Sad Smiles Happy Blues Ft. BJ The Voice by Kyle Devine published on 2015-09-14T10:56:44Z Written by Brandon Foster Produced by Kyle Devine Vocals - BJ The Voice Piano - PJ Tabron Lead Guitar - Zak Austin Organ/Guitars - Rey Holliday Photo by Kyle Devine Artwork design: Duane A Lawrence I sought to recreate the musical aesthetic from the civil rights era with a modern vocal to show the parallels between our past and present realities. In 1980, Stevie Wonder released a song honoring Dr. King called, “Happy Birthday.” My hope is that this song, much like Stevie’s, resonates with you so much that you want to use it to help remind people that we need to change as a society. The internet is the greatest tool we have to promote a positive message world wide. “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. “ - Martin Luther King, Jr. Words From BJ I’m a part of the generation that is fed up with white supremacy. It’s real, as well as white privilege. This song is a rage and pain reaction to 549 years of oppression. I’m an awakened sheep that refuses to settle for the flock’s condition.
