J. Poww's New Album 'I Did It My Way' Revives R&B Classics with a Modern Twist
In the heart of February, a month typically associated with romance and nostalgia, soulful crooner J. Poww is poised to make waves in the R&B scene with his fresh album release, "I Did It My Way." This album is not just another collection of covers; it's a heartfelt homage to the original tracks that defined a generation, infused with Poww's distinctive flair.
This latest project showcases a total of 10 expertly crafted covers, including renditions of timeless hits such as Babyface's "Whip Appeal," Freddie Jackson's "Rock Me Tonight," Christopher Cross's "Sailing," and Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love." By breathing new life into these classics, Poww invites both longtime fans and a new generation to appreciate the soulful essence of R&B.
J. Poww has a rich musical heritage, having previously served as the lead singer and songwriter for the R&B group U.N.V., signed to Madonna's Maverick label. The group made waves in the '90s with chart-topping hits like "Something's Goin On," establishing Poww as a formidable talent in the industry.
The driving force behind the creative success of "I Did It My Way" comes from a collaboration with notable industry figures. Grammy Award-winner Christopher Bivins, known as Buddafly Wolf, served as the album's producer, bringing experience from working with artists such as Chris Brown and Tank. Additionally, Grammy Award-winning engineer Jezreel Santos added his expertise, having collaborated with soulful artists like Kem and Gregory Porter.
The album’s first single, a cover of Babyface’s "Whip Appeal," has also received a stunning music video, directed by Derek Dollah Jones of Huxl Republic Films. The video enhances the song's romantic themes and showcases Poww's vocal prowess, establishing him as a modern contender in the R&B landscape.
"So many of us reminisce fondly about the '90s. The music from that era was the soundtrack to many of our lives, and I'm honored that UNV had a prized moment in that history," Poww reflects on the inspiration behind the album. He expresses a desire to deliver a contemporary yet respectful retake on the classics for today’s listeners.
The tracklist features not just covers but also a nostalgic nod to J. Poww's own group, including their song "Somethings Goin On Again," as well as other beloved tracks that rouse memories for R&B enthusiasts. The album is a lush tapestry that evokes fond memories while inviting younger listeners to engage with the roots of the music that shaped today’s sounds.
Buoyed by the support of the original artists, Poww has received their nod of approval for every song selected for this project. His mission transcends merely reviving old songs; it aims to educate younger audiences about the musical legacies that paved the way for contemporary R&B. "Take for instance, Babyface's recent red-carpet mishap on Grammy night, the younger generation often doesn't realize the musical legacy that was laid before them. I am honored that each original artist on my project gave me their nod of approval on each song I covered!" says Poww.
To commemorate the album, J. Poww is embarking on a robust national and international tour. Upcoming tour dates include performances with legends like Boyz II Men at the Soaring Eagle Casino Resort in Mount Pleasant, MI, and international dates in Paris and London, sharing the stage with iconic acts such as H-Town. This tour promises to be a celebration of love, music, and the rich history of R&B.

Poww also has plans for future releases, including the self-written album "SOULFUL MELODIES + BARS,” continuing to build on his already impressive musical repertoire.
