NEW YORK – Almost a decade has passed since then Smokey Robinsons latest album but new music from the King of Motown is on the horizon.
Robinson will release the nine-track album Gasms on April 28, the music legend behind hits like “My Girl” and “The Way You Do the Things You Do” announced on Friday.
“Gasms” features new songs produced and written by Robinson himself. The former vice president of Motown Records released his last album together, Smokey & Friends, nine years ago, which featured the likes of Elton John, John Legend, Steven Tyler and Mary J. Blige.
The first single from the forthcoming album, ‘If We Don’t Have Each Other’ is available now on streaming services.
Robinson is a legendary record producer, songwriter, record label executive and solo musician who has written over 4,000 songs and is inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll and Songwriters Halls of Fame.
The musician has collaborated with other historic Motown artists such as the Temptations, Mary Wells, Brenda Holloway and Marvin Gaye.
Robinson will soon be honored alongside fellow Motown musician Berry Gordy as the 2023 Persons Of The Year at The Recording Academy’s annual MusiCares event on February 3 in Los Angeles.
