Fans of the ethereal blend of Broadway vocal styles and neo-soul rejoice as singer-songwriter HeIsTheArtist announces the release of his newest EP, “Dreaming In Emerald City” (Wicked Deluxe Edition). Mark your calendars as this soul-stirring amalgamation of classic and modern music is set for release on the most romantic day of the year, Valentine’s Day, February 14th, 2024.
Known for his dynamic and distinctive sound, HeIsTheArtist showcases his inventive creativity in this EP, serving as a tribute to the legendary movies “The Wizard of Oz” and “West Side Story.” This collection, though, is more than mere homage; it is an exploration of empathy toward those who crave a distinct existence.
“Dreaming In Emerald City” (Wicked Deluxe Edition) begins with a cinematic cover of Judy Garland’s iconic “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows,” followed by HeIsTheArtist’s original creation “Mi Amor.” These songs not only pay tribute to the aforementioned legendary movies but also deftly introduce the EP’s central theme – empathy for those who yearn for a diverse life.
The subsequent tracks, which are covers of “Lovin’ You” by Minnie Riperton and “I Believe in You and Me” by Whitney Houston, build on this theme by emphasizing the idea of discovering true love in one’s immediate surroundings despite others’ differing perspectives. Amidst a world often overwhelmed with judgment and derision, these songs serve as a poignant reminder to cherish love in all its incarnations.
The EP also showcases the singer-songwriter’s astute understanding of modern societal norms and the pressure they exert. Through his powerful covers of “Diamonds” by Rihanna and “Brown Skin” by India.Arie, HeIsTheArtist promotes the message of self-appreciation and the need to defy established beauty standards, offering listeners an empowering reminder to wholly embrace and love their unique selves.
In a delightful twist, “Dreaming In Emerald City” (Wicked Deluxe Edition) also includes an upbeat, 80s-inspired remix of “Mi Amor,” ensuring a nostalgic trip for fans of the epoch. This vibrant nostalgia continues with the release of the latest single, “Mi Amor (City Pop Remix).”
The original EP attracted considerable attention and enjoyed immense success, with “Mi Amor” attaining the #2 spot on the UK iTunes R&B charts and “I Believe in You and Me” securing its place at #9. The Wicked Deluxe Edition, enriched with added tracks and ingenious remixes, is set to outshine its predecessor’s success.
Fans around the world eagerly wait to partake in this beautiful blend of resonating warmth and nostalgic trip. For admirers eager for more information on HeIsTheArtist, please visit www.artistecard.com/heistheartist.
