Joe - Bridges (2014)

In retrospect of looking back over the past twenty years, R&B superstar JOE Thomas crosses BRIDGES. The crooner's new Album clearly defines his new outlook on life's relationships and where they have taken him. Why “BRIDGES”?

“ We build them, cross them, burn them, then soon realize how much we need them” - JOE

“Relationships are Bridges and at some point in life we must take full responsibility for where we have allowed those relationships to take us. Most important, what relationships or BRIDGES are we building, crossing into or burning?”

The Album is described as therapeutic and open. “I must confess I've had my share of girls in my lifetime – honestly I've been on the wildest rides and maybe I should slow it down” are the opening lines of the Album's introduction single – 'LOVE & SEX' PT. 2 which features the beautiful KELLY ROWLAND of Destiny's Child and X-Factor fame.

An ensuing string of hits — “All That I Am,” “I Wanna Know,” “No One Comes Close”— sealed Joe's reputation in the 2000s as an R&B superstar. And the seven-time Grammy nominee's memorable collaborations with Mariah Carey, Big Pun and G-Unit further underscored his musical versatility.

Joe's flexibility offstage extends beyond cooking to sports (“I'm very competitive when it comes to basketball, bowling and shooting pool”). He'd love to return to school and get his degree. But right now, it's all about connecting with BRIDGES.
