So I had a lot of songs that people never heard before and I was hearing a lot of my fans saying “we miss real R&B,” so you know, I needed to let people hear this stuff so I just put together the ‘Lost Files’ and I think it’s a great prelude to my new album dropping early 2010. So why the ‘Lost Files?’ĭonell Jones: I made the ‘Lost Files’ man because in between every album that I’ve created I usually make a lot of songs for every album and those songs never get heard because when I start on a new album, I just start fresh. Now I’m in position to do a lot of the stuff for myself that I know they wouldn’t quite actually do. It just felt like they never promoted me correctly. I mean it’s something I wanted to do for a long time because I’ve always felt like I’ve gotten shafted when it came time to put out my record. Singersroom: Is this new situation better or worst for you?ĭonell Jones: It’s a lot better for me. Singersroom: You’re doing your Indie thing now….was your split from Arista/Jive amicable?ĭonell Jones: It was…we pretty much was fed up with each other.
Now independent, Jones plans to give his fans not only more great music but also a glimpse into his personal life, whether it’s on Twitter, video chat, etc. Even with his label not throwing the full machine behind his albums, Jones still manages to stay relevant, creating fans all over the world, by creating timeless music. Platinum R&B heavyweight Donell Jones has been producing real R&B since his debut album ‘My Heart’ in 1996.
