JAKARTA - The legendary Philadelphia soul and R&B group, The Stylistics, has announced a list of songs and collaborators from the latest full albums that have come in almost two decades.

Of the 19 songs presented, there were big names from various genres, becoming collaborators for The Stylistics. They are Justin Hawkins, losty Wood, Shania Twain, Steve Lukather, Nathan East, Bill Champlin, to Gene Simmons.

Meanwhile, the full album, which will be released on February 21, 2025, will be titled "Falling In Love With My Girl", with the single "Yes, I Will" being released a week earlier.

In the opening single, The Stylistics involves four major collaborators, known for their musicality, namely Shania Twain (singer), Steve Lukather (guitarist Toto), Ray Parker Jr (songwriter), and Nathan East ( Fourplay bassist and Eric Total).

One of The Stylistics personnel, Airrion Love, said that the collaboration with Twain on the song was his hope for a long time.

I fell in love with Shania Twain when I first heard You're Still the One' a great song I still love. When we heard there might be an opportunity to do something with it, we said, Of course!, said Love, citing NME, Tuesday, December 24.

Twain himself cannot cover up his pride, especially "Yes, I Will" is a song he wrote himself.

I am very happy that the song I wrote, Yes, I Will, has found its place on The Stylistics album. It was very exciting. It was a special song that appeared on a special day at my house, when I gathered with several friends and musicians," said Twain.

"So I think the results are amazing and I'm really excited to share them with the rest of the world," he continued.

The upcoming new album The Stylistics is full of surprises. The reason is, they involve musicians who have a very different musical style.

Among the collaborators on the star-studded album is Hawkins, who appeared on the opening song Falling In Love With My Girl, and Ricky Wood of The Rolling Stones, Billy F. Gibbons of ZZ Top, and KISS's Gene Simmons.
