Stand for Love


Stand for Love is the twenty-first studio album by American singer Peabo Bryson. It was released on August 3, 2018, by Perspective Records, with distribution overseen by Caroline, the independent services wing of Capitol Records, his former label. Bryson's first album in a decade, it marked his debut with Perspective, the label by production duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with whom he worked on the entire album. Stand for Love was preceded by its lead single, "Love Like Yours and Mine" which reached number three on the US Adult R&B Songs chart.

Critical reception

J. Matthew Cobb from HiFi Magazine found that on Stand for Love "Bryson returns to the table and is completely updated on the contemporary R&B age we’re in, not sounding dated or ferociously young. He's somewhere smacked in the middle, crooning over 30-and-up soul and seductive urban beats Some of the tracks feel a bit safe, as if it’s trying to chase after the overrated Charlie Wilson adult-R&B blueprint. But Bryson delivers the songs with such fervor and without any sign of vocal diminishing throughout the course.
