A soulful R&B album shaped by loss, reflection, and jazz-infused storytelling
Actor, director, Juilliard-trained artist, and recording artist Shedrack Anderson III returns with Let It Fall, a soulful R&B third studio album that blends jazz-influenced textures, cinematic production, and emotionally driven storytelling. The project unfolds as a late-night listening experience centered on release, reflection, and emotional reset.
Listeners can stream the album Let It Fall on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Pandora, Deezer, and other major platforms.
From the opening track, Let It Fall moves with restraint and intention—balancing intimacy, heartbreak, solitude, and clarity through smooth R&B foundations shaped by jazz phrasing and atmospheric production. Rather than chasing traditional structure, Anderson leans into space, allowing melodies to breathe and emotions to sit longer than expected.
Across 10 tracks including “Let It Fall,” “Night Drive,” “Midnight Moan,” and “If Loving You Is Right,” the album plays less like a collection of singles and more like a continuous emotional arc. Jazz influence appears not only in instrumentation but in feel—fluid pacing, expressive phrasing, and a willingness to let silence carry weight.
At the heart of the project is a philosophy of surrender and emotional release.
“The emotional core of Let It Fall is just to surrender,” Anderson said. “It’s about learning to release what no longer serves you—whether that’s grief, expectations, relationships, or old versions of yourself. Sometimes healing begins the moment we stop resisting life and allow it to unfold naturally.”
That perspective is rooted in lived experience. The album was shaped during a period of reflection following the loss of his father, a moment that deepened his emotional awareness and shifted his creative approach. Instead of focusing on perfection, Anderson prioritized honesty—allowing each track to reflect a different emotional state without overworking its edges.
Sonically, Let It Fall marks a refined evolution from earlier projects Hamilton Park and Enigmology, which leaned more into experimentation and identity exploration. Here, the focus is clarity. The jazz influence becomes more present and structural, shaping the pacing and emotional movement of the music rather than sitting as a surface texture.
That cinematic instinct isn’t new for Anderson. Long before this album cycle, he built a career in film and television, including early roles in Hook and Fat Albert, along with appearances in series such as Boston Public and Disney’s Phil of the Future. Alumni of The Juilliard School, his background in theatre, dance, and music continues to inform how he builds emotional arcs across all creative mediums.
“Music allows me to tell my own story in a way acting doesn’t always reach,” he said. “It’s direct. It’s personal.”
Ultimately, Let It Fall stands as a soulful R&B meditation on release—an album that resists urgency and instead lives inside the process of letting go. Through jazz-tinged arrangements and emotionally transparent songwriting, Anderson creates a space where reflection becomes the experience itself.
