Demond - Street Tales (1997)

R&B singer Demond was signed to 550 Music/Epic Records, and recorded his debut album 'Street Tales' for them around 1997. Two singles were released from it, with 'AllIWannaDo' reaching #24 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart, and 'Ooh La La' just breaking the top 60 on the R&B chart, but neither of these charting records were enough to stop the cancellation of the album. It's a great shame, as this record has some really interesting experimentation, especially on the two longer tracks - 'Beamer' and 'Warm Embrace'. Luckily it was not completely scrapped, and so with a subtly coloured version of the cover, here is one of my favourite unreleased R&B albums from the last 25 years.
