  About the Album
  
  From the vantage point of 30, his age and the name of his infectious, sensually grooving new full length album, Vandell continues to be fueled by the impressive roar of accolades and achievements that have earned him a passionate global following.
  
  “The Groove,” the brassy, high octane old school soul-funk first single from 30, is an all-out, in the pocket dance floor ready jam perfectly in tune with the high octane vibe of his 2014 breakthrough EP Turn It Up – a collection that he says, “had exactly no songs less than 120 bpm, because I wanted it to be played in clubs.” The track was produced by Matt Godina, who has brought similar energy to hits by Nicholas Cole, Lin Rountree, Lebron and Julian Vaughn.
  
  A deeper listen to 30, however, reveals a maturing artist focused more on what comes later in the evening as the lights dwindle down, candles are lit and the mood is set for a more profound connection and a deeper romance to blossom. Helping Vandell bring his seductive sound to life is producer Lew Laing, whose credits include urban jazz artists Paul Brown, Blake Aaron, Richard Elliot and DW3 in addition to indie dance artist Stephanie K.
  
  Vandell creates the perfect flow for a beautiful evening with songs like “All I Need,” a lush dreamy ballad that takes wing via the powerful sax-bass duality he creates with guest artist Julian Vaughn; the coolly ambient “Chill AF,” featuring artful dual sax textures, with the harmony line playing off the melody; the whimsical, flute and finger-snap percussion enhanced “Daydream,” featuring another of Vandell’s influences, Marcus Anderson; and the graceful, easy shuffling “You and Me,” on which Vandell’s sax is backed by a beautiful acoustic guitar and sizzling horn textures. Vandell vibes with two powerhouse vocalists on two other key tracks, the emotionally compelling “Somehow” (ft. Britt Frappier) and the gently exotic, simmering then soaring “To You” (ft. Tempest B).
  
  “The new album is called 30 and it reflects the thoughts that go into reaching that age milestone,” Vandell says. “I’ve always felt like turning 30 is when you become a true adult and your career and life goals become clearer. Musically, I’ve reached a place where I’m confident in what I write, play and perform. My true sound has become evident and the music is much more mature. Don’t get me wrong, I still play a lot of funk live – I’ve just got other things on my mind. This album is so emotional that you can feel me on a whole different level.
