This September legendary singer, songwriter, producer and five-time Grammy award-winning recording artist Lionel Richie has returns with a brand new album and single. The album ‘Coming Home’ is released by Mercury Records on the 11th September and was Executive Produced by LA Reid. On the 25th September Lionel Richie releases the first single from the album, ‘I Call It Love’.‘I Call It Love’ was written and produced by Stargate, the team that recently had massive hits with Ne-Yo (‘So Sick’/’Sexy Love’) and Rihanna (‘Unfaithful’), and Lionel’s performance on the track proves once again that he is a relevant and contemporary an artist as ever. The video for ‘I Call It Love’ was shot in LA in July and Lionel’s daughter Nicole Richie has a starring role.‘Coming Home’ the album was executive produced by the head Island Def Jam LA Reid who recently oversaw the return of Mariah Carey when he executive produced her massive album ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’. The album features ten songs written/co-written by Richie, is an all-star collaboration with today’s most prolific contemporary hitmakers, including Jermaine Dupri, Raphael Saadiq, Dallas Austin, Sean Garrett, Chuckii Booker.‘Coming Home’ is the definitive new album that Lionel Richie fans have been patiently awaiting. He has personally written three new songs for the album, “Coming Home,” “Outta My Head,” and “I Love You,” all of which were co-produced by Richie with his musical director Chuckii Booker, an accomplished songwriter and producer in his own right. Booker also collaborated with Richie as co-writer/co-producer on other tunes, “Keep Me Up All Night,” and “Why” (the latter two co-written/co-produced with Sean Garrett, who has recent hits with Usher, Beyoncé and others).Working with such pop crossover masters as Raphael Saadiq (who wrote and produced “Sweet Vacation” for the album) and Jermaine Dupri (who wrote and produced “You Are”) is a natural progression for Richie, who already has one of history’s most extra¬ordinary track records at radio. Richie also co-wrote “Reason to Believe” with the track’s famed pro¬ducer Dallas Austin of Atlanta (known for his work with TLC, Pink, and Gwen Stefani). “All Around the World” was co-written and co-produced by Richie with Montreal-based Quicksound (who does the music for Cirque de Soleil). ‘Coming Home’ is the ultimate statement from Lionel Richie, a pop icon who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide in his career, and has the honour of owning an Oscar an¬d Golden Globe Award (both for “Say You, Say Me,” from White Knights) and a total of five Grammys (collectively for “Truly,” Can’t Slow Down, and “We Are The World”). Richie has the distinction of being the only songwriter in the modern pop era to have written US #1 song hits over nine consecutive years: 1978 (“Three Times a Lady” with the Commo¬dores), 1979 (“Still” with the Commo¬dores), 1980 (“Lady” for Kenny Rogers), 1981 (“Endless Love” duet with Diana Ross), 1982 (“Truly”), 1983 (“All Night Long”), 1984 (“Hello”), 1985 (“We Are the World” with Michael Jackson for USA For Africa), and 1986 (“Say You, Say Me”).
