The singer/songwriter of contemporary
rhythm 'n' blues known as Robert Maddrey has released his latest
official single, "Paint a Picture." Like the rest of his
growing repertoire, "Paint a Picture" has been proudly
published again under the ThickerThanWater Productions independent
record label without the direction or support of the corporate music
industry. A smooth, classy, and heartfelt R&B ballad riding with
a mellow groove that will surely appeal to fans of any genre. "Paint
a Picture" is the latest reason for fans, listeners, and even
the music industry itself, to sit up and seriously take note of this
budding and trending artist and producer on the horizon.
Asked to cite some of his main artistic
influences, Robert Maddrey lists Ray Parker, Jr.,Frankie Beverly, Ron
Isley, Al Green, Issac Hayes, and "the sound behind the Motown
sound" the Funk Brothers," calling them "the great
sounds of our history." His own tone on "Paint a Picture"
is less dramatic than Al Green's and more subtle than Isaac Hayes',
making for a style that is
modern, non-derivative, and will surely
stand the test of time.
Helping to produce the magic behind
“Paint a Picture” is Robert Maddrey's brother, Paul Maddrey, Jr.
who is undeniably bringing unprecedented musicianship to the table.
This chemistry of musicianship helps create their characteristic
sound that is slowly bringing ThickerThanWater productions closer and
closer to the music forefront.
Speaking of the themes of his newest
single, Maddrey writes, "'Paint a Picture' as in painting a
picture with music and song. Music is not just a sound but a feeling
that you create. It's a simple but important message of peace and a
musical vision of hope for the world– just a 'feel good' song that
any real music
lover can't help but enjoy."
The publication of his first prominent
single, "Change," came in February 2016, followed in May by
"Never Forget", which was published under the "FaithWalk
Entertainment" umbrella. Paint A Picture' is a great follow up
release after 'Change' and 'Never Forget.' The three songs compliment
each other as well as show the great versatility in musical style and
genre.
"From the vocals to the
instrumentals," writes Maddrey of his single, "'Paint A
Picture,' I believe this song is destined to bring real music and
musicianship back to life and to the airwaves. This song is truly a
musical vision of the way the world should be. Bringing real music
back in all genres as well as continuing to spread our universal
message of peace. 'Paint A Picture' is a great follow up release
after 'Change' and 'Never Forget.'”
Maddrey has said of ThickerThanWater
productions, "We love to make music and we make music to love."
