Lloyd Teaches ‘Lessons in Love’ in Our L.A. Studio

It's no secret that ladies love Atlanta-based crooner Lloyd. And why wouldn't they? The 22-year-old exudes charm and southern hospitality, and on his new album, 'Lessons in Love,' the singer makes the transition from teen heartthrob to a semi-grown and sexy R&B singer. Lloyd manages to satisfy both worlds with the hit single 'Girls Around the World,' featuring Lil Wayne, and 'How We Do It (Around My Way),' featuring Ludacris, while smooth, sexy tracks like 'Year of the Lover' and 'I Can Change Your Life' show off the singer's new adult sound.

"I hope to bring clarity between sex and love. Sometimes it gets misinterpreted and love is always in the air in Lloyd's world, but we like to practice safe loving, and we just want people to know the difference," Lloyd said in an exclusive interview. "There's a lot of people out there who may be younger than me who listen to my music and there's some people that's older who have it misconstrued. It's almost like a re-education of what love is, actually, and I just hope to educate as well as entertain."
