Kenyon Dixon may be on tour, but he’s not letting that stop him from dropping new tunes. The Grammy-nominated singer has returned with his new track, “Far Away.”
Co-produced by Dixon and Frank Rose, “Far Away” is a breezy R&B tune about two lovers escaping everyday life to enjoy each other’s company.
“We can go anywhere you want / What you wanna do? / It don’t matter / Let me know / I don’t really care as long as we go together, baby,” Dixon sings.
“Far Away” is the follow-up to “Still,” another groove-inducing jam, released in May. “This record, to me, is a celebration of the timeless essence of true R&B,” Dixon told Rated R&B about “Still.”
He added, “You often hear a lot of complaints about either a lack of tempo in R&B music or the music no longer feeling like traditional R&B if it does have tempo. This one, though, has the energy and never loses the soul. [It] captures the carefree vibes of those R&B summers we remember.”
Both “Far Away” and “Still” will appear on The R&B You Love: For the ‘99 and the 2000s, the second installment of the deluxe edition of Dixon’s 2023 album, The R&B You Love You.
In the spring, Dixon released The R&B Love: Soul of the ’70s, the first installment of the deluxe edition.
“These installments of the deluxe are super intentional. I’m such a fan of the music that got us here. I always want to find a way to pay homage to our musical pioneers and heroes,” Dixon explained to Rated R&B.
As indicated above, Dixon, who celebrated his 35th birthday on July 7, is on his headlining The R&B You Love Tour with special guest Jack Freeman.
Once he concludes the tour on July 28 in Los Angeles, Dixon will join PJ Morton on his Cape Town To Cairo Tour, beginning July 31.
