Singer Kenyon Dixon puts a modern spin on a classic R&B sound on latest release, “2000s R&B.” Channeling the decade’s dramatic visuals, the accompanying video shows the singer belting out vocals in the pouring rain for a sensual ode to his predecessors. He leans on the hood of a luxury car as rain drips from his jacket with an effortless charm.

“When you think about 2000s R&B, if rain and leather doesn’t pop in your head then it’s not 2000s R&B,” he shares. The single has a soulful beat equipped with booming bass and a subtle guitar melody. The artist’s vocals fluctuate from high to low with a calculated rhythm. Each verse bounces along with the beat describing love and heartbreak. He sings, “Said we’d be forever, ever, ever / Guess you went and found somebody better.”

Following the video’s release, the vocalist shares his highly anticipated project, The R&B You Love. With each track, he reminisces on every era of the genre while creating a sound all his own. Pulling inspiration from his upbringing, he reflects on being the child of two ministers.  “Not being able to listen to secular music, R&B was a form of rebellion. It’s the closest thing to church music, but I don’t want to do gospel. It really does feel like validated rebellion,” he continues, “R&B is really just, it’s what happens when church kids rebel.”

The 17-track album delivers both heartfelt love ballads and upbeat serenades. His vocals are smooth and expressive with a hint of nostalgia. Kenyon Dixon builds on the fundamental concepts of R&B’s past while rejuvenating its sound for the future.

I am a digital marketer and publicist with a passion for A&R and music management. Originally from Southern California, I spent many years as a transplant in the Midwest in the St. Louis and Chicago areas. Now I am back in sunny Los Angeles. Besides my professional life, I enjoy music of all genres with a sweet spot for hip-hop/rap. I love my west coast rap and all things Tupac, Kendrick, Nipsey, etc. I am always down to go to a show, whether the venue be the smallest hole in the wall or the largest arena.
