On this album, hes looking forward to showing how hes evolved. I wanted people to just flow from song to song, explains Jennings. He also opted not to include his signature story interludes. But what makes this album different from Lyfe 268-192 or The Phoenix is that Lyfe has matured and hes ready to take his life and music career in a different direction. The Phoenix featured the smash hit and cautionary tale, S-E-X, and made him a household name. He captured an even broader audience last year with his sophomore effort, The Phoenix, which expanded on his story, taking listeners through different phases of a man with new fame and money. With its brutally honest lyrics, Lyfe walked listeners down his rough, turbulent road, brilliantly giving them an edgy autobiographical history lesson that made many able to relate to him. Hailed as gritty and raw, the album created devoted fans from everywhere. ∻y working with different people, naturally I am able to tap into those different genres and audiences. Lyfe, a native of Toledo, Ohio, entered the music world in 2004 after the release of his critically acclaimed, platinum debut Lyfe 268-192. ∾verybody has their own genre of music and their own audience, he expresses. He decided to work with more people on this album to add a diverse, eclectic spin to Lyfe Change. Producers include The Underdogs, Rich Killa Keller and Jean. But on this project I actually worked with different producers and a few writers. The 11-track album, slated to be released late this year, features Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Wyclef Jean (who wrote Wild, Wild, Wild), and two of Lyfes protégés, rapper Doc Black and singer Gritz. In the past I didnt work with different producers, I produced and wrote most of my albums by myself. The album is called Lyfe Change because Im changing it up a bit, explains Lyfe. He has grown and his latest album proves it. Hes ready to establish an even deeper connection with his fans and garner new ones. With his authentic, soulful voice, innovative, creative style and undeniable talent, Lyfe is ready for a Lyfe Change. The evolution of Lyfe Jennings was bound to happen.
