Dionne has now released her first full length album, Helium. And just like helium, Dionne's career is expanding. Dionne’s gift is the ability to express thoughtful themes in simple yet poetic terms. “The words and thoughts you share are very important, especially the way they are received by young people. Whether I’m 53 or 93 – writing for myself or someone else – lyrics as a priority is never going to change for me,” expressed by the songstress.
A few weeks ago we introduced Dionne to SoulTrackers with Helium's lead single, “Swim Around,” and you loved it. Now we're proud to be presenting Dionne's full album in our new SoulTracks Listening Room.
Helium features notable producers Ty Macklin (India Arie, Noel Gourdin and Erykah Badu), Maurice “MoDigga” Randolph (Raheem DeVaughn and Cheryl Pepsii Riley), Tony Ballard (CommonFolk, Rickey Smiley Show Theme), Ahmed Sirour (Eric Roberson and DJ Spinna) and David P. Stevens (Frank McComb, Gerald Albright and Carol Riddick). Musicians featured on this album include: King Robinson, Jr. (on drums), Kevin Arthur (on bass), Drew Zaremba (on saxophone), Michael Campagna (on trumpet), Alan K. Green (percussion) and Allen Cato (on guitar).
Take a listen below to this talented young singer. We think Helium will make your day rise.
