Jermaine Fleur Delivers Masterful Debut Solo Single ‘For One Day’
Jermaine Fleur, the dynamic performing artist and singer-songwriter celebrated for his energetic stage presence and irresistible pop R&B sound, has released his highly anticipated debut solo single, ‘For One Day’. Drawing inspiration from musical icons such as Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Bruno Mars, Fleur injects a fresh and exciting energy into the contemporary music landscape.
Produced by the multi-talented Tariq Pijjing, ‘For One Day’ is an upbeat, flirtatious summer anthem that perfectly blends tropical pop melodies with reggae grooves. Jermaine’s silky vocals glide over the vibrant beats, creating an irresistibly catchy vibe designed for warm nights and dance floors. The lyrics playfully propose a carefree, no-strings-attached romantic rendezvous, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the passion of the moment, if only for one incredible night.
“I wrote this song back in 2017, inspired by the first initial connection you have with someone when you realize there’s a mutual vibe,” Fleur explains. “I wanted to capture that moment and create a fun, upbeat song that makes people feel good and happy. It’s about being honest and open, and just enjoying that moment in time.”
Jermaine Fleur’s journey in the music industry has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Amsterdam, he first gained widespread recognition after his participation in X-Factor in 2009. Since then, Fleur has taken his talent to stages around the world, performing in iconic cities such as Berlin, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Cape Town, Shanghai, and Phuket. His captivating performances and magnetic stage presence have earned him a loyal international following.
Collaborating with top international songwriters and producers, Fleur has amassed millions of streams and multiple No. 1 chart-topping hits. His collaboration on the summer anthem ‘A Song’ with Heimlich reached the number one spot in Poland and topped the German DJ video chart, while ‘What I Need’ with Mika Olson claimed the number one position on the Traxsource Lounge Charts.
Released under the Dutch-based label Vokall Records, ‘For One Day’ marks Jermaine Fleur’s significant step into the spotlight as a solo artist. With his unique blend of contemporary pop and soulful R&B, Fleur is poised to make a lasting impact on the music world. As he continues to evolve as an artist, ‘For One Day’ serves as a powerful introduction to his vibrant sound and artistic vision.
Jermaine Fleur’s debut single is more than just a song; it’s an invitation to embrace joy, positivity, and the thrill of the moment. As ‘For One Day’ hits the airwaves, Fleur’s infectious energy and talent promise to captivate audiences and secure his place as a rising star in the global music scene.
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
