Tony Hussle Not Shy to Sing About Sex

Posted by andPOP Staff on February 21st, 2006


Tony Hussle, the newest soul crooner on the airwaves, definitely has one thing on his mind.

“Sexy, Freaky, Electric” is his debut sensual EP with seven tracks to wine, dine, and seduce. The EP hit music shelves on December 20, 2005, just in time for some sultry holiday season love.

Hussle may be hailing from Plainsfield, New Jersey, but there?s nothing plain about this eclectic artist. With the sexual sound like Prince and a Jimmy Hendrix inspired look, Hussle blends rock and soul to produce a tantalizing blend of soulful funk. Hussle signed to Warner Bros. in November 2004 and has been lacing his lyrics with erotic and steamy scenarios ever since.

“It’s sexual, it’s spiritual and soulful, it’s also mad explicit. My music is all of that,” Hussle tells andPOP.

When Hussle describes his music as “soul music,” it’s literally that. Music is second nature to this soul star. Hussle was born into a musical family; his mother Deborah Pearyer was a church pianist, and his Uncle Glen Goins was a member of Parliament Funkadelic.

“My whole life has been surrounded by music. My mom gave me inspiration and my family was a huge part of my music. I’m just picking up where they left off.”

With sexual bravado and oozing libido, Hussle takes his soulful church roots to the bedroom.

Songs like “Come Again” float over a scene of early-morning love-making. “She’s a Virgin” rejoices over sexual virtue and liberation. “Special” pines over mutual attraction and with a flick of an index finger on electric guitar, lists off the unique qualities of love.

This is one artist who’s not ashamed to tell it like it is when it comes to sex. Hussle says his steamy single, “Come Again,” is a track that speaks to women everywhere.

“Orgasms are a big deal for women; it’s an issue. That’s what a female wants. Women talk about that stuff with their girlfriends, when they’re in the (hair) salons, they talk about men. I just sing about what women want,” says Hussle.

Along with artistic liberation, Hussle is getting also used to his fame and good company.

Hussle is currently on tour with Floetry for their VH1 Soul tour, which is running through to September. Other soul artists can’t stop gushing about Hussle’s sound. Raphael Saadiq compared him to Sugarfoot from the Ohio Players. He is an artist who writes his own lyrics and arranges most of his music, and plays his own instruments. His provocative lyrics are complimented by brilliant arrangements, making him a maestro in his own right.

Although he’s a new cat on the block, Hussle is ready to take America by storm, one fan at a time. He believes that his music is the beginning of another soul revolution. “I want real music to be popular. I want to go across the country and tour just like James Brown. Cats like that were always known, not because they were mainstream, but because of word of mouth,” says Hussle.

Working with artists like Floetry and others has inspired Hussle to take his music on the road in the future and make more music. “I want to compete with the other artists out there. If I have to put (an album) out there every year, I’ll try to do it,” says Hussle, who believes he’s the beginning of something big.

Hussle wants to grow as an artist slowly, not interested in quick expansion. Hussle is convinced that soul music will grow slowly in the mainstream and wants to hit the small venue circuit to give fans a closer look at what he’s all about. Soul-lovers in Philadelphia have already responded to Hussle’s love-not-war mantra.

“Philly has a lot of love. We hit the colleges and the fans were amazing,” says Hussle. “We got a lot of support and love from them. Fans loved the music there.”

This artist’s EP is definitely all of the above. This is for sure one artist who won?t tell you to get your mind into the gutter or wash your mouth with soap. Fans will have to wait for more from this artist, and see when and where his music will climax next.
