With his silky smooth, straight-from-the-heart soulful style, Howard Hewett is gifted with one of the most instantly recognizable voices in contemporary music: with the 2007 release of his Groove Records' debut IF ONLY, his loyal worldwide audiences will be reminded of just why Howard Hewett has endured, sustained and maintained a solid career as a solo artist for over two decades.
IF ONLY also represents a reunion of sorts for Howard who serves as executive producer on the album with Ralph Johnson, one of the founding members of Supergroup Earth, Wind & Fire. Howard's many fans will be thrilled that he's taken his time to release a new album, with such standout tracks as "Enough" which is already top 20 charter and climbing.
