Carlos Budd Ford [2023] - Across The Pond [The Secret Art Society] (Full EP)

Carlos Budd Ford featured here last Feb with two singles released on the same day (22 Feb '22) "Say Less" and "Side By Side". Prior to that he seems to have only released a soulful house tune "Set The Mood" and an album "There's Only One Me" from which it was taken in 2019. He subsequently released another soulful house style song "Life Is What You Make It" in Apr '22.

"Say Less", in particular, was well received 'across the pond' and in appreciation for the response he has received in the UK and Europe he has named the title of his new EP "Across The Pond" to be released this Friday (3 Feb '23) in advance of an album "The Definition of R&B" which is due in May '23. The six track EP contains the two singles "Say Less (Fleetwood Mix)  and "Side By Side"

He writes:

"The concept for "Across The Pond" started with me wanting to show appreciation to the fans and DJ’s who embraced me along my musical journey throughout the UK and European entertainment scenes respectively. Whether it be radio play, interviews, streams or downloads, they came through for me in a big way. As an emerging artist from the U.S., the success I garnered from that region was exhilarating, well appreciated, and truly valuable. When we Americans generally speak of The UK and Europe, they are affectionately referred to as “across the pond.” I received so much love and support from them that I was inclined to give back. Thus, here we are. As we worked to complete this project, we began creating an array of different styles of music that touched on jazz, blues, R&B, and pop. This project of six songs is the setup for an album project entitled "The Definition of R&B" which we plan to release in May 2023. We are steadily creating and are looking forward to sharing what we’ve been working on".

Carlos is originally from Kansa City but now lives in Toronto and was once signed to Uptown (MCA), producing for Jeff Redd, and Ruffhouse (Columbia) and was lead vocalist of a New Jack Swing group Four Sure with Joey Elias, Livio Harris and Damon Thomas (who was married to Kim Kardashian) who released an album "We Can Swing It" and a couple of singles from it in 1993. He has also worked with Adina Howard and CeCe Penistone.
