Love Music: How do you stay creative and disciplined while balancing personal life and music?

Travelling around the world, working on cruise ships, has been one of the most  amazing experiences in my life so far, and also meeting people from all walks of life.

Darrell Kelley - How Dare You Ignore Their Cries?

A Song That Won’t Look Away: Darrell Kelley’s ‘How Dare You Ignore Their Cries?’ Demands Accountability

Darrell Kelley’s single, “How Dare You Ignore Their Cries?”, arrives with a title that reads less like a hook and more like an ultimatum. Released via Viral Records, the track continues the Boston-born, Atlanta-based artist’s public-facing mission: using music as advocacy rather than escape. 

Kelley positions the song as a response to “ongoing public outrage” surrounding the Epstein Files, framing the central issue as a gap between the harm done to victims and the accountability delivered afterward. The track is engineered to confront: it aims its spotlight upward—toward systems, gatekeepers, and bystanders—rather than treating trauma as mere atmosphere.

Kelley’s broader artistic identity helps explain why a topical, morally direct single makes sense here. He is a performer and songwriter whose work is rooted in advocacy. That framing matters because “How Dare You Ignore Their Cries?” isn’t presented as observational storytelling; it’s positioned as a demand for witness—an insistence that victims’ stories “deserve to be fully heard.” 

If Kelley’s stated aim is not just to release songs but to start conversations, this single’s early visibility makes it one of his most pointed bids yet: a piece that treats R&B as a vehicle for pressure, remembrance, and moral refusal.

Artist: Darrell Kelley

Release: How Dare You Ignore Their Cries?

Genre: Hip Hop/R&B

Interview with Mike Smooth2D

Love Music: You started your musical journey in the church in South Carolina. How did those early gospel influences shape your voice and artistic identity today?

It taught me vocal range and how to express my feelings through words .

Love Music: As a core member of 2Deep Inc., you helped define a regional RnB sound. What were some of the most important lessons you learned during that era?

I would listen to the other guys and try to be as good as some of them were so I guess you could say I took a piece of each of them .

Love Music: Your debut single “Gucci Coochi” ft. Breez has been gaining attention—what inspired the concept and vibe behind this track?

Gucci Coochi is when you have a woman that you're dating or seeing from time to time and she has a way of making you feel alive when you guys are together physically (Wink 😉😜).

Love Music: The title itself is bold and eye-catching. What message or feeling do you want listeners to take away when they hear “Gucci Coochi”?

When people hear Gucci I want them to celebrate each other's time together.

Love Music: As your debut release, how does “Gucci Coochi” represent you as an artist and set the tone for what’s to come?

My debut release of  Gucci hopefully gets the fans ready to enjoy RnB music again like it did back in the day when you couldn't wait to see that special person, the anticipation of Love Making or Straight Sexy Time .

Love Music: Your album “Lesson’s Love Taught Me” sounds deeply personal. What life experiences inspired the themes behind this project?

On my album Lesson's Love Taught Me it dabbles in some of my life's relationships most were bad I would say but some were good like the one I have now 😀

Love Music: What do you want listeners to learn or feel after listening to the album from start to finish?

I want the listens to take a good look at their relationships and just know that things will get better life goes on and if you're lucky enough you'll find that special someone.

Love Music: Looking ahead, what are your biggest goals as an artist, and what legacy do you hope to leave in the RnB scene?

My biggest goal is to put out classic music I want my music to touch someone out there that may or may not go through something in life so I guess you could say I'd hope to leave behind something people will love for generations to come.

Love Music: After years of group success, what inspired you to step into the spotlight as a solo artist at this stage of your career?

I never really thought about being a solo artist its just an opportunity presented itself so I was like ok why not ???And At this stage of my career this being my first solo project I just wanna put out great material as an adult urban contemporary artist and see how people vibe with me as an artist.

Love Music: Your music blends soulful roots with modern RnB. How do you strike that balance while keeping your sound authentic and fresh?

Lmbo I use young up and coming producers on my project the younger producers have great ideas and new sounds but I find myself always telling hey I gotta keep it rooted in Real RnB 🔥

Chasing Rainbows | Julian Tcherassi

Julian Tcherassi is a singer/songwriter who’s been playing guitar (classical, flamenco, rock) and composing for 18 years, and you can hear every mile of that journey in his new track “Chasing Rainbows.” His influences don’t just “show up” in the song—they collide in the best way, forming this rare blend of classical fingerstyle precision, flamenco strumming, guitar solos, and vocals delivered with authentic intensity. He’s also the founder of MagikTea, a healthy Palo Azul tea brand now in 1,000+ stores nationwide, which makes his story even wilder: this is a builder who already proved he can turn a dream into reality, and now he’s bringing that same energy to music.

https://open.spotify.com/track/2x44PdbAE7VLc4IIwugQgT

“Chasing Rainbows” is honestly unlike anything I’ve heard in a long time. It doesn’t sit politely inside one genre or chase whatever’s trending—it feels handcrafted, fearless, and alive. The guitar work is the first thing that grabs you: Julian plays with a level of control and aggression that’s rare, switching from delicate, intricate melodies to explosive flamenco strumming without losing clarity. It’s the kind of playing that makes you rewind a section just to figure out what he just played and enjoy it over and over again. Then the vocals hit—powerful, raw, and emotional—like the song isn’t being performed, it’s being confessed.

What makes the track special is how much motion it carries. It surges, it breathes, it builds; it has urgency. The message lands hard because the music embodies it: chase your dreams no matter what, because tomorrow isn’t promised, so you might as well give it everything today. You can feel that philosophy in every choice, from the rhythmic drive to the dramatic lift of the arrangement—passion and discipline in the same breath.

If “Chasing Rainbows” is your first introduction to Julian Tcherassi, it won’t be your last. This is the sound of someone who has lived the leap, paid the price, and came back with something to say—and he says it with a unique guitar & voice combination that is completely his own.
