2010 Soul Tracks.com New Artist of the Year finalist, guiltypleasures is back with its sophomore album entitled, "cautionarytales". Written, arranged, and produced by rick white, and featuring Kal-El Gross, Kia Bennett, Bléz, and Jerrica White on vocals, "cautionarytales" picks up where its successful debut album "lovestories" left off, beginning a new chapter of sensual soul. "Highly Recommended" ~ Howard Dukes (SoulTracks.com) "About Rick White and guiltypleasures: I've said this more than once on "Hybrid Jazz." There is something in the way that he writes that stands out, every time. When he gets the right interpreters of his songs to deliver the message, there's almost no equal. This songwriting is never trite, always on point, full of hope and truth - and questions begging to be answered. Blez, Jerrica White and Kia Bennett - along with Kal-El Gross - have an undeniable feel for what Rick wants us to learn. That we're all flawed but fabulous - worthy of respect in relationships that need to be nurtured. I LOVE "cautionarytales" because it makes me BELIEVE. Rick White will make you do that - and I'm grateful for his loving clarity via music. Now - it's YOUR turn! " ~Trish Hennessey (Hybrid Jazz) "guiltypleasures returns with another set of essential tunes with a consummate return in 2015.
