Bay Area, CA -

The King of R&B is back.

After a long hiatus, Devante is back with his sophomore full-length album, The Foundation. 14 songs, fully written, arranged, composed, recorded, mixed, mastered, engineered, and sung by himself, this is an album of complete and total artist expression, in the classic R&B styling of Devante himself. No other R&B artist in the music industry wears that many hats. This album is truly unique in more ways than one.

With modern R&B music being so permeated by bubble-gum pop and the same worn-out themes of lust and lasciviousness, it's hard to imagine a modern R&B album that's able to compete with these themes, without treading on those waters; but it has been accomplished. This is an album of true substance and depth, executed with the lyrical finesse of a legendary songwriter and with production that would make you swear the album was produced by a vast array of veteran producers.

The Foundation - So what exactly is The Foundation? The 22 year old explains, "This album is the foundation on which all great R&B music has been made. Contrary to what many may think, all music is not created equal. There is a formula to good songwriting and production, all of which I have implemented on this album. This album also represents the foundation on which I first built my career - Love, Life and Relationships. If you liked 'Ready or Not,' this is the same formula, only kicked into way high gear."

Just Listen - There isn't much need to talk about what he's accomplished, from some of the most prestigious international songwriting nods or how he has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the music industry; this isn't about that. This is about one of the greatest R&B albums to come out in a very long time, and if you love R&B music, you would be doing yourself a dire injustice to not give 'The Foundation' a thorough listen. Once you do, you'll be thanking yourself that you did and becoming a part of R&B history.

    Wow, another great CD from that amazing artist! Really, I was wondering if he could do it again after the first great CD of Devante but really this is all I expect from a perfect R&B CD. Devante, I hope you´ll ever come to Germany on tour, expect me to be there!!!

  • Breath of Fresh air
    author: taniab

    In my opinion this is the best of Devante's work yet. You can tell that he put his heart into this CD which you don't really see in most artists these days. It trully is a breath of fresh air to know that REAL artists still exist.

  • Devante's best.

  • The new king of R & B? As of right now!
    author: 209 Urban/DJ Matt Esco

    DEVANTE - THE FOUNDATION The new king of R & B? As of right now, that is the only name out there that can best describe DEVANTE. With the release of his debut album THE FOUNDATION, rightfully dropping on Valentine's Day, DEVANTE has entered the world of R & B and has begun to take it over by storm. THE FOUNDATION is just that, the foundation of where DEVANTE came from and what DEVANTE stands for. This disc is hot from beginning to end, with 14 tracks that will leave you wondering when DEVANTE's next disc is scheduled to be released. From the words of his debut single "Nobody Knows" to the bangin' beats of "We Should Fall In Love", you'll be amazed to know that everything on this album was done by the man DEVANTE himself. And I mean everything!!! With all songs written, produced, even mixed and mastered by DEVANTE, this disc left me questioning is there anything DEVANTE can't do. With my favorite tracks being "Where You Are" and "What Am I Supposed To Do", I must admit this CD has not left the deck in my car. Although this CD will be loved and adored by the ladies and R & B fans alike, don't be fooled fellas, you can sure learn a lot by listening to DEVANTE and I guarantee you will catch yourself singing along.....
