Jermaine Dolly releases modern gospel single 'You'

The remarkable voice of modern gospel known as Jermaine Dolly has released his landmark new single simply titled, “You.” The track has been published on the By Any Means Necessary Music independent record label. It has been celebrated nationwide as a unique and highly stylized sound that is a refreshingly new addition to the gospel repertoire around the world. Blending elements of soul, R 'n' B, pop and gospel music with creative innovations all its own, “You” is a contemporary Christian single that has already put Jermaine Dolly on the map once and for all.

Jermaine Dolly (sometimes called “Mr. Hello Dolly”) cites as main artistic influences Donny Hathaway, Tye Tribbett, Timberland, and Daryl Coley. These do not lend themselves to an approximation of Dolly's own sound and style on “You,” however, which must be heard to be imagined.

Dolly's composition of the song allows for a great deal of space between beats, notes and instrumentation, making his vocal performance the star of the show for the largest part of the track. His singing is a characteristic falsetto that is reminiscent of Prince without sounding the least bit derivative. His vocals are arresting and undeniably fun, and his delivery of these verses is easily as striking. Once Dolly has conquered the listener and purely demonstrated what he is all about, his band comes in to fill the aforementioned space, and these top-shelf instrumentalists do so with class, with groove, and with a metric ton of soul.

No description of the Jermaine Dolly experience can be without a mention of the singer's faith, however, around which the entirety of his music revolves. Having gotten his start in music as a backup vocalist for gospel star Tye Tribbett, Dolly is likewise an outspoken Christian performer, with God being the “You” to which his single refers.

Asked to describe the theme of his new song, Dolly writes that it is “Putting God first and drawing listeners to Jesus Christ.”

Even when taking credit for writing his own music, Dolly notes that while his songs are originals penned by himself, they remain nonetheless “inspired by the Holy Spirit.”

Jermaine Dolly has performed all over the world with Tye Tribbett, including a performance for the BET'S Celebration of Gospel, and appears on Tribbett's Grammy-Award-winning album, “Greater Than.” Performing now as a solo act, Dolly continues to sell out venues all over the United States. Working now with Tribbett's “Same God” producer, Jeremy Wheatbread Boyd, some music critics have suggested that Dolly will become one of the most celebrated gospel artists of this generation.

“You” by Jermaine Dolly is available online worldwide.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The duo of bluegrass gospel music known as Diane and Mildred have released their latest music, a pair of singles titled “Someday Eternity Will Begin” and “But for the Manger,” both recorded with the GMA Band. Each of the songs is a contemporary instant classic, much like music previously released by Diane and Mildred with the GMA (Gospel Music Arts) Band. Fans of bluegrass and gospel – and especially fans of both – are certain to find a rare treasure in this traditional American music lovingly created for the glorification of the Christian God.

Diane and Mildred cite as main artistic influences such legends as Dottie Rambo, Dolly Parton, the Cox Family, Mavis Staples, Margie Sullivan, Dr. Ralph Stanley and others. They note as an aside, too, that “There are so many, we don’t have space to name them all.”

Diane and Mildred's now-famous bluegrass duet sounds have graced both radio and television as well as countless stages. Their earnest devotion to the Gospel is evident in the heartfelt timbre of their singing, which strikes the listener's ears with an untrammeled beauty and warm, friendly tone.

With the help of the GMA Band, Diane and Mildred have made it their personal mission to “actively transform communities by changing attitudes about the surprising transformational gifts of gospel music,” as is stated in their official bio.

Mildred Statzer, a multi-instrumentalist and natural-born performer, has the uncanny ability to sing harmonies at will behind any melody line sung to her. She is a veteran musician of gospel music, having performed on the road and at home for many years with the popular band, Gospel Melodies. She is an outspoken born-again believer of the Christian faith.

Diane McKoy, also a devout believer, was the co-founder of the only known bluegrass gospel band from New York City, which she started with Russell Scholl.

“She is thought of as the 'Queen of NYC Bluegrass Gospel,'” Guitarist Alan Shelton and Dr. Ralph Stanley say of McKoy. “She has carried this gospel music torch there for decades.”
