Ascending R&B star, UMI, has released her highly-anticipated debut Epic Records album, people stories. That is 15 new tracks and all produced by V-Ron, who also executive produced the album. Which features already previously released singles WHAT NOW, SOMEWHERE NEW, 10AM and the 6LACK duet, HARD TRUTHS. An album that has UMI ready to ascend to superstardom and show why she is one of the most beautiful and talented voices in R&B/Soul or really all of music right now.
UMI having the following to say in a statement about the new album, “i’ve been sitting on these parts of me for a few years now and im excited to finally fully express myself through the album. a super star is born 😉 the human experience is multidimensional, imperfect & beautiful & so is this album :). that’s what makes this project so timeless. the album began and ended w a road trip w @prodbyvron & I couldn’t have made it w/o your gift, ears, and belief in me. thank u for producing every track, engineering, & helping to birth this baby w me i love u.”
UMI also in celebration and conjunction with the release of the album premiering through Vevo the very nostalgic and dance-centered new Eric Nguyen-directed accompanying video for one of the album’s most standout tracks with the V Ron-produced, RIGHT/WRONG. Which sees the very beautifully talented singer and songwriter so intimately doing beautifully choreographed dance moves by herself. A very intimate reflection of an inner conversation with herself in the rain and over a blue backdrop. That gives very nostalgic classic late 90’s and early 2000’s R&B video vibes. As UMI so beautifully with her breezily beautiful mellow and enchanting vocals sings about a love she isn’t sure is right or wrong for her. The video really helping capture that and bring the record even more to life.
