Stevie Hawkins new single release, "I Know You Know", is a Pop/R&B radio song with an addictive groove, inspired by the sounds of Hall & Oates and Bobby Brown. Hawkins performed all vocals and instrumentation on this fun track. Lyrically, the song conveys the oneness shared by two people who love with a passion. The song is in contrast to what people are used to hearing from Stevie Hawkins. But, by Hawkins having an affinity of exploration in creating different styles of music, this only makes sense.

"I Know You Know" is written, produced and engineered by Stevie. The track was fully recorded analog on a Ampex MM1000 2" 16 track, through a Trident Series 70 console, and mixed down to a Ampex AG440 two track.

If you're a true Stevie Hawkins fan, or if you've just discovered this multi-talented artist, you'll want to have 'I Know You Know' as part of your Pop/R&B music collection. Order now!

“Diamonds In The Sky” is a sensuous, romantic ballad that will transport you to a dimension of love and soothing relaxation either by yourself, or with that very special someone. This is sophisticated Soul/R&B with smooth jazz flavors at its very best.

Stevie Hawkins fluently phrases, caresses and delivers the lyrics from whispers to impassioned intensity. The song is tastefully seasoned with warm -- layered Fender Rhodes and atmospheric synthesizers by Grammy award-winning master of musical magic, the late George Duke. Interspersed throughout the track are sultry alto saxophone embellishments by Stephan Sechi, and a lilting chromatic harmonica solo by Ralph Rosen, reminiscent of Toots Thielemans or Stevie Wonder. The song glows with vibrancy, feels good, and you will want to listen on repeat.

The bluesy big band song 'Sweet Honey', is filled with personality and a sweet treat indeed, reminiscent of Ray Charles or Count Basie. The Stevie Hawkins Blue Shoes Orchestra, a 14 piece horn section and 3 piece rhythm section, constitutes this powerful and fun song as a testament to the range of Hawkins' vocals and music, and is a magnificent addition to this release.

If you're a true Stevie Hawkins fan, or if you've just discovered this multi-talented man, you'll want to have 'Diamonds In The Sky' and 'Sweet Honey' as part of your sophisticated Soul/R&B and Big Band Blues music collection! Order now.

Music lovers of jazzy blues, this is a passionate, emotionally infused performance of the Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell classic. The arrangement is dynamic, loaded with feel and live orchestration. If you like classics, then you will love this rendition.

One might assume a remake of this song is pointless and would fall short after Ray Charles' stamp was placed on it.   However, music making simply doesn't get any better than on this classic. Hawkins, a man of understated musical sophistication went into the studio for one-day and recorded a timeless, definitive, and fully orchestrated performance of the song with straightforward simplicity, mapping out the lyric with his mastery of vocal phrasing and clarity. If you do not know of Hawkins or his recordings, this magnificent new rendition of Georgia On My Mind is a honey pot attraction, an essential purchase, and jaw-dropping good.
