Jeremiah Jermaine Paul, a multifaceted artist and pastor in The United Methodist Church, is making a triumphant return to the music scene with a single “Red, White, and Blues,” set to release on July 26th, 2024, followed by the album release on September 11th, 2024. Known for his soulful voice and heartfelt performances, Jermaine`s career has been a remarkable journey, blending his passion for R&B, Soul and his dedication to ministry.
The singer`s impressive music career includes Grammy nominations in 2005 and 2006 for Best Duo R&B Performance with Alicia Keys. His talent further shone when he won NBC’s “The Voice” competition in 2012. Over the years, he has collaborated with Hip-Hop artists like Kanye West, Redman, Blam and LDJ, and has sang background on albums and shared the stage with legends such as Mary J Blige, Joss Stone, David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, and Adele. His song “Soldier’s Cry” released 2021, was even orchestrated by the iconic Quincy Jones live on worldwide television.
Dedicated to putting Rockland County, New York on the map, JP spent years crafting his own style and sound with producers such as Adam Deitch, Nick Casper, and Chris “Cinemax” Pinset. “I never understood why I needed to say it but I now understand that the world needs to hear this”, says Paul. Alongside renowned lyricist like KRS1 and Saigon, he crafted hip-hop hooks that became anthems in his neighborhood streets, vividly narrating the tough stories of his childhood in Spring Valley, NY.
Throughout the artist’s career, his brothers Charles and Martin have played pivotal roles. The Mighty Paul Brothers’ track “The Difference” served as a prelude to the acclaimed “Red, White and Blues” album. Their support has been instrumental, contributing vocals and production to Jermaine’s solo album. Furthermore, the Mighty Paul Brothers’ upcoming record “Land of Lost,” produced by Chris Pinset and set for release on August 1st, 2024, will serve as a launchpad for that album.
Jermaine`s announcement of “Red, White, and Blues” has been met with great excitement from fans and critics alike. Directed by the acclaimed Steve Jordan, with the legendary Stevie Wonder on harmonica, the album promises to make a significant impact in the music world.
The title track, “Red, White, and Blues,” is a poignant narrative about a woman, named “America”, facing emotional and financial struggles. Jeremiah’s lyrics vividly depict her pain and his empathetic yet frustrated attempts to support her:
“…The blood from her veins
The sweat from her skin
The tears from her pain
She’s crying again
Red, Red, Red
Red, white, and blues…”
These lines create powerful imagery of blood, sweat, and tears, symbolizing her suffering and the American ideals she strives for but finds elusive. Jermaine explains that the album captures “the experiences which molded me into the man I have become.” It reflects his personal journey, seamlessly blending his love for ministry and music into a compelling narrative.
“Red, White, and Blues” is more than just an album; it’s a testament to Jermaine Paul’s resilience and artistic evolution. His ability to convey deep emotions and tell powerful stories through his music ensures that this album will resonate with listeners on many levels. As he steps back into the spotlight, Jermaine`s unique blend of R&B and gospel promises to leave a lasting mark on the industry.
