    Longtime session and touring vocalist Les Dion captured the attention of mellow R&B fans in 2012 with the release of his debut solo album, Back 2 Smooth, and his subsequent contribution (“Glowing Tonite”) to The So Soulful Collection in 2013. Presently, he’s readying his second full-length set, Uncovered, a collection of soul classics that honors the authenticity and pure flavors of timeless gems by the likes of Maze, Sade, and The Temptations.

    Les is sharing a taste of Uncovered, due this summer, with SoulTrackers via a gentle and graceful rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour.” Of the upcoming CD, he says, “This project is dedicated to honoring legendary soul artists. It goes against the typical R&B grain in the sense that it is predominantly a ballad album and is not highly sexual. We’ll be promoting the project by putting the focus on the legends more than me.” Take a First Listen to “My Cherie Amour” below and let us know what you think!
