Here are a few we received from our readers: With most of our exclusive interviews, we make it a point to reach out to our Facebook and Twitter followers for questions. You constantly reinvent yourself, you constantly push yourself, and you constantly try to prove yourself. What is it that you’re talking about, why is your music so great? Why is this song so special? Why are you so special? And time and time again it’s about having to reiterate that to people over and over again no matter how successful you are or how many records you’ve sold. You know, it exist but you have to prove it to people. Believing in things that you can feel, but that other people can’t see. So, a lot of it is really about just believing in stuff you can’t see. I think crazy is what normal people call genius anyway. Lloyd: I’ve learned that there is a very thin line between genius and crazy and you can’t be afraid to have people call you crazy, if you are trying to do something that’s a bit ingenious. Have there been any significant lessons that stand out during your time in the industry? Also, really, anyone who ever really influenced me growing up ‘cause I‘m the biggest fan of music – first and foremost. I always had a lot of respect and admiration for him. He was one of the most knowledgeable people that I have met, when I first met him when I was a kid. Barry Gordy, he really had an infinite passion for anything that was just beautiful in the form of black artistic expression. Gerald Brunsby, who used to be the head of Motown. Lloyd: Dallas Austin for his versatility. Who have been your musical inspirations, people you look up to? Kelly, Patty LaBelle, B.O.B, Lil Weezy, just to name a few. So far I have collaborated with Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, R. Lloyd: I’m still working, still recording so I don’t know everything that will be on the album I actually haven’t put the album all the way together. What are some other features on the album, what other producers are you working with? It also just comes from, kinda like an ode to all the hearts all over the world that could use a little bit of love. You feel like there ain’t nothing you can’t do. You really put it on her and that feeling that comes after that. Lloyd: It comes from the confidence that you feel after a really great night of sex with the girl who you with and you put it down like nobody else can put it down. How did you come up with the concept and title for the new album “King of Hearts” ? It’s just much more efficient and effective. It’s just that I’m way more efficient in the way that I record my music. I think that with age comes not only knowledge but just access to information. Lloyd: A lot more self assured and a lot more clever than I used to be. What is the biggest difference between the Lloyd we met on the first album and the Lloyd on “King Of Hearts”? So I was given the pleasant opportunity to chat it up with Lloyd and discuss his entry into the business, his musical inspirations, Lil Wayne and Young Money, maintaining financial freedom, and much more. But, it’s been a second since we’ve experienced Lloyd by himself. And as one of the industry’s youngest vets, the 25 yr old singer has been featured on numerous hits. His renewal of self is evident in his attitude and talent. With a new album out, the “King Of Hearts” singer is determined to make good music no matter how long the process took. He even made my heart flutter after singing me my own personal song. It was on that phone conversation that I knew Lloyd was definitely smooth when it came to the ladies. Lloyd, aka Young Goldie, is back and got hearts pumping.
