Donnie – The Daily News

DOMECD75

‘The Daily News’ is certainly an album that deals with contemporary issues, whether it be ‘Over-The-Counter Culture’ featuring Phonte of Little Brother or ‘Impatient People’ about the slow US government response to Hurricane Katrina.

Since his ground-breaking, much acclaimed debut ‘The Colored Section’, the Atlanta soul star returns with a powerful album that is evidence of his appreciation of a wide range of styles, including jazz, ragtime, soul, hip-hop, gospel and, of course, contemporary R&B. He is joined by some legendary musicians, including Al McKay and Larry Dunn from Earth, Wind & Fire and Bobby Watson from Rufus.

Donnie makes timeless soul music capturing the moment coupled with classic lyrics which encapsulate the mood and feelings of the time. ‘I’m an artist of today and although my song writing is classic, I want it to sound like today,’ he explains.
