| ?uestlove Producing Al Green Album ?uestlove of The Roots has revealed that he will be serving as the main producer on the forthcoming album from legendary soul singer Al Green.
According to the Philly-bred beatmaker, who spoke to Billboard recently, the album has been in making for two years and should be wrapped up by September.
?uest divulged that he has a very specific sound in mind for the album but he has met some resistance from the overseers of the project who feel Green should collaborate with today's artists to appeal to a younger audience.
"If it were up to me and it was absolutely totalitarianism, I would live all my derivative fantasies out on this record," he explained. "It would be 1974 all over again, sonically. I think they're still getting used to that."
I'm trying to get them out of that mode," he continued. "It'll be a struggle but I think at the end of the day it will be a quality record."
The album, which will be released via Blue Note Records, will be Green's thirty seventh CD, including his greatest hits compilations.
