LOVE STORIES, the eagerly-awaited sophomore album by award-winning songwriter, producer and artist Gordon Chambers is reminiscent of the joyful music heard in the ’70s by artists like Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire. Chambers declares, “A lot of that music was happy-sounding and fun, orchestral but with a beat. As this album evolved, I found we were recording more material with a tempo. That wasn’t something I planned, but I’d like to think that LOVE STORIES is in that tradition of the classic soul music of the ’70s with a fresh, cutting-edge feel.”

Like many of the great works of that era, the original compositions on Chambers’ follow-up to his critically-acclaimed self-titled 2005 debut consist of full-on stories in song or musical vignettes. “Every song on the album is a love story,” says the accomplished music man, whose catalog of credits includes hits with Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Yolanda Adams, Patti Labelle and The Isley Brothers (2006’s R & B chartopper, “Just Came Here To Chill”). “Some are personal but mostly, they’re not. I’d like to think that, as a listener, wherever you are in your journey of love, there’s something here for you.”

From the celebratory opening cut, “The Next Time” to the wistful yearning of “To Love Again” (a memorable duet with soul stylist Ledisi), through the beautifully-orchestrated “Violins,” LOVE STORIES fulfills on Chambers’ creative vision.
