Albert Cummings - Queen Of Mean + Hold On [Singles From Album Believe] (2020)

“‘Queen of Mean’ was inspired by people that were in my life that weren’t particularly nice to me. I put the song together to answer the call of the way they made me feel, which is why you should never make a songwriter angry,” Cummings jokes, “It’s not actually an angry song at all. It’s just a way to poke fun at the situation. Everyone has come across a ‘Queen of Mean’ in their life!”

The upcoming album, Believe, features a flavorful mix of blues, country, and rock n’ roll, creating a crossbred of genres. Cummings takes this release to new heights with the help of GRAMMY Award-winning producer Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana). Together, they drew inspiration from the rich recording legacy of Muscle Shoals and created a timeless album full of rhythm, funk, and soul through the use of powerful backup singers, steady grooves, a dynamic brass section, and mesmerizing guitar riffs.
