When Cody ChesnuTT released his debut album, "The Headphone Masterpiece," in 2002, he quickly went from unknown to a leader of that era's neo-soul movement.
Among his fans were the Roots, who teamed with ChesnuTT to turn one of his songs into "The Seed 2.0," which remains one of the hip-hop group's biggest hits.
Seemingly on his way to stardom, ChesnuTT pulled back.
During the last 10 years, he released a few songs and an EP, but mostly stayed out of sight.
Now, he's back with a new album, "Landing on a Hundred," a slice of classic gospel-influenced soul that was recorded in the studio where Al Green and Ike & Tina Turner once worked.
