Vincent Bones, the 30 year-old worship leader from
Pietermaritzburg and Idols SA 2014 winner released his debut album “Shaded Soul”
today (15 May 2015). Randall Abrahams, MD for Universal Music SA says: “Vincent
is one of the most talented artists in the country today and it was a great
pleasure working with him. We are excited about releasing his album and know he
will get a fantastic response from his dedicated fan base.” “The title of the
album is significant as shading is a technique used in art to represent light
and shade by varying the colour and intensity of the medium being used. In this
case, every piece of music has been shaded with soul,” he continues. From
street kid; to Boys Town resident; to Idols SA winner. Vincent’s journey was
never easy. He struggled for years to be in the music industry. And then his
Idols win catapulted him into the limelight. He was a crowd favourite from the
beginning and with his tenacity and hunger to claim the coveted title he won
the hearts of millions of voters in what was the biggest Idols season ever.
Vincent’s first song “Let Me Love You” which was written especially for him
during the Idols competition has been receiving good rotation on South Africa’s
airwaves since December 2014 and his follow up single “My Lady” promises to
have an even bigger impact. His fans will not be disappointed with the rest of
the album which caters for a broad audience through its eclectic mix of House
music, Ballads, Hip Hop, a bit of Afrosoul and elements of Rock – all of these
bound by the common thread of being shaded with soul. “The album was inspired
by my family who are my pillars of strength, and it’s dedicated to my late
mother Dorah Bones. I wish she was here to see my dreams come true,” says Bones
who describes his musical style as influenced by “old-school R&B and
retro-soul”. “It was a great honour to work with some of the best artists,
producers, and songwriters in the music business such as Ziyon, Kwesta, Reason,
RJ Benjamin, Zubz, Jaziel Brothers, Thaso, Buks, and Ganja Beatz. I also
collaborated with fellow newcomers Tresor and Zw(A)rt. This is my debut album
but it is going to lay the foundation for many more to come; it marks the
beginning of many great things in the future and I firmly believe it will
succeed”, says Vincent. “Shaded Soul” is a diverse album that is both soulful
and sentimental; with Vincent sharing stories through lyrical content that will
relate to everyone who has fallen in love before. The music will leave you
tapping your feet and melodies will be easy to remember.
