Chicago, IL – Lee England, Jr., the Soul Violinist returns to the spotlight with a new single “Beyond.” The sonic celebration Produced, Arranged, Recorded, and Performed by Lee himself recalls R&B, House and contemporary African music, and was inspired by a personal breakthrough that led him to rediscover his ‘inner light.’
“Beyond” is a soulful symphony in 4:44 seconds. Joining Lee on the track is Tanzanian Poet Gynah with words penned by Eric 1Key from Rwanda. Fans of the violin virtuoso can stream “Beyond” starting today at their favorite music streaming service. Linktr.ee/leeenglandjr
“With open eyes, an open heart and a clear mind, I can confidently say that I found the light I was so fervently searching for. BEYOND is the sonic celebration. A catalyst used to support people in 4 minutes and 44 seconds which took me years to realize. I hope that this song liberates those who travel this path from seeking the light as if it’s anything other than something already in them. The music however, has an even more intentional goal.
Too often the narrative we see creates division between melanated people in America and melanated people in Africa. Music is a powerful tool that I utilize to combine our voices in one uplifting, soul stirring and healing gesture. Gathering singers and poets from across the water to showcase our beautiful connections beyond the conventions and pictures that have been painted to keep us divided. “Beyond” speaks to the eternal within us all and asks us to remember who we were in order to be who we can and will be for one another in the near future.” – Lee England, Jr., The Soul Violinist
