Charlie Wilson To Release New Album On Dec 7th

[img:$uid]http://i54.tinypic.com/11kwe2a.jpg[/img:$uid]

October 2010

R&B pioneer Charlie Wilson is gearing up for the release of third solo disc Just Charlie, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2009 album Uncle Charlie, hitting stores December 7th.

The set is led by the first single “You Are,” which gave Wilson his biggest career debut on both the Billboard Urban Adult Contemporary Singles chart and the R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart. Produced by Wilson and producer Wirlie Morris, “You Are” is currently in the Top 15 on the Urban Adult Contemporary chart.

Kanye West, the Insomniax and Gregg Pagani—who produced Wilson's No. 1 hit single "There Goes My Baby"—are among the other producers collaborating on ‘Just Charlie.’ The set also feature a duet with American Idol alum Fantasia on a cover of Zapp & Roger's "I Want to be Your Man."

Just Charlie is the follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2009 album Uncle Charlie.

The sophomore set earned two 2010 Grammy Award nominations for Best R&B Album and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "There Goes My Baby." Written by multiple Grammy winner Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Calvin Richardson, "Baby" tallied nine weeks at No. 1—besting Wilson's 2005 six-week run at that perch with the single "Charlie Last Name Wilson."

Uncle Charlie, meanwhile, resided on the Urban Adult Contemporary Albums chart for more than a year after debuting at #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart.

Those feats led to Wilson being crowned Billboard's 2009 Urban AC Artist of the Year. Wilson also received a 2009 Soul Train Icon Award from BET.

Track listing:

1. "You Are"
2. "Crying For You"
3. "I Can’t Let Go"
4 . "I Wanna Be Your Man" ( Feat. Fantasia)
5 "Never Got Enough"
6. "Where Would I Be"
7. "On My Mind"
8. "My Girl Is A Dime"
9. "Once and Forever"
10. "Lotto"
11. "Been Around The Word/Go Gitta"

Actually, this would be his 5th solo.

Him, Stevie, Jermaine and Smokey battling for the old brothers hair title.

George Clinton was the winner but he bowed out.

Charlie has been wearing braids since the 1990's. It's not new.

It's not that long. Rod Stewart has been wearing the same hairdo for 40 years. lol

After purchasing his last cd without having listened 1st, the ONLY way I will be hearing the new one is free. I've never listened 2 that last once since the day I got it.

I know where you're coming from.

Gray, I didn't care for his last album at all. I know people that liked it, but to me, it was pretty weak.

The new single, to me, is ok. It just sounds like it was recorded very cheaply. I like the lyrics, but the music is trash. He said on the Steve Harvey show that he wrote the lyrics.

Charlie Wilson - You Are Lyrics

Butterflies is what I feel inside
And every time it's like my first time oo wee
And I can't never find the words to say
You're the perfect girl
you're made for me
It's so easy to love you baby
We're compatible, incredible and natural we are
And girl I've never felt this way before
From the bottom of my heart
Baby girl I just wanna tell you that you are

The reason I love the reason I trust
God sent me an angel
You are the best in the world
A wonderful girl
Knowing you by my side brings tears to my eyes

baby
Girl you had me from the moment i looked into your eyes
And I knew you were an angel but you were in disguise
Tell me how can I be so lucky
that you fall down from heaven for me
oo baby

Some people searching life time and never find the true love oo wee
Heaven care enough for me to give me you
And now our heart can beat together
Standing strong girl here forever
You and I(you and I)
You and I (you and I)
I just want you to know

The reason I love the reason I trust
God sent me an angel
You are the best in the world
A wonderful girl
Knowing you by my side
and a man aint suppose to cry
But girl you are
the only woman I'll make love to
The reason I come home every night
girl you are
You're all that I need in my life
And it almost feel
it's not fair
loving you ??
You are (you are)
You are

You are the reason I love the reason I trust
God sent me an angel
You are the best in the world
A wonderful girl (you're a wonderful girl)
Waoh Oh
You are
(Baby you are)you are ??
(you are)You are all need
(you are)Baby heaven has sent you to me
(baby you are)the one for me
(you are)the air that i breathe
(you are)baby you are you are (oohh yeahh)
You are,you are everyday to me baby
You are eveything oh baby
baby you are
Baby you are.......
