The singer and songwriter known as
Ralston Calder has released his new R 'n' B single, “This Dream.”
The track has been proudly published as an independent release
without the financial or managerial support of the corporate music
industry. Evocative, sonorous, and powerfully moving, “This Dream”
by Ralston Calder is a rhythm-and-blues song fans of the sound will
want to hear all over the world.
Ralston Calder cites as main artistic
influences such titans of music as Bob Marley, Michael Jackson,
Prince, Beres Hammond and Stevie Wonder. His own style and tone on
“This Dream” have most in common with the latter two, and work as
a facile blend. His natural singing voice is not unlike Hammond's,
while his songwriting is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's more tender
moments.
Asked to describe his start in music,
Calder explains that he's “always loved it, and always enjoyed
immensely singing and writing songs.”
Regrettably, the pathos with which he
sings his new single, “This Dream,” is absolutely
unfeigned.
“This song is for those who know what it like to lose the love of their lives,” he writes. “Here I share my heartbreak and what some would say is my foolish belief that love will bring her back to me.”
“This song is for those who know what it like to lose the love of their lives,” he writes. “Here I share my heartbreak and what some would say is my foolish belief that love will bring her back to me.”
Ralston Calder was born and raised in
the parish of St. Catherine on Jamaica. He has described his music
style as a mix of R 'n' B, reggae, and hip-hop music. He has been
writing songs since he was a young man.
“In my youth,” he describes, “my
friends and I would hang out at my house, about six of us. We would
have paper and pen and would make up songs about the beautiful girls
in our neighborhood. We would sometimes have our own little contest
to see who could come up with the best song. At other times we would
combine all our ideas and perform our songs together. This was an
all-night event. My friends would ask me just what it is I am waiting
for and why don't I just do what I love.”
The encouragement was the catalyst
which has led to Calder's “This Dream” single, and to other
tracks as well.
“With a little help from my friends,
I started my journey,” he writes.
Ralston Calder now lives, writes, and
records his music in New York.
“This Dream” by Ralston Calder is
available online worldwide.
