Eric Hudson provides a masterful backdrop for the album's third track, "Treat U Good". While Big Reese and Jasper dominate the album in production credits, with five, this doesn't mean that other producers don't show up with fine sonic creations.
Lloyd makes his way deeper into Lessons along with producers Big Reese and Jasper, a Lil Wayne feature, and a "Paid in Full" sample on "Girls Around the World", a track which, although made with radio in mind, doesn't take from the album or Lloyd's integrity. A solid, synthesizer heavy instrumental by Big Reese & Jasper help Lloyd's voice and lyrics make "Sex Education" a strong introduction to Lessons. Lessons opens up with Lloyd letting everyone know that "class is in session" on "Sex Education", a track which shares the album's original title and is engulfed in a characteristically Lloyd sound with Lloyd taking it to the higher registers of his voice at times with no hesitance. An older, post-afro Lloyd masterfully laces his voice over well selected production and once again showcases his sensuous side, lyrically seducing not only his numerous female fans but, seemingly, the very beats themselves.
LLOYD STREET LOVE INSTRUMENTAL UPDATE
Lloyd: For all the update keep up with the Myspace page (and look out for the new video, single and if you don’t have the album yet pick it pick.The South's young crooner, Lloyd, is back with his third studio album, Lessons in Love, offering the first major male R&B album contender of the year. So be on the look out for all updates about the Tour and make sure you get your tickets. Lloyd: I try to make sure I do both and show people that I’m a real person that goes through different thing and can do different things as an artist.Ģ4: I’m sure the ladies want to know if your touring this Summer/Fall and are you single? with Willie Da Kid from Off of the DJ DRama album? In this game is you don’t go hard you wont last.Ģ4: I know the ladies love you when your on the female type of records but the guys feel you when your on those hooks for Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, 8Ball & MJG which is a classic record hands down and T.I. Doing my own album and turing it in to the label when its ready etc. Me becoming a man starting my own company. Lloyd: I have a artist by the name of Cris Reynolds right now besides myself because it was more of me getting my business together. Dream came in and did exactly what he does that has him right now as one of the best song writers in the game hands down.Ģ4: You also have your own label so tell me what made you decide to start a label? The record is called “I Need Love” and its crazy the video should be coming soon and I hope the people support that because I love that record and I think the people will too. Long hair don’t care(lol)!Ģ4: You got together with The Dream for your second single so tell me what was it like working with him? Lloyd: I saw that man, but I don’t think I’ll be going down that lane for a long time. Personally I felt like we needed to bring something new to it with a twist because that sample is so well know by Hip Hop heads and we accomplished that.Ģ4: Trey Songz recently cut off his braids so do you see yourself getting the itch to do the same? I thought it was a good record and thought we did justice to the sample. Lloyd: That’s the fans man, that’s the DJs. On Street Love I was letting the ladies know I love be I still have a street side to me so I might be out with the goons at the club but I’ll come home and make love to her at the same time.Ģ4: Your first single “Girls All Around The World” seem to just take off soon as it was released so did you think it was going to get that good of a response?
LLOYD STREET LOVE INSTRUMENTAL HOW TO
Lloyd: I would say on this its more about me helping the fellas how to treat a woman again because it seems we forgot a little for what ever reason. We both just want to make sure each record can be bigger than the last one, thats the mentality before a record.Ģ4: How does this album “Lessons In Love” differ from “Street Love”? As far as Wayne and me he’s the same way he’s always in the studio or doing shows. I just try to get into the studio and create the best music possible. 24: You always come back with big records every time your ready to drop your album and you and Lil Wayne seem to have this great chemistry so talk about that?
