Today, they\u2019re offering up the first track from it, \u201c\u2018Til I Found You,\u201d an upbeat, gospel-tinged vocal powerhouse that features music by the group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/sounds-of-blackness\/\" id=\"auto-tag_sounds-of-blackness\" data-tag=\"sounds-of-blackness\">Sounds of Blackness<\/a> and singing by Ann Nesby, Big Jim Wright and Lauren Evans. In addition to leaving room for each of the singers to push their voices to the heavens (in fact, they sing, \u201cHeaven must be like this\u201d), the track contains many signatures of Jam and Lewis\u2019 trademark sound, including snappy rhythms and horn accents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSounds of Blackness will always hold such a special place in our hearts because they were the first act we signed to our original record label,\u201d Jam said in a statement. \u201cWe felt it was only right for this single with them to introduce our compilation album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt great to be back in the studio with Sounds of Blackness and create new music we\u2019re really proud of,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThe track definitely sets the tone for the album, and we can\u2019t wait for our fans to hear what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jam and Lewis have yet to reveal what other collaborations will be featured on the album.<\/p>\n<p>Since the early Eighties, the duo, which met in Minneapolis, has worked with Prince, the Time, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Mary J. Blige, Chaka Khan, New Edition and many others. In addition to nine Hot 100 Number Ones for Janet Jackson, they\u2019ve written songs that claimed the top spot for the Human League, George Michael, Karyn White, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey and Usher. They\u2019ve earned more than 100 sales awards, including diamond plaques, and have won five Grammys.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/jimmy-jam-terry-lewis-new-til-i-found-you-821606\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the songwriting team behind some of Janet Jackson and Boyz II Men\u2019s biggest hits, will release a new compilation of new original music, Jam &amp; Lewis: Volume One, this summer.
