Lillo Thomas - Come And Get It (2010)

The Brooklyn native grew up singing in his father s church. A successful track star who qualified for the Olympic Games and went on to have 3 successful albums on Capitol records. His pulsating groove You re A Good Girl had all the nasty girls wanting to change their ways. I m In Love , Sexy Girl and the melodic foreplay of Wanna Make Love were all Top Ten R&B singles. Sold out tours in the US, Europe and Brazil followed. Just as Lillo was about to have that year of stardom that artists crave, he made the decision to pause and wait to do it on his terms. As most young eager artists he signed a deal with limitations. No animosity as Lillo acknowledges, it was the vehicle to my future....you grow, you learn and how you handle that, makes you who you are. A savvy businessman Lillo was able to take that time and record in his studio as he experienced the ups and downs of life and love. A release of the Best Of Lillo Thomas on the historic Brunswick records prompted a reawakened interest from his audience. He received emails and letters from fans who professed how his music had been there through special moments in their life. It was then that Lillo, who also felt that there was a return to R&B in the music climate, decided it is time to release the CD that he has just completed. I did this one for me. But as Lillo found his experiences were not his own. Friends and family were asking for copies because they were going through the same emotions. Come And Get It the new album features the sultry first ballad What s Not To Love and the rhythmic Rubbing Your Body which reteams Lillo with Paul Laurence who was influential in many of Lillo s earlier hits. There are many talented singers out there, but Lillo s unique voice is what separates him from the rest. Once heard, like the haunting memory of a familiar fragrance, you know its Lillo.
