after selling millions of records and earning grammy nominations for his hits, i wish, summer rain, emotional, our next guest put everything on hold to escape the pain after losing his brother, platinum selling r&b artist carl thomas is out with a new album, filled with inspiration called conquer, thanks for coming in man good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> i love the album cover i think the cover alone will sell you a million copies even without anyone hearing the music >> it was a fun photo shoot. >> i am sure it was tell us a little bit -- it has been a minute now since you had an album out last one was a big hit 2007 tell us about this one. >> well, conquer is a collection of songs that i had a great time going in the studio and doing i had a chance to work with some of the most

talented producers, in the music business, my friend mike city, mr. mario wynans. the list goes on. as i mentioned you in the out set there, most artists, don't take the kind of break that you took, obviously you had tragedy strike your family can you tell us about your brother and what happened. >> first of all i have to thank the previous project, so much better for actually putting me in this place to be here with conquer but in 2004 my family was stricken with an or deal my oldest brother was shot and murdered and you know, i had a little experience watching other people deal with the process of grief and for some reason, people would be hit with certain things and i would see them back at work the next week and i never really understood that and it would always cause problems for them

later on. so, you know it was definitely a process that i had to go through, and i had to learn how to love the music business again you know i never fell out of love with music but the actual business itself, i felt i needed a breather, it is very important to me, that i can look at myself in the mirror every day and like what i see, so i really needed to be able to do that. >> and you actually, -- i think in -- i read somewhere you went on this journey of recovery,. >> yeah, you know i traveled a bit, me and my friends joke about it all the time, you know i became a couch crasher, you know, i went over to europe and kind of hung out with friends and you know, i sought refuge and you know, in just being away being away from it all and you know, it really did me good

i do a lot of things well let me tell you but i believe, leaving your hand print on life is about doing your best work and music is my best work. >> is the name of the album conquer does that have something to do with the fact that you have conquered. that is funny the title track conquer is actually, relationship based, i did the song because i wanted to encourage, people, to just relax and allow love to do what it does, or do what it is supposed to do and try to encourage people to not fight in areas where they need not do it but the beautiful thing about doing music is that people are going to look at it and take what they need from it, not necessarily what they hear but what they need. >> every person. >> we are very happy you are here. carl is going to perform for us, in just a little bit so stick around for that going to do the new single don't kiss me

conquer in stores now you can download it stay with us carl will be back in a few moments alison. >> tony thank you so much. it is a first for o magazine you know oprah's monthly magazine, for the first time a man will be gracing the cover, with oprah, and we happen to have him with us this morning dr. oz, joining us live from new york, good morning how did i know it would be you. >> well, you are very kind alison it was a great honor she called me over the summer i was startled she said i decided to have a man on the cover and i want it to be you. the best part of all was the shoot where you got to spend the whole time talking do you like the yellow sweater the guys gave me a hard time but women seemed to like it. >> i like it very much is it green underneath? i like it it is cheerful and i think it is smart and i think very you. >> well, thank you alison i appreciate it. >> now the thing about the magazine is that i guess oprah decided it is my magazine it is for you know the people with

follow me i will have -- who follow me i will have myself on it but she rarely has anyone else on it it is a nice honor. >> well, it was great to have her invite me and i got to say part of the reason she puts herself on the cover people who get the magazine want to know what she thinks about hours she interviewed me for hours after the shoot and wrote i think probably the best interview i have given anybody she asked all the right questions she is so good at teasing people. i read it and gave it to my kids to read i think it is a good example how you talk to some body and by the way -- go ahead. >> i was just going to say you talk about how to lead good healthy lives but get personal in it as well. oprah did that i now understand. >> yeah, she is good at that. she takes you into a comfortable place because you trust her she is trustworthy and she asks the ones you should be asking yourself you want to answer them as best you

can. i returned the favour i gave you a 28 day plan i think will be valuable for a lot of folks i start off first day of the plan, green tea i will tell you why it is the number one source of the biggest anti ox dents in it a lot of folks don't like it and the interview with oprah was about transforming yourself and trying new things i want to challenge people right now there are dozens of flavours of green tea, give yourself a chance and try the different flavours. >> we will do that and watch your show, rachel ray, jane fonda and on thursday, you are talking about a new flu strain. you look good in that yellow sweater, on the cover of january o magazine. >> stick around carl thomas will perform when we come back
