Smokey Robinson lately introduced his first new album in virtually a decade. It’s referred to as Gasms. The Motown legend’s most up-to-date album was 2014’s Smokey & Friends, which noticed him collaborating with the likes of Elton John, James Taylor, and John Legend. He’s additionally shared the album’s lead single, “If We Don’t Have Each Other.”
“I chose this song as the first single of my new album because it’s different musically and has a slide dance feeling to it … which is different from what I’ve ever done before,” Robinson mentioned in an announcement. “It also has a current rhythm of today that I love, and I hope everyone else does too.”
Next month, Robinson and Berry Gordy will probably be honored with the MusiCares Person(s) Of The Year Award at a ceremony that can happen the Friday earlier than the Grammys.
