Transition (The Film)

140 Comments

The CDs are in! The countdown is on! Thank you all for listening and riding with me:

Since the feedback from the first album presentation was so strong, I’ve decided to present the album again on November 4th at The Times Center in Manhattan. Even more exciting, I’m also compiling a documentary-style film about the inspiration behind and the making of TRANSITION. These songs are special because of the circumstances. Sharing the story will offer a lens into my mind and heart as I was writing them.

    What’s good Ryan,

    Lovin’ what i own from the album so far, been bangin’ each track out here in Switzerland like crazy at pretty much every gig…lol…

    Heard snippets of the rest of the material on Amazon and in my opinion it’s definitely better than the first album, you can hear the growth!

    Don’t know when it’ll hit shelves out here, but i’m definitely buyin’ the album and will continue to support the NextSelection movement to the fullest!

    Congratulations on a new milestone in your career!

    Nice work R-Les! Building a collection (which I hope to eventually pass on to my kids…to let them know what good music sounded like in my day!) and you sure make a big part of it! Any plans of releasing a clear version of “Gibberish” ? I can actually make out some of the words and get an idea what it’s about but can’t quite make out the whole song. Keep up the good work – hope to catch up with you soon. Peace and Love. God bless you.

Ryan Leslie has a richness to his creativity which make it more enjoyable to listen/watch/etc…As Ryan Leslie produces music he get better every time…scary thing is, Ryan is not even in his prime yet…Which is good…Ryan Leslie is going to grow into something big…but we take it one day at a time at cherish this moment now….

    Hey Ryan Leslie,
    I’m from New York and i am currently a Junior at SUNY New Paltz. I was wondering if you’ll ever perform here next year. We always have performs every spring and it would be awesome if you could come perform. I am a biggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg fan.

    sup Ryan Yo as always the new album rocks man love that Zodiac joint i think you out did your self on this album man it’s that feel good music man for real

  134. 134 Jack Peterson said at 2:35 pm on December 12th, 2009:

    RLes good album i’ll admit, but I expected more! I believe you are one of the most passionate musicians out there in the world today and have so much respect for you. But this album is not as good as your self titled album. I was expecting song’s with the same energy as Addiction (your best song in my opinion) and How It Was Supposed to Be. Make more songs like those please! In this album every song is about the same thing, how much you love and are obsessed with this girl and how she completes you. Where’s the variety? Try singing about some other subjects. I have high hopes for you! haha

  135. 135 Carl Brown said at 3:07 am on December 16th, 2009:

    Hi Ryan, I loved the track called “Ice Cold” how come in didn’t feature on your latest album. What a track that is. What made you not select on your latest album. You are today’s “Prince”, and you seem to have a million and one ideas musically. Please keep going, but don’t ever drop the Soul and Funk vibe from your music.

    “This album is a collection of songs inspired by a summer of secret love, where in the end I chose you, and you chose the life you had before me!”
