"The goal of these songs is to get people to realize that they have a destiny. But in order to find it, we have to take a look at our life and deal with the issues in our past. Then we can take hold of the future," Pierce declares.

Pierce has forged new alliances and found new creative mentors to help him shape the bold sound unveiled on FOR YOU. Among the producers Pierce brought on board this time around are Brian Rawling (Cher, Whitney Houston, Enrique Iglesias, Rod Stewart); Billy Mann (Jessica Simpson, Kelly Rowland, Hall & Oates); and country music recording artist Paul Brandt.

"They taught me that I can influence and infuse culture subtly, to make the most impact," Pierce notes of the new team. "And that's what this record deals with." The result is a sound Pierce describes as a "different kind of international-meets-Miamimeets- New York-meets-L.A. -- and maybe a bit of Nashville thrown in. I wanted it to feel different."

Indeed it does. First single "You're Still The Love Of My Life," co-written by pop superstar Michael Bolton and producer Mann, bears Pierce's trademark emphatic vocal performance, but its Latin strings and electronic flourishes are altogether something different. Soul-stirring uptempo numbers like "Serendipity," "Life, Love & Happiness," and the Sting-penned "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot" offer some lyric meat along with the pop grooves: urging listeners to examine their lives, take stock of their relationships, and go for their dreams, the message is nonetheless delivered with an infectious dance beat and pulsing pop groove.

An accomplished songwriter in his own right, Pierce also wrote three tracks on For You, including the vivacious "Go In Peace" and the powerful ballad "Run To You." In keeping with the album's relational theme, Pierce's compositions were inspired by those he calls his personal heroes: his wife of nine years, Denise; his mother, who is battling cancer; his friends, and his church home.
