Alvin Garrett is set to release his new album This Hill June 7.

Alabama’s Alvin Garrett will release his highly-anticipated classic R&B sophomore album This Hill on June 7 at Workplay in Birmingham, Alabama.

In this new project, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter takes listeners on a beautifully crafted musical journey. Garrett infuses a dose of soul, funk and even gospel into songs like: Have A Good Time, What I’ll Do, and his breakout hit single By Myself. Garrett’s lead-off single This Hill is climbing the Billboard charts.

Powerful Album

The album features Grammy-award winner PJ Morton on the song Wait. Garrett describes his feeling about this album in one powerful statement, “Because of hope, I have the inspiration to pursue what I love at the risk of loss,” the songwriter said.

Songwriting, Neo-Vintage Soul

In addition to writing and performing, he has written chart-topping songs for R&B artists such as Joe, Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland, and American Idol winner, Ruben Studdard. Garrett is one of the founding members of the popular band, Just a Few Cats, and this neo-vintage soul singer likes to motivate fans through his music. He intimately knows the work and sacrifices it takes to turn a dream into reality. Garrett is passionate about sharing his winning attitude with others. “If you have a dream and are willing to put in the work, anything is possible,” Garrett said.

Giving Back

Garrett made a commitment to share what he has learned about the industry over the years with other musicians. He has developed a class called The Write Life which teaches the principles of songwriting and effective communication. His music then became his full-time job. “ I quit my job many years ago to do what I love, and I’ve never looked back,” Garrett said. “I love to entertain, but I’m also very passionate about inspiring, educating, and empowering others with my music platform as well,” he added.
