Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Here I Stand' represents a maturation in the vocalist's career, stepping away from the club-heavy crunk&b of his previous record to focus on traditional, sensual contemporary R&B. The melodic, romantic songwriting heavily reflects his personal life milestones, including marriage and fatherhood.
