Renowned Music Producer and Musician Clive Hunt is celebrating the growing success of Richie Stephens’ hit song “Statue of a Fool,” which he produced and released a few months ago under his Iconic Azul label. The song has been capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide since its release and spent several weeks in the number one spot on the reggae charts in New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with heavy rotation still going strong.
“Statue of a Fool” is a reggae cover of the classic song by former Temptations’ vocalist David Ruffin and has found new life through Richie Stephens’ heartfelt rendition, elevated by Clive Hunt’s masterful production bringing a refreshing and modern reggae beat to the hit, yet retaining its classical and soul-stirring attributes.
In describing how the project came about, Hunt noted that he was working on a Motown project which involved reggae versions of some of the classical hits and reached out to Richie Stephens and other artistes. Stephens was the first to say that he wanted to cover “Statue of a Fool” which turned out to be lucky for him as Hunt noted several other artistes had also wanted to sing that song. The veteran Singer and legendary Producer then hit the studio with their respective teams and the rest is history
“This song is an all-time favourite of mine” says Stephens who noted that ironically a year before he had a random discussion with a friend about desiring to cover that same song, so it was as if the stars aligned a year later when Hunt reached out to him and invited him to be a part of his project. “Clive Hunt is a super duper Producer. I love his no nonsense attitude and he brings out the best in you” declares Stephens who has worked with Hunt many times previously on other projects.
Commenting on the growing success of “Statue of a Fool,” Hunt expressed that it’s always a pleasure to work with Stephens whom he asserts loves his craft and is committed to whatever project he’s doing. “The song’s timeless lyrics and Richie’s soulful delivery made it a pleasure to produce. I’m thrilled to see the positive reception it has been receiving. You know I’m probably the oldest active Music Producer around yet I love being in the studio every day and ensuring the legacy of Reggae music will continue.” Hunt surmises.
The song’s growing popularity is a testament to its universal appeal and the collaborative efforts of Richie Stephens and Clive Hunt. Fans can stream the single on their favourite streaming service or check out the music video on YouTube.
As “Statue of a Fool” continues to captivate audiences globally, Clive Hunt asserts there will continue to be more quality and rich reggae songs being released in the near future under his Iconic Azul label.
