Welcomed back as a familiar face with a familiar riff, Chauncey Black is ready to soothe your soul, blast your bass and indulge your imagination with tracks that take you from the crib to the club, from the streets to the sheets and from the first night to your wedding night. The stylish and debonair Chauncey Black is back on the block and determined to make you not only remember him but ensure that you never forget him. On his solo debut album, appropriately titled Church Boy, his silky voice is like a rich dose of a retro flavored R&B. “The album is straight to the point without being raunchy or disrespectful,” he says. “It lives a life. It grows into maturity, from hanging with your crew, to celebrating love. It’s soulful and hard, soulful street music.”
Now signed to Busta Rhymes’ Flipmode Records, Black believes his future is limitless. “I wanted to get with a team that could give me that hip-hop feel but also a team that would give me creative control. Busta let me do my whole record. He saw the history with Blackstreet and trusted me.” Recalling his first encounter with Busta in Virginia Beach at Teddy’s studio, he remembers thinking, “This cat goes hard! I need to be in this camp.” Chauncey seized the opportunity to show Busta that he was just as serious about his solo endeavor and that he could bring something different to the Flipmode family. Next thing you know, Chauncey’s Flipmode for life, with a tattoo to prove it.
“Every Day Is Your Birthday,” is the Teddy Riley produced, first single that reunited the music with the voice, to consummate a feel good song that caters to everyone. Black describes it as “aggressive R&B” music. It’s for everyone. I feel as though a man or woman can play this song for their spouse, relative or anyone that they want to celebrate. You should show that person how you feel about them every day. A birthday is just a one day celebration but what if your lover treated you as though your birthday was everyday?”
Stemming from Paterson, New Jersey, Black admits that although he appreciates the world-wide love and influence he’s received, he attributes his diverse vocal range and passion to his church roots. “Attending church every Sunday, being on every choir was mandatory in my house”, Black shares, “I was in the choir since the age of nine singing lead. My mom was a singer also so singing was everywhere around me.” Black took that gift from God and decided to really pursue a career. When the opportunity came to sing background for major singers, he took it.
No more background vocals for Black, with total control over lyrics and tracks on his solo project, Blac
