Template:Infobox Album ConCept is the third album by BlueSuedeGuy and his second under the label Paradisio Records. The album is to be recognised as the final album by BlueSuedeGuy.

Background

It was first confirmed by Twitter that BlueSuedeGuy would be working on a third album. The title, is confirmed as Concept, which is going to be his first album with "no elements of pop of any kind" and is to be centered around neo-soul, jazz, hip-hop and r&b predominantly. “The idea of this album is to show people that despite the seductive beats that I may create, the moral of the story is what I need for my listeners to get. Without that, a song is just a song,” says BlueSuedeGuy. “I want this album to bring to life the many problems and trials that we face, and tell everyone that you can get through the bad times and see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Composition & Songs

The album is geared towards a foray into Neo-Soul and Hip-Hop, whilst experimenting with other styles of African-American music, such as R&B, New Jack Swing and Urban/Quiet Storm. Unlike the last album , the album will not feature any collaborations from J.A.B, due to creative differences. The album is being produced by Don' Kew Jumpp, but additional writing and production credits will appear from Kane Marcell, Jordan Dalrymple, Torpex and Beerjeraz. The album is set feature more than one duet. The various styles of urban music will be displayed with each of the tracks featured on the album, such as garage (T.O.M.F.), alternative hip-hop (Time To Change, Goody2woShoez), neo-soul (Tear It Up) and R&B (I Will).

Singles

The first/promo single was Tear It Up. However, the album version is different to the version released. The lead single from the album, Goody2woShoez, has been his most successful track thus far, peaking at number 12 on the Uvumi Hot 100, number 5 on Uvumi's Uncategorised 100 and at the top spot on Uvumi's Hot 100 R&B. The single is due for a release in May. Caught Ya Slippin' which has thus far peaked at number 55 on the Uvumi Hot 100 was the initial second single.
