Y’all know I don’t just jump on anything. I’ve built my name brick by brick, note by note. But now and then, something-or—or someone—comes along that makes you stop and say: “Oh yeah… this is it.” That someone is Star Redd.
When music mogul Tony Mercedes brought her to my attention, I heard one note and knew immediately: this girl ain't no fluke. She’s the real deal—raw, passionate, powerful—and bringing something fresh to this Southern Soul thing we love. The way she sings? It’s like fire wrapped in velvet.
So, I’m proud to announce officially: Sir Charles Jones and Star Redd are coming together for a collaboration that’s gonna shake the game up. And we ain’t coming alone—we got her brother, the country soul powerhouse Jarvis Redd, riding with us. That’s right—Southern Soul meets Country Soul meets royalty.
We’re dropping a new single this Monday, May 12th, called “Lick Back ”—and trust me, it hits hard. The single was produced by my nephew, 350Beats, and written by Jarvis Redd and me. It’s sultry, it’s grown, it’s Southern Soul evolved. And the visuals we’re cooking up? Man… y’all ain’t ready.
Tony Mercedes—yeah, that Tony Mercedes—he’s behind it all. He’s got the Midas touch, from TLC’s “No Scrubs” to Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” and now he’s pouring that genius into Star Redd. And let me tell you something: she’s not just the future—she’s the now.
This collaboration is more than a record. It’s a moment. It's legacy linking with the next wave. It’s Southern Soul stepping into a brand new chapter. And I’m honored to be part of it.
So to all my fans, my family, and lovers of good soul music: get ready. We’re about to take it there.
