Despite the name, the Strangers want you to know who they are. Champ, Two, Stamp and Cutto were guest singers on Boyd Kosiyabong’s Rhythm & Boyd E1EVEN1H album. Audiences loved their romantic sound so much, they decided to enter the studio and cut their own self-titled record, which was released by P Boyd’s label LOVEis.

What is the concept of your band and this album?
Champ:
We are uniting different but similar types of music. I am R&B; Two is R&B; Stamp is electronic pop; and Cutto is pop-funk. We also have a special song, “Naow,” that was produced by P’Boyd Kosiyabong.
Cutto: The Strangers is like a club for youngbloods. We’re the first generation, but there will be more to follow. We’ll move on to other stuff, but the Strangers will stay, like a school.

What are your best memories from the studio?
Cutto:
We’re truly friends and understand each other very well, so working together was very easy. We get each other’s jokes.

How about obstacles?
Two:
For me this was the first time I produced a song, so it was sort of difficult and I had many things to learn.
Champ: Me, too. I think working with P Boyd was a real challenge because his name is synonymous with great projects.
Stamp: My main obstacle is fear. I fear that I will never have such a good time again.

How long did it take to record this album?
Cutto:
Well, it didn’t take that long time because we already had the songs written and P’Boyd just added “Naow,” which he already had ready for us.

Anything else?
Stamp:
I want to ask people to visit LOVEis’s website (www.loveisloveis.com) to tell us where would you like us to perform. If we can go, we will. And please support us for our hard work.
Two: I’m with Stamp: we want to perform as much as we can. Please visit our website and cheer us on. If we have good feedback, it will make our next album even better.
Champ: I just want to tell everyone that LOVEis is all about love and emotional songs. We tell our story through our songs. We make everything with love and we hope we will get love back.
Stamp: And even if we don’t get love back from you, we still love you.
