Rob
Thomas is the award-winning singer-songwriter
best known for being frontman of alternative rock
band Matchbox Twenty. Born Robert Kelly Thomas
in Landstuhl, Germany, on a US military base,
Thomas was raised in both South Carolina and Florida.
He declared his intent to be a musician at the
age of 13 after seeing Genesis on their Invisible
Touch Tour.
Between
Matchbox Twenty, his solo work, and his various
collaborations with iconic artists like Santana
and Mick Jagger, his tally now stands at more
than 80 million albums sold worldwide.
The
latest magical collection of Thomas-crafted inspiration
is his second solo album, Cradlesong. The new
album follows his 2005 multiplatinum solo debut,
...Something To Be, which made history as the
first album by a male artist from a rock or pop
group to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 since
the chart was launched 50 years earlier. The album
earned a pair of Grammy nominations and spawned
a string of hit singles, including the smash 'Lonely
No More' which was #1 in 15 countries. cradlesong,
with Matt Serletic again in the producer's chair,
was forged in a creatively charged atmosphere.
The result is a percussive rock record that pulses
with passion and energy and portrays a world he
views with boundless optimism.
Despite
the occasionally discouraging lyric, Thomas infuses
that hopeful spirit into cradlesong. 'I'm not
a mopey person; I don't get satisfaction in heartache
and despair. With the exception of a few things
that start dark and stay dark, there's usually
a hopefulness at the end of each song,' he says.
'There has to be; it s the hopeful part that makes
you want to share them with people. It's the hopeful
part that says you found some secret in the pain
and maybe some other people will, too.'
