WILL DOWNING DEBUTS AT 22 ON BILLBOARD'S TOP 200 ALBUM CHART WITH CLASSIQUE.
Legendary singer Will Downing debuted at 22 on Billboard's Top 200 with his 14th Classique (Peak Records). The album also debuted at 3 on the R&B charts just following Eminem and Black Eyed Peas. Classique sold 20,026 units in its first week of release and marks his highest chart debut on Billboard's top 200.
The stellar debut is a triumphant encore presentation following the challenges Downing faced creating his Peak debut, After Tonight (recorded while battling the muscle disorder Polymyositis). Back in top form, Downing's sensitive touch is felt throughout the project - singing, writing, arranging and producing, the latter mostly in collaboration with his dear friend and much-in-demand ace Rex Rideout.
Classique is quintessential Will Downing from start to finish,a quiet but emphatic statement on the strength and confidence this Brooklyn native has garnered as he celebrates his 20th anniversary as The Prince of Sophisticated Soul, a career in which the man and his artistry have been recognized for excellence from NARAS to the NAACP.
Will Downing is currently on tour promoting Classique.
