Singer Vedo has teamed up with megastar Chris Brown to kick off the year with one of R&B’s biggest releases.
“Do You Mind” is the second single from the Platinum R&B singer-songwriter’s 6th studio album entitled, Mood Swings, which was released on January 13.
Produced by Spiff Sinatra (Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Cordae, Latto) and Hero the Producer (Dreamville, Tee Grizzley), the catchy upbeat record has already caught the attention of dancers who have been creating choreography to the fun and flirty track since its midnight release.
Vedo has been on an undeniable yet monumental rise over the last few years that has ultimately led to this moment. When asked about how this collaboration came about, he shares; “Do You Mind” was actually written a while ago and is just now being released. The collaboration happened because I stayed persistent. I had asked CB on separate occasions to do a verse on a song and his reply would be I don’t think it’s time.”
“His reasoning was that he didn’t want to overshadow me on the song, he wanted me to keep building a presence so that the song wouldn’t become a ‘Chris Brown’ feat Vedo record. I had to respect that,” he added.
The R&B duo are no strangers to penning hits together as Vedo shared in Chris’ recent Grammy nomination for “Warm Embrace” on Breezy. He also wrote on “Freaky Friday” and contributed to a number of hits for Usher, Ella Mai, and Ari Lennox, to name a few.
With credits under his belt like Usher and Ella Mai’s “Don’t Waste My Time,” Chris Brown’s “Warm Embrace” and his own double platinum single “You Got It,” Vedo’s contributions to the R&B Charts are undeniable. Devoted fans who have watched his career evolve from ABC’s The Voice to his viral Tiny Desk appearance with longtime mentor Usher are excited to see him claim his space in the R&B game.
As far as what to expect from Mood Swings, Vedo braces fans for a roller-coaster of emotions ranging from “Love to Passion” to “Vulnerability” and “Growth,” and more.
“This project is probably my most versatile project to date,” he said anticipating a big year ahead. “More plaques, more certifications, more Grammy nominations, and more wins”.
