Brutha Interview With Examiner.com
Reminiscent of a grown and sexy version of the Jackson 5 the five brothers of Def Jam's R&B group Brutha know the true meaning of harmony both vocally and in life. Raised by a father who was no stranger to the music business, having a string of R&B albums of his own in the '80's, Grady Harrell immediately identified the talent his boys Jake, Grady, Anthony, Papa and J.R. possessed. And it wasn't long before that was recognized within the industry. Signing with Def Jam Records in 2007 before releasing their self-titled debut album and scoring a deal on BET's reality show Brothers to Brutha in 2008, the five are accustomed to the heat and scrutiny of the spotlight. Now preparing to release their sophomore effort entitled, Vacancy the guys are confident they've laid the groundwork necessary to take this album and their fanbase to the next level.
"We all share the same passion and we're all taught by our dad. We have music in us and we live and breathe it." Anthony told me when I sat down to get to know this smooth Brutha-hood. And it's clear right away that each brother contributes his own distinct flavor to the group creating the perfect blend.
Grady, who his brothers accused of being a lady's man admits, "I sing most of the top notes in the harmonies. And I attract a lot of women and just pass them off to my brothers."
Anthony said, "I actually produce music. I'm not a famous producer but one day I hope to be. I come up with a lot of the ideas for songs and I actually work on our vibe and stuff."
While Jake says he likes to be smooth but, "When I get onstage I like to be explosive so I bring a lot of energy onstage but really smooth singing to all our harmonies."
The softer spoken J.R. adds, "I think I bring the same kind of element that Jacob brings, the smooth harmonies and everything, only at times I'm not smooth. I have a wider range, a kind of urban hip hop thing."
And Papa, who his brother's dubbed the Teddy Pedergrass of the group brings the bass and fashion sense to the mix saying, "I have the lowest voice so I take most of the bass notes and give it a nice little grown up sound. Also, I'm very fashion forward so I keep my brothers updated on the cool little trends. I like to make sure everyone around here is fresh."
They do look as fresh as they sound on their new album Vacancy which is due out in the Spring of 2010 and was inspired by a three day trip they took to Las Vegas. Papa said, "Those three days we had in Vegas were so crazy we just started going with the hotel theme idea and we stuck with it." continuing, "The basic three themes are: sex, fun, love and all the above." Since the debut single on the album, 'One Day On This Earth is a love song Anthony explained, "We're kind of working backwards by telling the love of our lives 'I wanna spend my last day with you' and then we're gonna work back and get to the sex, getting in trouble, having fun, going crazy and things."
Featured artists on Vacancy include Rick Ross and one of the Harrell brother's R&B idols R. Kelly. Anthony said, "R. Kelly is great man. He's one of the main artists that we've always wanted to work with. For years now we've been saying ‘We got to work with R. Kelly.' Kelly appears on a track called 'Talk Box' and wrote 'One Day On This Earth'. "We're still tripping that we got to work with him, you know. It's a dream come true. He's a genius."
As if the Vegas inspired album wasn't enough guilt to admit to, for fun I asked Brutha to admit their musical guilty pleasures as well. Their sense of humor and eclectic love for music emerged instantly when J.R. dished, "I like that song, I think it's by Kelly Clarkson, ‘Since You've Been Gone'." And the laughter erupted when Anthony boasted, "I got one and I don't even necessarily like the artist but the song is growing on me, Waka Flocka Flame 'Oh Let's Do It'. It's growin' on me." And Jake added, "I like a bunch of rock. I love Coldplay, Maroon 5, Lifehouse, all them bands, I love them all."
With larger than life personality and sound, the rich vocals and smooth R&B flavor make Brutha a group to keep an eye on this summer. Jake summarized it best when he revealed what he classify's as a theme song for his life right now, "I think mine right now is ‘This Time Around' by Michael Jackson. That song embodies what we're doing. We're not wet behind the ears no more, we're sophomores in the game and we're coming hard."
