OUT TODAY: Dexter Moore shows love for Afrobeats and World Music in ‘Feel The Rhythm’.

Keyboardist/artist DEXTER MOORE’s new single, ‘Feel The Rhythm’ is an immediately feel-good anthem. Out today (3rd July) across various music platforms, the funk-infused instrumental arrives in time for Independence Day; a time to have pure unadulterated fun with family and friends.

With Afrobeats taking the world by storm over the recent years, Dexter wanted to pay homage to his African/African-American roots and show his love for the genre with ‘Feel The Rhythm’, by incorporating the rhythmic beats of the Motherland, with playful elements of Contemporary Jazz and World Music.

‘Feel The Rhythm’ follows, Dexter‘s 2022 single ‘Daydreaming’, which received firm support from various jazz, soul and even pop stations across the globe. The gleeful jazz instrumental was often used as background music for many radio station’s weather and travel bulletins! ‘Daydreaming’ was #1 for six consecutive weeks on CHBN Radio’s Playlist Chart in the UK and earned a spot at #14 on their Top 20 Songs of 2023.

Dexter has toured in Europe as well as throughout the USA and has been privileged to play behind some of the heavyweights in Gospel and secular music; including Yolanda Adams, Bebe Winans, CeCe Winans, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige, Miles Jaye and Teddy Pendergrass. With over 30 years’ experience performing with other artists as a sideman and accompanist, Dexter now wants to share his keyboard talents to the world as an artist. To date, Dexter has released two albums and five singles to date and has amassed close to 2,000,000 streams worldwide. 

Aside from making music in his studio or performing live onstage with the biggest stars, Dexter is first and foremost a family man, loves to do crossword puzzles and is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan.  Dexter also serves as a minister of music at his church.

Now it time to ‘Feel The Rhythm’ with Dexter Moore’s new offering, coming out from 3rd July across all good music platforms.

Upcoming Release: Hiding Away – Stephanie Sounds (ft. Rick Leon James)

East London songbird STEPHANIE SOUNDS gets geared up for the release of her forthcoming single, ‘Hiding Away’, the second offering from her well-received debut album, ‘Much Better’, released last October.

Showcasing on-point harmonies, blissfully backed by delicate guitar plucks, which gives off a rich folklore/worldly affair, ‘Hiding Away’ is definitely an anthem for anyone who’s been hurt and betrayed by close friends – but through the journey of self-healing – the experience will make you a stronger person. Bass player Rick Leon James – who has worked with musical heavyweights such as Tinie Tempah and Wretch 32 – injects a real gutsy funk to the bass line.

As well as a vocal phenomenon on stage, Stephanie is also an up and coming fashion designer

As well as providing backing vocals for some of the world’s leading artists, including Celine Dion, Will Young, Jessie J, Blur, Florence and The Machine, Kasabian, Daniel Bedingfield, Natasha Bedingfield, Lemar, Jamelia, Westlife and McFly, STEPHANIE SOUNDS is also a promising designer who has launched her label, So London Boutique 

The clothing line is gaining attention from people across the globe through blogs, social media and big stages at festivals. Her edgy and trendy designs, brought to life by African prints, are frequently requested by other artists and creatives for their events and performances.

Album Review: African Fabrics – Daniel Haaksman

African Fabrics Daniel Haaksman

Berlin-based DJ and producer DANIEL HAAKSMAN is, without question, the forerunner of  giving world music that punch of excitement and he certainly makes no exceptions in the latest album, African Fabrics.

The 11-track effort boasts the fiercest Afrobeats going with the equally fierce electronic drive –  a sweet yet explosive combination that never brings a dull moment.

It’s definitely a groundbreaker – experience (what I call) tropical house for yourself; hit that play button NOW!

Must Listens: Senbene, Kaggua, Black Coffee, Quendo
