There is a whole generation that grew up off love songs wafting from the smooth R&B vocals of 90's groups such as Surface,
whose memorable tracks include "Happy" (1987), "Closer Than Friends"
(1988), "Shower Me With Your Love" (1989)among others.With an album
aptly entitled "ReSurface, Where Have You Been?"-ReSurface - comprised of
David 'Pic' Conley and John Feva - are aimed at reasserting their vocals
and rhythmic sounds among old fans, as well as a new generation of
R&B lovers.
Released on June 1, 2015,
the CD "ReSurface Where Have You Been?" was produced by David Pic Conley.
Fans of the old sound can expect that plus some freshly flavored
stylings by the team which consists of; Gene Lennon, Gene Lake, Jam
Benton, Derrick 'Derky' Culler and the newest talents to join the team,
Martin Blockson and Mjestie Brooks. Both a part of the group and the
production ensemble, Conley has remained at the helm by co-producing all
of the songs in conjunction with the team, additionally co-writing all
of the tracks them alongside John Feva.
The
first release, "We Can Fly", produced by Conley with Gene Lake, has
already started generating a buzz with its video on YouTube. Showing off
his co-writing skills on the song is W. Orange New Jersey based John
Feva (formerly managed by Russell Simmons).
Now based in Aurora, Colorado, Conley is gearing up to follow the release with the June 1st full album launch. He states, "Because
of my past music I still wanted to keep things pretty much close to the
Surface in doing this record. So that's kind of what you should be
expecting... Not a lot is new under the sun but I just took the old and
blended it with the new to bring you what we have."Having also
produced and written for major artists such as Aretha Franklin, Stanley
Jordon, George Benson, and other notables like Victoria Beckham and
Damon Dash, Conley reenters the R&B world as an industry veteran
ready to connect with fresh listeners-worldwide.
