Patrick Stump on R&B

Patrick Stump, ex-vocalist of Fall Out Boy, in a recent interview talks about his upcoming album, and we can read this:

How would you characterize your solo record?

It’s really hard to describe. It’s easier to say what it’s not. It’s definitely not a rock record. It has some elements of … my dad was a folk singer, and so I think there’s always gonna be an inherent folkiness to the lyrics, not necessarily in any other way. There’s a lot of R&B, there’s a lot of funkiness to it. I would definitely characterize it as at least some kind of outsider folk music.

Looks like Patrick is changing styles, and didn't fit into the 'rock guy' stereotype. You can read the whole interview here
