Dawkins & Dawkins return to the gospel music scene today with release of FROM NOW ON, their first album in 10 years.
The highly regarded duo – blood brothers Anson and Eric – took a break from performing, yet their unforgettable classics have stood the test of time. Since their eponymous debut in 1993, Dawkins & Dawkins has produced several memorable contemporary gospel hits including “Everybody Needs” Somebody,” and “I Will Rest.” They received mass attention for FOCUS, their last studio release in 1998. That record landed in the Top 200 on the Billboard chart and gleaned the hit songs “Wrapped Up,” “Praisin’ On My Mind ,” and “Need To Know.”
Fast-forwarding to today, FROM NOW ON continues Dawkins & Dawkins contemporary flow. Displaying a more mature writing and musical style, it has the classic Dawkins & Dawkins feel — signature vocal arrangements with a 21st century twist.
Dawkins & Dawkins 2.0 incorporate musical styles from an array of genres – pop, gospel, R&B and worship. “We’re raising the bar with elements that our fans are expecting to hear but also stepping into some areas that we haven’t ventured into before, i.e. pop and rock that will no doubt place us in other arenas,” said Eric.
FROM NOW ON has something for everyone, especially the exciting first single “Get Down,” which is a call to Christ. The song, speaks to the power of prayer and is wrapped around a hot beat laid with amazing vocals. “Get Down” is at home in the car, the club, or the church and epitomizes the duo’s perfectly honed skill as urban inspirational leaders and as innovators of ‘rhythm & praise.’ Other key tracks include “Pray For Me,” and “Best Man,” featuring Warryn Campbell.
FROM NOW ON is available in stores & online today.
