Don Grant, a Jamaican composer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer of Caribbean Island Music, continues to create music that touches audiences and unites people from all over the world. Don’s ability to incorporate diverse influences into one cohesive piece is a testament to his artistry. His recent releases have earned him a place among a new generation of Independent Artists in his genre. Don Grant’s latest digital release, “My One and Only Love,” is a very special romantic Island Folk song finely crafted with influences of Bossa Nova, Jazz, and R&B. Don’s lyrics are passionate, heartfelt, and well-delivered vocally with beautiful melodies and a catchy chorus. As we listen closely, we can hear the reggae shuffle of the Hammond organ that keeps whispering like a gentle wind. The haunting counter melody on the analog synthesizer evokes passion and emotion, while the string and horn sections provide punctuated accentuations on the syncopated breaks. The base and drum grooves make you want to move, while that catchy chorus line is just right for singing along. It really stays with you. Another great track definitely worth checking out!
