In a statement announcing its impending release, Bryson said, “Music is my passion and when it feels right, like ‘Stand For Love’ does, the whole world has the opportunity to feel the same energy. All the right things fell into place for this project and I challenged Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to keep me up to date… while maintaining the integrity of what I have built as an important work set.
Jam & Lewis added in a joint statement, “Peabo is just one of the greatest voices of our time. It exudes a class and sophistication that is so needed in music today.
