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.
This October, Hip-hop inna yardie style (old school fusion between reggae and hip-hop) collective L’Entourloop are set to rock UK stages, with shows in Liverpool, London & Bristol. Their Bristol date at The Trinity Center and their first London date at Village Underground are already SOLD OUT, leading to a second London date being added to deal with the high demand that L’Entourloop’s unforgettable shows create.
The dates will see L’entourloop hitting higher than ever as they perform tracks from their huge back catalogue, as well as their latest 20 track album “La clarté dans la confusion” (“Clarity in Confusion”).
Produced in their now legendary Bandulu Studio, the new album is a result of a patient production process, carried out with care and passion. Throughout the album, L’Entourloop testifies in its own way via a puzzle of film samples, of this strange period that we have just gone through collectively, using all its savoir faire when it comes to make the people dance.
Since 1964, when the song “My Boy Lollipop” flooded the European radio airwaves, L’Entourloop’s love for reggae and its culture has never stopped growing. With this third album, they wanted to pay tribute to the legendary pioneers of this incredible movement – artists and producers such as Tom Wong, Count Machuki, Prince Buster and Lee “Scratch” Perry. An album which is a true declaration of love for soundsystem culture and its children – reggae, dancehall and hip-hop.
The success of their previous albums “Chickens in Your Town” (2015) and “Le Savoir Faire” (2017), with their famous “Banging Hip-Hop Inna Yardie Style” quickly brought L’Entourloop into the spotlight, along with their hundreds of shows performed all over Europe. The mysterious collective continues to bring together an ever-growing audience around the world, as proved by their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.
True lovers of vinyl and old cinema, in their perpetual quest for the ultimate sample, the insatiable diggers kept their fans waiting by first dropping the excellent DJ-Mix “Start From Scratch” in the summer of 2021, followed by a series of 3 official remixes, including the Reunion Island anthem “Li Sem”.
Another striking characteristic of L’Entourloop is the great ability of King James and Sir Johnny to gather incredible guests from around the world. Whether with Skarra Mucci and their now classic “Dreader Than Dread” or their excellent EP “Golden Nuggets” (2019), Capleton for the extravagant remix of “Burn Dem Down”, producer Panda Dub they collaborated with on “Le Bonheur” or French singer Biga Ranx for their hit “Push The Limits”, L’Entourloop has the gift of giving birth to collaborations that mark the spirits.
With no less than 32 guests from all over the world, MCs fling lyrics like guns like in a western movie and the new album is no exception!
On the reggae side, Jamaican legends such as Ken Boothe and Bounty Killer meet new generation stars such as Alborosie, Kabaka Pyramid, Queen Omega and Marcus Gad. On the hip-hop side Chali 2Na from legendary US group Jurassic 5, Swedish MC Promoe from Looptroop Rockers, US rapper Rêverie, the excellent JuJu Rogers, French beatmaker Degiheugi and the irresistible South African female rapper Dope St Jude all make appearances.
The UK vibe can also be felt with features from jungle and dancehall pioneers General Levy and Tippa Irie as well as heavyweights of the grime scene Flowdan, Lady Chann and Killa P. Fellow French artists are also in the spotlight with guests such as Big Red, O.B.F and Manudigital. To complete this amazing cast, L’Entourloop has once again called on the incomparable Troy Berkley from Bermuda and the talented trumpeter N’Zeng, formerly of Le Peuple de l’Herbe, to accompany the collective on the road alongwith a new addition – excellent Dutch rapper BlabberMouf, who has just joined the killer new live show.
