FYC: ECLIPSE BY DEEJAY YOUNG
DEEJAY YOUNG — ECLIPSE
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:
BEST R&B PROGRESSIVE ALBUM
BEST TRADITIONAL R&B SONG “DO YOU?”
R&B SONG/PERFORMANCE “WITHOUT YOU”
BEST NEW ARTIST
ECLIPSE is the latest & third all-original LP from award-winning singer/songwriter, recording artist, and performer Deejay Young. (NBC’s The Voice Season 24, HAMILTON)
The album is a futuristic blend of inspiring messages of hope & determination, in conjunction with deep grooves, synths, & vibes to make you move.
A departure from his previous release’s sound, (PRIMITIVE, 2020), ‘ECLIPSE’ isn’t afraid to take risks & blend genres, track-by-track, ensuring no song sounds exactly like the other, but keep the essence of the true Deejay Young R&B/Soul sound throughout.
"...He embodies pizazz, smooth vocals, and is the essence of a star. Young, is a natural performer whose voice puts you in a trancelike state, wondering how a person is gifted with such talent." April Montgomery - BroadwayWorld.com
"His music brings every one together, he is a true entertainer." Leon B. Crews - The Florida Sentinel
