YouKnowIGotSoul: Talk about the creative process for this album.Ĭalvin Richardson: It was a real organic thing. Obviously Eric Benet was involved with the creative process, but he still let me be me and that was the most important. They let me make the record the way I wanted to.
They’re giving it the proper attention and they’re really behind the record. There’s a lot of aspects that they’re making sure I pay attention to and focus on. I’m not really a social media person to be honest. Now I feel like I have a real team and they’re doing all the things like social media and making sure I stay on top of that. I’ve always been the hardest worker on the team. Well with Primary Wave and Jordan House, I can actually see it and feel it. I’ve been at labels before where I was told that the project was a priority. You’ve been on a couple of labels in the past, so what’s the biggest difference between them?Ĭalvin Richardson: It’s a major difference. YouKnowIGotSoul: The whole Primary Wave/Jordan House situation is sort of unique. We never did any shows together and our paths had never crossed.

He was like “I don’t know if you’re signed to anybody or if you’re free to do it, but when I got this situation, the very person that I wanted to approach about it was you.” I was like “How cool is that? How can I say no to that?” Plus I was a huge fan of Eric Benet’s as well. He said he had been working his whole career to get to this point where he can sign artists that he loved their work and had a respect for their talent. He said that the artists he was interested in signing had to be artists he was a fan of prior to this. YouKnowIGotSoul: How did he pitch this situation to you?Ĭalvin Richardson: He told me he had a new label situation that he was ready to start. He was a real cool guy and real down to earth guy. After the show, we went out and had dinner and ironed everything out. We talked briefly on the phone about that and when I met him, I met him at the show after I got done performing, he came backstage and introduced himself formally. As far as situation, I mean the possibility of me signing to his new label Jordan House Records. Eric had called me a couple of weeks prior to that and introduced me to his situation.
We were actually on a show together out in Memphis, Tennessee. Take us back to your first meeting with Eric.Ĭalvin Richardson: I met Eric last summer in 2013. YouKnowIGotSoul: You have a new label situation with Eric Benet and you’re signed to his Jordan House label now. YouKnowIGotSoul sat down with Calvin prior to him performing at our Sol Village showcase and discussed when he first met Eric Benet, how he was pitched signing with his label, the creative process of the new album, and more. All signs are pointing to Calvin following Eric’s footsteps and reaching new heights as well. With the release of his new single “We Gon Love Tonite”, it’s obvious the musical direction of the new album is already on point. The Calvin Richardson signing made so much sense he’s had plenty of past success, he’s got an amazing voice, and he’s able to successfully tour even without an album out. After partnering with Primary Wave, Eric has arguably taken his own career to new heights, and now he’ll look to do the same with another artist.
