Coming Home

'Coming Home' was executive produced by the head Island Def Jam LA Reid and features ten songs written/co-written by Richie, in an all-star collaboration with today's most prolific contemporary hitmakers, including Jermaine Dupri, Raphael Saadiq, Dallas Austin, Sean Garrett, Chuckii Booker.

'Coming Home' is the definitive new album that Lionel Richie fans have been patiently awaiting. He has personally written three new songs for the album, 'Coming Home', 'Outta My Head', and 'I Love You', all of which were co-produced by Richie with his musical director Chuckii Booker, an accomplished songwriter and producer in his own right. Booker also collaborated with Richie as co-writer/co-producer on other tunes, 'Keep Me Up All Night', and 'Why' (the latter two co-written/co-produced with Sean Garrett).

Working with such pop crossover masters as Raphael Saadiq (who wrote and produced 'Sweet Vacation' for the album) and Jermaine Dupri (who wrote and produced 'You Are') is a natural progression for Richie, who already has one of history's most extra-ordinary track records at radio. Richie also co-wrote 'Reason To Believe' with the track's famed pro-ducer Dallas Austin of Atlanta. 'All Around the World' was co-written and co-produced by Richie with Montreal-based Quicksound.
