HOHOHOHOLY CRAP!!!
For the past few years, this site, my Twitter feed and much of my discussion about soul music has been focused on the question “where the hell is Remy Shand?”
A little background: before Robin Thicke, before Justin Timberlake, there was Remy. A silky smooth Canadian with a buttery falsetto, Shand’s debut album, The Way I Feel, was a stone cold jam from top to bottom. The album was a decent-sized hit, earning a few Grammy nominations and selling almost 400,000 units. Then, like just about every soul musician who makes a great album, Remy disappeared (what’s up with that, anyway??)
Hey, would you look at that? Remy Shand has a YouTube page. And he premiered a few new songs, including “Wherearewegoing?” I am too giddy to write any more. Watch the video. If D’Angelo, Maxwell, AND Remy Shand all release albums in 2013, I might just spontaneously combust.

Still…that’s respectable considering the style and he’s Canadian.

Ever so often, I browse the interwebs hoping to find information on the whereabouts of Remy Shand and today, I stumble across this.
“The Way I Feel” was an excellent debut and to this day I defend it against the Robin Thicke (and the like) freaks. Shand is extremely underrated and surprisingly unheard of oftentimes.
This drop is nice. Hope he decides to give us another gem as smooth as the first.
