Singer Carl Thomas had us all
emotional in 2000 with his hit debut single "Emotional" and the
follow-up, "I Wish." With those very big hits, he quickly became known
as the balladeer of Bad Boy.
He released his sophomore
disc in 2004 that sailed to gold status with hits like "She Is." Since
then, he's grown as a singer and a businessman and has prepped his
third album "So Much Better," released last month, in his own time and
on his own label.
This is an independent
company, distributed by Universal," Thomas said of the records backing.
"[Music business executive] Jheryl Busby gave [producer] Mike City and
me the opportunity to exercise our imprints so it's on Thom Tunes,
which is my label, slash Umbrella, slash Universal."
Thomas left the Bad Boy
label in 2005 because of creative differences, but told EUR's Lee
Bailey that putting out his latest disc on the umbrella boutique label
isn't really that different.
To me, it's the same game,
just different numbers," he explained. "The money's better. The
independent game allows you to be your own boss. Of course you share in
the responsibility of the promotion and marketing of the album, whereas
in other situations you don't, but at the same time the profit margins
are a little bit better."
