Henry also releases his new song “Don’t Forget” today, an electrifying introduction to his highly-anticipated 11-track collection release, which tackles the subjects of love, breakups, social consciousness, injustices and emotional drainage. “Time means nothing without change, so don’t waste it. Hate is fear that is not tamed so we keep trying, we keep trying everyday”, says Henry in the song. However, through his signature “future soul” sound and elastic beats, Henry overarchingly instills hope for the future on “Don’t Forget,” reminding listeners “Please don’t forget what you’re living for and please don’t forget what you’re fighting for.” 

‘Something To Say’ has already been making headlines with standout singles “Rise” and “Happy Days.” On “Rise,” which was named a Top Tune by KCRW Henry delivers a powerful and unifying song written to inspire people in every country to come together and rise to make a better world. On “Happy Days,” the bouncy debut single from the album, Henry beckons the listener “if you want my love just say,” promising brighter days ahead. This follows Henry’s 2018 debut with the Funk Apostles: Adam Agati, Guitar; TaRon Lockett, Percussion; Nick Semrad, Keyboard; Sharay Reed, Bass. The album, ‘Art Of Love,’ was praised by the New York Times and Billboard, and it brought the band to an incredible NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

Above all, with ‘Something To Say,’ Cory Henry made music to fulfill him, and he’s hoping to spread that message to the world. “I feel good because all of the songs came together and they mean something to me,” he humbly advises, “so I hope they mean something to other people.”
