread it's own board so that it will stay visible.
Any guesses as to what the new music will be like?

As for guessing what the new music will be like - that's a tough one but since we are just guessing...I envision "Soulful" meets "The Return." That would incorporate the soulful ballads as well as mid-tempo songs that I think would work. I would hope for better written songs though. Somehow I don't see him going too far away from anything he has done but who knows. I'm still hoping for at least one song that is in full booming voice.

Unconditional Love is my favorite and I would love more of that but that probably won't be what's best for him. We need more diversity in music. I'm just happy that he got to do a classic album with David Foster.

I'm just happy that he got to do a classic album with David Foster. "Unconditional Love" is the perfect style for him, I think. I just don't know where he can go with that. That's why I mentioned his past albums. He mentioned on Instagram that he's coming hard (or something like that) which makes me think that he is coming with the style that brought him hits. I don't know. He has matured a lot vocally so it'll be interesting to hear if he goes that route.

I had actually forgotten about that cast recording when I first saw that they were recording together. Honeysuckle Rose was a beautiful performance. The whole Ain't Misbehaving album was good. Not something to jam to but a real quality album and definitely worthy of the Grammy Nomination it received. It'll be interesting to hear them together in a different type song. I think we need to remember though that every recorded song doesn't always end up on a CD. He seems to be working steadily on the album. Still hoping that he can release a single in the Spring.
Here's Frenchie & Ruben:

Yes, we just have to wait and see what and who is on the album but it's good to see who he's working with. I hope he gets more than 2 new songs this time and I hope theyre not as inspirational (can't think of a better word) than the last two. LOL!

Fred Bronson talked with Ruben backstage during his American Idol appearance this week and Ruben shared a few sketchy details of the upcoming project: 'American Idol' Behind the Scenes: Daniel Seavey Uptown Funks It Up, Ruben Studdard Returns Studdard revealed that he is working on a new album, though the details remain confidential at this point. “I don’t think anybody’s going to expect the kind of music I’m putting out. It’s going to be a pleasant surprise. I’ve been in the studio since February and will be recording through the summer in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York. Usually when I do an album I record a hundred songs. READ MOREWell, that's something to ponder.

Thanks! I hadn't seen this but I did see the video below. He's touring with David again this Summer and talks about the new album:

Well that's something to ponder. Sounds interesting. What kind of music could it be? I guess it'll be Fall before we find out. LOL!

Could it be dance? Electronic? Blue Grass? Grunge? LOL!
I know...It's going to be Punk Rock. He said the songs so far were smashes. That was a hint! Don't they smash things in Punk Rock?

Well, I guess he hasn't done a jazz album but since he has done some jazzy R&B songs, would he would consider us to be pleasantly surprised? I wonder. I'm still waiting for my big song from him. I still want a big full voice belting song from him.

I've like his jazz flavored songs but I don't know if I would want a whole album of him doing that. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. That is, if it is jazz.

Well, I think we might have a modern Urban A/C song if whatever this is makes the cut. **That beard though **

I agree, it probably is Urban AC. About that beard, I don't think that's likely to change any time soon. LOL!
