Dr. John E. Bell Releases Sophomore Album
Musician, singer, author, doctor, father. Is there anything
Dr. John E. Bell can’t do? This surgical podiatrist by day, turned R&B-soul
singer by night is continuing to broaden his horizons, this time preparing the
release of his sophomore record, Dating
Again. Serving as the follow up to his 2011 debut, Soul to Soul, this latest foray into the R&B scene sees Dr.
Bell taking impressive musical risks while delivering relatable, honest songs
chock-full of emotion and passion.
Dr. Bell’s deep roots in music began at a young age,
starting with participating in the church choir and eventually performing in
talent shows as a teenager. Dramatically influenced by some of the most iconic
soul and R&B singers of all time, he drew from legends such as Al Green,
Luther Vandross, Prince, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gay, Stevie Wonder and many
more while guiding himself throughout a musical journey. As if fulfilling his
own destiny, Bell started penning his own songs professionally in 2008 and
recorded his first four-song EP the following year at Young Ave Studios in
Memphis, Tennessee.

After finally experiencing the thrill of cutting his first
record, an inspired and enthusiastic Bell hit the studio again in 2009 to
record his debut full-length, Soul to
Soul at the iconic Royal Studios in Memphis, founded by the late Willie
Mitchell (producer for Al Green). The release quickly launched a series of
performances including dates at the famous Levitt-Shell Theater and Daisy
Theater, as well as a pair of overseas shows in London and Amsterdam.
Determined to top himself once again, Bell released his
follow-up record Dating Again in
summer 2012, featuring the smash single “All I Want,” which has reached the #4
position on college radio charts. A professional music video also hit YouTube
in August, quickly racking up nearly 20,000 views in just a couple months’
time. With silky smooth beats and Bell’s near perfect vocal tone, each of the
ten tracks weaves a thoughtful, memorable story filled with love, positivity
and faith.
More tracks from Dating
Again are slated to hit college and internet radio channels shortly, and
fans should keep their eyes peeled for upcoming performances in Memphis as well
as out of town dates in Dallas and Nashville. Both albums are available for
purchase via iTunes, CD Baby and Bell’s official website, which also features
streaming audio and a number of music videos for his previous singles. Whether
you’re a fan of the classic Motown artists or modern urban soul, Dr. John E.
Bell is the next artist to add to your playlist.
