While both reuniting him his production partner Tricky Stewart, The-Dream says the albums differ.
“Crown is more modern R&B, and Jewel will be more what you might think of as my songwriter side, the songs I might have given to other artists before,” The-Dream explains to Vibe. “If you put me in a box, Jewel is more what you get when that box is open. But I’m not limited by any box I’ve been put in — every year I’m expanding and growing, and it makes for a more interesting plot.”
To get fans excited, he has premiered the lyric video for his explicit single, “That’ My Sh**” featuring T.I., which was posted on Vevo.
