Today is a good day to Stand for Love. Peabo Bryson is standing for love, as he celebrates the release of his long-awaited album on Perspective Records / Caroline.

Prior to the release, Bryson has dropped timeless love songs including “Looking for Sade,” “All She Wants to Do Is Me,” and his chart-topping single “Love Likes Yours and Mine.” The nine-track effort, produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, brings Bryson together with Chanté Moore and Gary Clark.

“This project started with trust,” Bryson exclusively told Rated R&B in an interview. “There’s probably not more than two other people on this planet I would have trusted with this [album] for me than Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I knew it was the right thing to do. We set challenges for each other and those challenges were met and superseded in ways that you can only dream about. Their process was a wonderful thing for me … how involved they want you as an artist to be. They aren’t trying to make you into a cookie-cutter image or a projection of themselves. They want you to be you.”
