about "SEPTEMBUH"

A longtime EWF acolyte, David seized the opportunity to celebrate the unofficial holiday “Earth, Wind and Fire Day” on the 21st of September, 2023 by creating a quick remix of the element’s evergreen hit “September”. (link here to find out more about the holiday) As David said in the video’s bio section on YouTube “Just a fun cover choon in tribute to one of my favorite bands E Dubya Eff. Enjoy! I wanted to Caribbean-ize it a little without sacrificing the essence of the original. Had a blast doing it! Hope listeners do the same as they hear it!” SEPTEMBUH is a free release on YouTube.

about "TIME & OPPORTUNITY"

What if news of news of Freedom Day/ Juneteenth never came? David P. and longtime musical friend from Barbados, David “Batto” Batson, now based in Youngstown Ohio decided to answer the question. Back in late 2022, the two songwriter/producers got to trading files over Facebook messenger and before long TIME AND OPPORTUNITY was born. “The track seemed to speak of a rebellious sprit and the lyrics wrote themselves once I heard Batto’s instrumental, which we called the FIRESTARTER RIDDIM. I added some guitar along with the vocals and we were good to go. Between us we agreed Juneteenth seemed like a great day to release it, given the topic. We hope folks enjoy it and are thoughtful about the cost it took for Black folks to have our freedom today.” TIME AND OPPORTUNITY is a free release on YouTube and Soundcloud.

about "FEELGOOD"

An invocation for safe passage out of the pandemic, to times when we can all be together again. “FeelGood” is David’s composition, showcasing the eclectic use of Caribbean rhythms and melodies that are his trademark. The track also features the uniquely lush co-lead vocals of Maritri Garrett and the stirring saxophone and horn arrangements of the amazing V. Jeffrey Smith, David's friends in the Soulfolk Experience. “FeelGood” is available for primary release on Bandcamp.com and as well as available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

about "love come thru"

A love song to all in the pandemic, David's new single is a simple outpouring of joy to all who need it at this time. Originally composed in a different, rougher form for his younger brother to sing at the Crop-Over Festival (Carnival) in Barbados in 2019, it remained unresolved until the need suddenly took hold and it finished itself. David says "Sometimes you write a song and you don't know whether you'll actually complete it, much less release it. This song took it’s own sweet time. Then boom! But it's worth it. Just wanted to have some fun. How long has it been since we've been able to do that?" “Love Come Thru” is available for primary release on Bandcamp.com and as well as available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
