“Still Learning” finds Wendell B telling the classic story of a man struggling to find the right balance between his responsibilities as a married man and father and the past life that he was supposed to leave behind.

As a vocal storyteller, Wendell B is an artist who can teach contemporaries as well as the younger generation of singers a thing or two. He can move easily from the rapid fire style of vocal delivery popular among R&B singers who compete with rappers for the ears of the listening public. But Wendell B also possesses a muscular baritone and range that comes from singing in the church from his youth and then putting in years of work on the R&B circuit. And he’s helped out by some talented musical friends from the 90s R&B group Old Skool. Check out audio and video for “Still Learning” here.
