Calvin "The Soul Prince" Richardson is a soulful singer worth discovering, or should I say re-discovering since he has been putting out quality music for almost a decade now. Born and raised in Monroe, North Carolina, Richardson was bred on Gospel and classic R&B music. Some of his musical collaborations include Claudette Ortiz, Chico DeBarge K-Ci and JoJo, Angie Stone, and Raphael Saadiq. He has put forth several musical offerings ranging from his solo debut Country Boy in 1999 to a tribute album soon to be released titled Facts of Life: The Soul of Bobby Womack, a legendary crooner who Richardson is often compared to.
Fans have often stated that Richardson should not be labeled "neo-soul" or "nu-soul," but simply a creator of good music. Whether you peg him R&B or Soul, just know one thing, and that is you are always going to get your money's worth and more. He is often described as, "a man who is into romance, and genuinely cares about the one he's with...definitely different from the five and dime singers nowadays that seem to all be cut from the same cloth." Another fan says, "his music has definite replay value and is always ultimately worth a listen. "
There aren't too many artists who effortlessly evoke an old soul that translates through their art form of choice. With his fourth studio offering being delivered to his established and sure to be new fans very soon, Gypsy Soul has decided to give you an up close and personal of his music.
