*“Meeting in My Bedroom” hit makers SILK (Tim Cameron, Jimmy Gates, Gary “Big G” Glenn, Jonathan “John John” Rasboro, and Gary “Lil G” Jenkins) to release newest album in 10 years, “Quiet Storm,” on the Shanachie Entertainment imprint.
“We did not want to step out side our boundaries,” said John John about what we can expect from the March 18, 2016 album release. “People come out adapting to the new stuff…we stayed true.”
The first single and music video from the multi-platinum selling R&B group’s “Quiet Storm” album is titled “Love 4 U 2 Like Me.”
“The first single, when we came upon this song…we listen to the track…we heard the same thing…we felt it all together, we loved this track and the lyrics. It kind of felt there was a Spiritual cause,” said Jimmy when asked if they had any “Spiritual” experiences while recording the album.
“Most songs are like a Spiritual thing,” added Tim. “When we all like a song”
The group was formed by American Music Award winner Keith Sweat in Atlanta and then signed to Elektra Records in 1989. At Elektra they released four albums: “Lose Control” (1992), “Silk” (1995), “Tonight” (1999), and “Love Session” (2001). They independently released “Silktime” in 2003 on Silk Music Group and in 2006 released their first Shanachie project “Always and Forever.” “Quiet Storm” is their second project on the Shanachie label, new home of Regina Belle and Pieces of a Dream.
It has been 10 years since SILK had a project together. When asked about any apprehensions John John said, “For me it’s been a long wait for the fans, wanted to make sure everything is right. There’s a little anxiety, it makes us work a little harder. At the same time as long as we stay true to who we are and what we bring…”
When I asked the veteran performers, who gave us the hit “Freak Me,” what advice to young aspiring artists would they give Tim lead off with, “Stay true to your self. Believe in what you’re putting out…don’t be afraid.”
“After 20 years, the things we have learned through trail and error…is you have to learn the business…know as much of the business to avoid pitfalls,” John John added.
“…And stay humble,” Tim emphasized.
Jim concluded, “Keep parents involved especially if you are under 21. They are the best managers in the beginning, even with other managers involved.”
