The new single from Robert IMtume Owens ,"Elementary", dropped on Saturday (12 Aug) and a music video has now been produced for it.
Once again the song has been produced by Sound Of Superbad's Andy Welland who collaborated with him on his UK soul chart #1 hit "Vibration" in 2021 (released on vinyl by Izipho Soul), "Don't Give Up" (Mar '22) and the ensuing Club Mix (Oct '22).
The latest single is a real grower, getting better with each listen, and is already at #8 on this week's Soul Associates Top 30.
Robert recorded his first single in 1979 as part of a show group, Showtime, who recorded a cover of Commodores "Three Times A Lady". He went on to study jazz percussion at Kansas University and formed a fusion jazz band called Group Therapy (which lasted about two years) and was the lead singer for a pop band called Kokomo from 1984-1994 (not the UK band of the same name).
He won the Budweiser Showdown two years in a row which introduced him to Max Groove, a contemporary jazz artist from Kansas City, who was one of the judges. Max asked him to record the vocal for the title cut for his 1988 "Midnight Rain" album. This was the turning point when Robert decided to go professional and led to him working with Gerald Albright, Freddie Jackson, Najee, Alex Bugnon, Eric Gable, Tony Terry, Ashford and Simpson, and Grover Washington Jr. to name just a few.
