Where have I been that I'd never heard of this singer until a few days ago? A friend sent me a link to this song and I immediately perked up. He sounded like Maxwell, Jon B and Prince all rolled up into one. I'm tingling even writing this! LOL.
Remy Shand released one album back in March 2002 that became a huge success in Canada where he was born. He sold about 500,000 copies in the states and developed a very loyal following. Back in 2002, this 24 year old was a 'blue-eyed' soul singer signed to Motown.
Unfortunately his story doesn't end well. Remy Shand recorded that one album and then was never officially heard from again. He fell in love with a girl that appeared in one of his videos, they married and then went through a bad divorce and Remy just disappeared. That is incredibly sad because I'm loving his sound the same way that I love me some Maxwell!
Remy wasn't promoted in the right way. Shame on you Motown for letting this young man slip through your fingers!
I remember him back in 2002... I was still in elementary school when his first single came out...I used to get made fun of cause I liked his music more than I liked 50 cent. But I definitely remember his smooth sound.
ReplyDeleteIs there any good news regarding his music career as of right now?

Not really, I was doing an internet search and his fans are begging for his return. I don't know where I was when his music was playing but I'm definitely sorry that I wasn't there supporting him!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly a shame...cause one of his songs playing while soaking in a bubble with some vanilla or caramel scented candles lit makes a very mellow mood.
