HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Californer -- Singer-songwriter Carl Brister is set to release his aesthetic reinterpretation of Lionel Richie's beloved classic "Hello" on June 20, 2026, with a pre-release date of June 1, 2026. The single will be available on all major streaming platforms through Brister's independent label, Agape MusicWorks.
Brister's "Hello" reimagines the 1984 Lionel Richie masterpiece, blending soft rock/yacht soul, R&B, and piano-driven orchestral textures into a new recording that feels beautifully nostalgic and powerfully fresh.
"Hello" is executive produced by Carl Brister and co-produced alongside acclaimed guitarist and co-arranger Ricky Persaud, Jr. At its core, this new recording highlights the depth of their creative partnership and musical constructive collaboration in studio. Persaud's signature guitar work adds warmth and texture as it blends with Brister's poignant vocals creating a track that is emotive, layered, and beautifully cinematic.
