āWhen it comes to music I love, I donāt really get wrapped up in boundaries or genres.Ā I thought we were gonna stop with the collaborations withĀ Bettie James, and then I was like man, thereās so much music out there that I love, so many artists that I love, and I just wasnāt done,ā Allen says of Bettie James Gold Edition. āThereās some Pop, thereās some Rock, thereās some Country, thereās some R&B. I got a chance to work with legends! When I was writing some of the songs, I was trying to picture each moment. I went to each artist to work with them so they could be who they are on the song and bring their greatness to the song ā I feel like thatās what makes the songs better. Iām super proud of the body of work of this album and canāt wait for people to hear it.ā
Bettie James Gold EditionĀ is a continued homage to Allenās late father, James Allen, and late grandmother, Bettie Snead, who passed away in September 2019 and February 2014 respectively.
