NEWS     Rising Star and Billboard Chart-Topping Singer/Songwriter, J. Brown Releases His New Single 'Late'   (New York, NY) - Billboard chart-topping singer/songwriter, J. Brown releases new single "Late" (Mocha Music/United Masters). This release marks the next chapter for one of R&B's most consistent and celebrated artists, a man who has delivered three consecutive Billboard #1 singles and eight consecutive Billboard Top 10 R&B Singles Charts. "Late" is a timeless piece of musical art that speaks directly to anyone who has ever recognized their worth and refused to be someone's afterthought. With a smooth, soulful sound rooted in the Motown tradition, J. Brown delivers the message with quiet conviction and undeniable honesty. J. Brown hails from Detroit, Michigan, the legendary birthplace of Motown Records. His mother, a former Motown artist herself, planted the seed early, and influences ranging from Usher and Nas to Jimi Hendrix and Sting have shaped a sound that is at once classic and undeniably current. His musical journey began in the church, where Sunday choir performances sharpened his vocal instincts, eventually leading him to Grambling State University and a deal with Universal Republic Records. His most recent #1, "True Love," from his acclaimed album "Just a Matter of Time," dominated the charts and further cemented his place among the elite voices in the genre. Now, with "Late," J. BROWN sets his sights even higher. This is not a record chasing a trend. It is a record built to last, written from a place of truth, and delivered with the kind of artistry that only comes from years of dedication to the craft.  # # #    (Source: 2Rs Entertainment & Media) www.JourneytoSuccessASystematicReview.com
