“It’s an R&B/Pop/Rock song which I wrote after completing ‘The Dream’ album. Having grown up with Motown, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, James Brown and anything funky, my Rock/Prog style is one of rhythm.”

He further added “I wrote ‘I Need You’ and ‘When You’re Smiling At Me’ in two days and said, well, that’s not me! After reflecting, I realized it was me, based on my roots and at this point in my career, I feel a certain amount of diversity and exploring my roots is something that I want to do. Based on the first single, it’s also what people like so I’m excited to release it. I hope it’s received well.”
