GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter and recording artist Alvin Garrett officially releases his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Talk To Her Like This, available today on all streaming platforms.

Executive produced by Garrett, Talk To Her Like This showcases Alvin’s velvet-smooth vocals layered over rich, soul-drenched production. Known for penning hits for artists such as Joe, Kelly Rowland, Fantasia, and Ruben Studdard, Garrett turns the pen inward, crafting a deep personal body of work that celebrates emotional honesty, romantic maturity, and the art of speaking love into existence.

More than an album, Talk To Her Like This serves as a vocal journal, a safe space for men and women to embrace affection, vulnerability, and intentional communication. Each song unfolds like a handwritten letter, reflecting the experiences, lessons, and growth that shape lasting relationships.

The project follows the momentum of his Billboard-charting single “Roll Slide Roll,” which continues to climb the R&B charts and reintroduced Garrett’s Southern soul roots to a new generation of listeners.

Tracklist: 

1. All Night
2. Until You
3. Every Little Thing
4. You Give Me Life
5. Constitutional
6. When You Step Away
7. Talk To Her Like This
8. Can I Just Lay
9. Babies
10. Roll Slide Roll

Across the album’s 10 tracks, Garrett explores passion, commitment, reassurance, distance, and reconciliation, offering grown-man R&B rooted in emotional intelligence rather than ego. In an era where vulnerability in men is often underrepresented, Talk To Her Like This positions Garrett as both storyteller and cultural voice, championing love that is expressive, affirming, and intentional.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always found myself experiencing a healthy mixture of excitement and anxiety when releasing new music,” says R&B Sensation, Alvin Garrett. “This time around, I feel a sense of peace. I truly believe that this project, and the message, will inspire people in a way R&B music has done for ages. To me, R&B music has always been a surrogate voice for our deeply human experiences. I just hope that Talk To Her Like This becomes the project that people gravitate to when they need a little assistance telling someone how much they love them.”

With five studio albums and over two decades in the industry, Garrett continues to evolve while remaining grounded in the Southern soul tradition that defines his artistry.
