Words by Jesse Serwer—
The Bahamas are just a few hours’ boat ride from South Florida, and Bahamians have been a part of the area’s fabric going back to the early 1800s. The list of Miami-area musicians with Bahamian roots includes members of KC and the Sunshine Band (which was originally known as the Sunshine Junkanoo Band) and even Uncle Luke.
One of the newest Bahamian talents to emerge from Miami and its surrounds is R&B singer/songwriter/producer Muzik Jones Drew. The R&B singer/songwriter/producer recently released the single “Believers” in advance of his upcoming debut album, and he’s passed LargeUp the song’s video (directed by hip-hop video kingpin Rik Cordero) to premiere. Musically speaking, “Believers” is a lot more Okayplayer than LargeUp but it’s just so tight we couldn’t resist scooping our Afro-headed partner site.
Stylistically, “Believers” falls somewhere between the neo-soul territory of a Bilal and the “alt R&B” camp led by Frank Ocean, et. al. In other words, whether you’re in your mid 30s or early 20s, you’ll probably dig it just the same.
Drew delivers nothing short of soulful music and can connect with anyone who has gone thru life and its many challenges. I see big things in the future for Young Jones.
Great Lyrics, Great Vybe, Great Video! looking forward to seeing and hearing more.
Very sexy song feeling the vibe. I hope to hear more from Drew in the future. You just want him to win & I already downloaded 2 songs off of iTunes!!! Much love & success in 2013!
