Singer, songwriter, worldwide tour head liner, producer, Oscar recipient and five-time Grammy award-winning Island recording artist Lionel Richie gets into a new groove on Just Go, his first new studio album in more than two years, arriving in stores on March 10th, 2009. Just Go features some of today's biggest writers and producers, including Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Stargate and Akon, with Lionel sharing writer credits with Terius "The-Dream" Nash, Ne-Yo, Akon, Johnta Austin, and Taj Jackson. Lead single "Good Morning," produced by The Movement, blasts out to Urban AC radio today.
Just Go is Lionel Richie's long-awaited follow-up to the RIAA gold Grammy-nominated Coming Home (September 2006), his previous studio album. The latter made chart history as the first top 10 album debut of his 26-year solo career, and spun off the #1 Urban AC chart hit "I Call It Love." Three weeks after the album's release, he opened a 7-week, 17-city headlining North American tour, sponsored by United Way. Lionel Richie's most recent project was Live In Paris (September 2007), his first concert DVD, which premiered on PBS television pledge drives across the country in August 2007, as part of the prestigious Great Performances series. The concert, taped at the Bercy Arena in May 2007, was made available on DVD with 19 live songs plus lots of extras: full-length videos for two songs from Coming Home, "I Call It Love" (shot in Los Angeles by director Jessey Terrero and star ring daughter Nicole Richie) and "Just For You"; plus the ultra-rare clip of "Angel," from the 2001 album, Renaissance. Bonus material also included intimate, behind-the-scenes footage of Lionel and his team preparing for the Paris show. The DVD was issued separately and as part of a deluxe two-disc package coupled with the 14-song audio CD counterpart, entitled Live: His Greatest Hits, which was also issued on its own. Lionel Richie became a core member of the Island Records family with the release of Renaissance in March 2001, his first album for the label (and sixth overall career solo album). Since then, he has released Just For You (May 2004), the live album Encore (September 2004), Coming Home (September 2006), Sound Of the Season (December 2006, his first Christmas album), and Live In Paris (September 2007). Lionel Richie is a pop icon who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide in his career, and has the honor of owning an Oscar an d Golden Globe Award (both for "Say You, Say Me," from White Knights) and a total of five Grammys (collectively for "Truly," Can't Slow Down, and "We Are The World"). Richie has the distinction of being the only songwriter in the modern pop era to write #1 song hits over the course of nine consecutive years: 1978 ("Three Times a Lady" with the Commo dores), 1979 ("Still" with the Commo dores), 1980 ("Lady" for Kenny Rogers), 1981 ("Endless Love" duet with Diana Ross), 1982 ("Truly"), 1983 ("All Night Long"), 1984 ("Hello"), 1985 ("We Are the World" with Michael Jackson for USA For Africa), and 1986 ("Say You, Say Me"). Lionel Richie's string of 15 consecutive top 10 R&B hits between 1981 and 1992 (five of which hit #1) - 13 of which were consecutive top 10 pop hits (also including five #1's) - stands as one of the most enviable achievements in chart history. His countless awards, also including multiple American Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, People's Choice Awards, ASCAP Awards, the World Music Lifetime Achievement Award, and more, were capped when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2003. Lionel Richie is an iconic artist who refuses to live off of the greatness of past laurels. Upcoming TV Performances include "Dancing With The Stars" (ABC) on Nov. 5 and Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve (ABC) on Dec. 31st. Over 100 concerts planned for 2009 in US, Europe, Australia and Asia.

对于五六年级的西洋乐迷，不，甚至可以说是大部分的五六年级生，Lionel Richie是个相当熟悉的名字，至少他的Say You Say Me与Hello是一定听过的歌曲。

Lionel Richie的音乐历程从70年代Motown唱片最具影响力团体The Commodores开始，1971年时，由William King、Thomas McClary、Ronald LaPread、Walter "Clyde" Orange、Lionel Richie以及Milan Williams所组成的The Commodores，跟着Jackson 5巡回演唱2年半，1974年发行首张专辑《Machine Gun》，首支同名单曲立刻便进入了Billboard top 10，之后这个以Lionel Richie为主唱的放克／灵魂乐团，在70年代发行了8张录音室专辑，直到82年Lionel Richie离团单飞为止，拥有Three Times A Lady、Easy、Still这些畅销单曲。

1981年，Lionel Richie与Diana Ross灌录的Endless Love登上9周单曲榜冠军，隔年他便离开了The Commodores发行个人专辑《Lionel Richie》，创造往后5年的全盛时期，从1982年至1987年，总共发行了《Lionel Richie》、《Can't Slow Down》跟《Dancing On the Ceil》3张专辑，拿下13首top 10单曲，其中并有5首是冠军单曲，Lionel成为80年代唯一可以与Michael Jackson相媲美的创作男歌手，并且也与Irving Berlin同列史上连续9年都有歌曲登上排行冠军的词曲创作者。Lionel Richie的歌曲，从The Commodores的黑人R&B，转偏向为成人抒情，以他极具磁性的嗓音深情演唱，成为当时情歌的代表，不仅在美国，全世界许多国家，包括台湾在内，年轻人们以他的歌曲向情人传递心意，而一些轻快活泼的舞曲也成为当时舞会上的热门播放。

入行三十年，拥有全球超过一亿张唱片的销售纪录，十座全美音乐奖、五座葛莱美奖、二十首Top 10畅销单曲的莱诺李奇，仍然热爱歌唱。他喜欢在舞台上的感觉，现场听众的回馈，可以使他整个人「疯狂」起来。在莱诺李奇三十年的创作生涯中，他曾经尝试过许多不同的内容，但是他最在行的，显然还是情歌，因为，世间所有的话题都可能过时，唯有爱情是亘古不变的，不会因为时间与文化的不同而有所差异，不论你是年轻人、还是「老人家」，谁都无法抗拒爱的诉求。听听莱诺李奇的这张专辑，相信你也会有同感。
