Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer John Forté is set to debut StyleFREE the EP, his first collection of new music to be released in eight years. The EP will be made available on John’s new website, www.johnforte.com on July 14 exactly nine years from the day he was arrested on charges of drug trafficking and will be in stores (physical and digital) nationwide in August. Forté’s undeniable talent as a lyricist and musician, far from diminishing during his incarceration, has grown and matured. His new songs, full of powerful social commentary combined with hope and inspiration, bear witness to the remaking of a man and his struggle to remain free – they are a testament to his spiritual journey and proof that the phoenix can, and will, rise from the ashes. On StyleFREE the EP Forté delivers an eclectic group of songs, including tracks reminiscent of mixtape culture and throwbacks from Forte’s childhood in Brownsville, Brooklyn, such as the title track, “StyleFREE”. The EP also contains powerful ballads like “More Beautiful Now,“ and the self-affirming “There We Are” each track being equally honest, poetic and creatively expressed. Despite having been largely removed from the tech revolution the past 7 years, Forté has wasted no time embracing new technologies and new business models with regards to his music. He is pre-releasing StyleFREE the EP .John Forté is also excited to offer his first single, “Play My Cards for Me”. |
