Prepare to be enthralled as J Brown steps into the limelight, emerging as a torchbearer of timeless musical values, eager to join the ranks of the illustrious names that have captivated The Motor City.

J Brown’s captivating musical odyssey traces its origins back to the church, where his unbridled passion for music was nurtured through heartfelt performances with the choir every Sunday morning. Drawing inspiration from iconic figures like Usher, Jay-Z, Jimi Hendrix, Nas, and Sting, these masterful artists skillfully shaped J. Brown’s musical tastes. While his connection to the Motown legacy flows through his mother, who once graced the Motown label with her talent, and unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of her dreams ignited the fire within him to embark on his remarkable musical journey.

While pursuing his studies on a prestigious full academic scholarship at Grambling State University, J Brown seized an opportunity that would forever change his destiny. Placing a bold advertisement on Facebook led him to cross paths with two individuals who would become instrumental in transforming his long-awaited solo debut into a resounding reality. Although he briefly ventured into the world of Universal Republic Records in 2010, yielding two modestly successful singles such as “Imma Love You Right” and “Sex On My Money” featuring Gucci Mane, J Brown ultimately found himself back in the heart of Detroit, tirelessly refining his craft.

Undeterred by setbacks, he honed his skills, hoping for another chance to unveil his extraordinary musical prowess. A decade later, J Brown triumphantly returned to the forefront with his debut single, “Sunrise Sunset,” ascending to an impressive #10 position on the prestigious Billboard Charts. His subsequent releases, including chart-topping sensations like “Give It To You,” “Moon,” and “Vibe,” solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

The album featured the mesmerizing hit single “Don’t Rush,” a collaboration with multi-platinum artist Tank, which soared to an impressive #7 position on the R&B Billboard chart. This infectious track, alongside the Radio sensation “Baby I Can,” continues to captivate listeners, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts and minds.

As the anticipation mounts, J Brown eagerly sets his sights on the imminent release of his second album, “The Art of Making Love,” scheduled to enrapture audiences worldwide on July 28th, 2023.

While creating “The Art Of Making Love,” J. Brown embarked on a collaborative journey with revered talents such as Carvin Haggins, formally of DJ Jazzy Jeff’s company A Touch Of Jazz, a two-time Grammy Award winner, and his exceptional writing team, The Ring, and Grammy Award-winning producer Camper. Together, they meticulously crafted an album that promises to captivate global audiences. The very title of the album embodies J. Brown’s profound belief that making love transcends mere physicality, emphasizing the significance of connecting with a person’s mind, cherishing the bond with one’s spouse or significant other, and celebrating love in its myriad forms throughout every waking moment. Each song on this extraordinary album has been masterfully composed to reflect this deeply resonant sentiment, ensuring a soulstirring experience for every listener fortunate enough to partake in its melodic embrace.

J Brown’s musical style combines R&B, pop, and 90s influences, resulting in a refreshing fusion. His upcoming debut album brings forth a sound that resonates with the classic R&B era, evoking nostalgia.

prevails, J Brown strives to provide music with a moral foundation, leaving a lasting impact that transcends fleeting trends. His goal is for every race of people to recognize his music as not only good but enduring, rekindling the spirit of true love and meaningful connections and bringing back a long-forgotten time when all genres of music were played on any station as long as it was great music.

When Called By God – “YAHUAH (The Most High God) wants me to tell you that once you learn who you are – the descendants of the tribe of Jacob, Hebrew Israelites, the true people of Israel – you can receive His covenant and be raised once more to take your place as God’s anointed people.”

A CLARION CALL To YAHUAH’S Chosen People: “YAHUAH (The Most High God) wants me to tell you that once you learn who you are (People of Color) – the descendants of the tribe of Jacob, Hebrew Israelites, the true people of Israel – you can receive His covenant and be raised once more to take your place as God’s anointed people.”

When Called By God: Who Are The Most High, YAHUAH’S Chosen People

In a world grappling with spiritual uncertainty and a crisis of identity, Patrick Andrew Kelly’s groundbreaking memoir, “When Called By God,” emerges as a beacon of hope and controversy. This raw, unflinching account of Kelly’s journey from a traumatic childhood to divine purpose is set to challenge long-held beliefs and ignite passionate discussions within Christian circles and beyond.

Kelly’s narrative is not just a personal testimony; it’s a clarion call to believers to rediscover their true identity and embrace a higher calling. Through vivid recollections of prophetic dreams, divine encounters, and painful revelations, Kelly presents a radical reinterpretation of Christian heritage bound to shake traditional doctrine’s foundations.

At the heart of Kelly’s message is a provocative claim: that many believers, particularly people of color, are the literal descendants of the biblical Israelites. This assertion, coupled with Kelly’s unflinching exposure of religious hypocrisy and spiritual abuse, promises to spark intense debate and soul-searching among readers.

As “When Called By God” hits bookshelves, it has the potential to revolutionize how many Christians view their faith, identity, and role in God’s grand design. Whether embraced or contested, Kelly’s memoir is poised to catalyze spiritual awakening and a touchstone for those seeking authentic connection with the divine in these tumultuous times.

The State of Dance Music

House music, a genre born in the underground clubs of Chicago in the 1980s, has come a long way. With its infectious beats, soulful melodies, and vibrant subculture, it has become a global phenomenon. Over the decades, it has transformed and branched into numerous subgenres, but its core essence remains the same. In this article, we’ll explore the state of house music today.

1. The Resilience of the Underground:

House music’s roots lie in the underground club scene, and this spirit remains alive and well. While mainstream pop music trends come and go, house music continues to thrive in the underground, with an unwavering dedication to the music and the dance floor. Underground clubs and raves provide a space for creative experimentation, pushing boundaries, and fostering a sense of community that’s unique to the genre.

2. The Proliferation of Subgenres:

House music has evolved into a diverse family of subgenres. From deep house to tech house, progressive house to acid house, each subgenre brings its own flavor and style. This diversity ensures that there’s something for every taste within the house music spectrum. It also keeps the genre fresh and innovative, as artists continue to blend and redefine these subgenres.

3. A Global Phenomenon:

House music has transcended its Chicago origins to become a global phenomenon. It has touched every corner of the world, with thriving house music scenes in cities as diverse as Ibiza, Berlin, Miami, and Johannesburg. The global reach of the genre has not only expanded its fan base but also enriched it with diverse cultural influences.

4. Influence on Mainstream Pop:

House music has had a significant influence on mainstream pop music. Elements of house, such as four-on-the-floor beats and soulful vocal arrangements, can be heard in chart-topping hits. Artists like Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and David Guetta have seamlessly blended house elements into pop music, introducing new audiences to the genre.

5. Technological Advancements:

Advancements in music production technology have had a profound impact on house music. The genre has always been at the forefront of utilizing new tools and techniques. Today, digital audio workstations, synthesizers, and MIDI controllers enable artists to create intricate, layered sounds that push the boundaries of what’s possible in electronic music.

6. A Resurgence of Vinyl:

While technology has ushered in the digital age of music, vinyl records have experienced a resurgence within the house music community. Vinyl not only offers a nostalgic connection to the roots of the genre but also a unique sound quality that many purists appreciate. Vinyl-only sets and limited edition releases have become a hallmark of the scene.

7. Social and Cultural Movements:

House music has often been associated with social and cultural movements. It has been the soundtrack to LGBTQ+ rights, unity, and inclusivity. From the early days of Chicago’s house scene to contemporary festivals, it has celebrated diversity and acceptance, offering a space for people of all backgrounds to come together.

8. The Future of House:

The state of house music is strong, and its future looks promising. As technology continues to evolve, new subgenres will likely emerge, pushing the boundaries of what defines house music. The global connectivity of the digital age ensures that the genre will continue to transcend borders and cultures.

House music remains a vibrant and evolving genre. It continues to hold a special place in the hearts of those who have danced to its beats and embraced its culture. With its resilience, diversity, and influence on mainstream music, house music is well-positioned to keep the world dancing for years to come.
