Stinger J was a one time alias used by Detroit Producer Kevin McCord, formerly of legendary American R n B and funk band One Way. As a writer & producer Kevin has had an illustrious musical career working with Alicia Myers (ËœI Want To Thank Youâ„¢), Oliver Cheatham (ËœGet Down Saturday Nightâ„¢) and Mariah Carey (ËœMake It Happenâ„¢). Featuring the vocals of Jonathan Haywood, ËœPretty Faceâ„¢ is a melting pot of Soul, Disco, Garage and Detroit house. B Side ËœWonder Landâ„¢ pairs the vocals of Jonathan Haywood with Kevin himself, a soulful ballad with classic 80â„¢s production and live keys, strings and percussion. ËœPretty Faceâ„¢ is a unique example of an intended crossover record from a mainstream producer who soaked up the influences of his home town Detroit around the birth of House & Techno. Self released at the time on Kevinâ„¢s own Chance label, it was hard to get momentum without major label backing so the project fell by the wayside. Now officially reissued for the first time in partnership with Kevin McCord with Artwork by Bradley Pinkerton.
