The singer and songwriter of R 'n' B
and soul music known as Jeap Yang has released his latest LP album,
“The Yin Quest.” The record has been proudly released on the
Bravesoul Ent. independent music label without the involvement or
influence of the corporate music industry. At nearly one full hour of
listening and containing no fewer than 12 original tracks for the
music fans listening enjoyment, “The Yin Quest” is one of the
most highly textured and evocative modern soul records to appear in
many years.
Asked to list some of his main artistic
influences, Jeap Yang cites soul and R 'n' B legends such as
India.Arie, Mary J. Blige, Des'ree, and Phil Collins. Each of these
lends an attribute to Yang's own distinctive style and sound. His
“The Yin Quest” bears the soulfulness of India.Arie, the
precision of Mary J. Blige, the emotional impact of Des'ree, and a
seemingly natural flow in his songwriting which is reminiscent of
songs from Phil Collins.
Also not unlike Collins' music is
Yang's lyrical content. His songs are meticulously written and boast
insightful, often introspective themes which bring a narrative depth
beyond just romantic ballads (which ballads are of course a
traditional part of the soul and R 'n' B genres, and which Yang has
also included on his record).
Speaking of his lyrics on “The Yin
Quest,” Jeap Yang writes, “'The Yin Quest' reflects life's
journey: from insecurity to self-esteem, from grief to forgiveness,
from love-loss to finding love through faith.”
Overall, his record is uplifting and
has optimistic undertones.
“The album has an inspirational
message,” he writes of this. “We all are in search of something,
be it love, career, family, etc… We all are set on the quest to our
Yin. I hope that listeners will be inspired to see that life is
amazing, despite its ups and downs.”
“The Yin Quest” by Jeap Yang is
available online worldwide. Fans of R 'n' B and soul should get in
early.
[The following is taken directly from
the official bio of Jeap Yang.]
Jeap Yang is a citizen of the world.
Born from Portuguese parents, he developed his unique style while
growing up in the multicultural suburbs of Paris, France. In his
teenage years, he spent his time between singing gospel music and
lending his voice to hip-hop tracks. His signature vocals were
further enriched by Fado music which is such an important part of his
Portuguese heritage.
His debut album entitled "The Yin
Quest" will be released on March 10, 2015 under his own imprint
Bravesoul Entertainment. The album is a reflection of his musical
journey, drawing influences in soul, R&B, jazz, hip hop, and
world music. His inspirational lyrics chronicle his search for
happiness through stories of love, faith, fear, pain, forgiveness,
and self-awareness. We are all set on a quest to feel whole and
complete, to find the Yin to our Yang.
