Singer Trilla U is in the process of rebranding his musical output, promising that from here on his focus will be lover's rock, gospel and songs for children.

The artiste, who is also a member of the group LUST, said that as far as his solo career goes, his personal repretoire will not include any hardcore material.

Simultaneously working on a lover's rock and a gospel album, Trilla U is of the view that children are deprived of the right kind of music. "The lover's rock album will drop for this summer because we are trying to bring the kids to the right kind of music. Now-a-days, nuff of the songs you hear, a nuh music dem deh," he told Splash.

"Is not a joke thing," stressed Trilla U. "I am not going to call any names or throw any stones, I am just saying that the songs that are playing now are not really songs that your kids can grow up on with the right kind of values," he insisted.

The entertainer who is still mourning the loss of his 15-yerar-old daughter in September 2009, recently shot the video for his tear-jerking cover of Garth Brooks' first country love song, If Tomorrow Never Comes.

"Right now my daughter Nikieta just passed and I released a single called If Tomorrow Never Comes. It is just a song I pick that people can relate to because of the message in the song. The message is all about telling a person how you feel about them while they are alive.

"Is not that I can't write songs, but is just that I don't think I should use my daughter to get a hit song. Because right now I am still grieving," Trilla U admitted. "My heart is killing me right now, just to know that my heartbeat is not here anymore. I choose this song If Tomorrow Never Comes because the message is not about the deceased only, it's all about people how you can actually interact with one another and show that appreciation while they are alive and up and running."

Out of that sobering experience of losing his "heartbeat", the 41-year-old artiste born Eustace Adolphus Hamilton, is reaching for a deeper sense of spirituality and purpose to life.

"It's all about the loving side of Trilla U and also gospel too. It has always been something that I wanted to do and I finally get the opportunity. If you speak of the gospel perspective, I've been singing gospel songs from a long time because I originally grow up in a Christian home. My mother, my sisters and brothers, some of them are Christians. So I grew up with that kind opf background, for I've been always singing songs like My God Is Real," the singer said.
