The new CD, Uncommon Me, by Isaac Carree will be available for purchase on August 23rd. Uncommon Me features some of gospel music's most prized producers and musicians such as Warryn "Baby Dub" Campbell, Gerald Haddon, Eric Dawkins, Tony Dixon, Lamb and Rick Robinson.
"My album is fresh and different. It's Uncommon. There is something on there for everyone and I want listeners to approach the album with an open mind [especially individuals who are familiar with my music]," said Carree.
Carree started his career in 1990 when he received the opportunity to sing with John P. Kee and the New Life Community Choir. Having honed his vocal skills under Pastor Kee, he went on to co-found the popular contemporary gospel male group Men of Standard in 1996.
After a very successful stretch with the Stellar Award Winning trio the group disbanded. "We all just agreed that it was time to take a break and felt God was positioning us to do things as individuals," said Carree.
Isaac had a hard time grasping the concept of becoming a solo artist. In the beginning, he never agreed with becoming a solo artist, but he knew that God wanted him to pursue this career path. "I was doing it out of obedience," he explained.
The debut solo album reflects his journey on discovering who he is as a solo musician and man of God. "I see now why God asked me to enter this journey. I have learned things that I could not have learned being in a group. Through this obedience I have found my passion and rediscovered my musicality," Carree said.
