Artist just released a debut track, "Dream Girl Remix," featuring Curb recording artist Larry Gordon through indie label SouthMob Records. Now available on all streaming platforms, listeners can stream the track just in time for the Valentine's Day holiday. Listen to the track HERE and view the accompanying music video HERE.
As a special Valentine's Day promotion, the label recruited TikTok sensation Genesis Jolie - who also appears in the music video for the track - to choreograph a special dance for a unique TikTok challenge. JNR Da Great will select one winner from the challenge. The winner will receive a dozen rose and chocolates from the label.
Initially written by JNR Da Great and produced by Nigerian producer Nathan Al, the remix was developed by JNR Da Great and Larry Gordon. Gordon provided additional production on the remix. The upbeat love song features the winning combination of JNR's afrobeats and Gordon's R&B grooves.
The track is about a man finding his dream girl. Upon finding the love of his life, the narrator must convince her that he has honorable intentions and that he will spend the rest of his life proving just how much he loves her. The narrator articulates his emotions with lyrics such as "Girl what's the point in waiting/ To live life without you is a crime/ For your love girl I would chase/ When it comes to you, I don't see straight."
JNR Da Great described the song's creation, explaining, "I want my music to reflect my Afropop roots blended with the urban sound from America. I am excited to work with Larry Gordon because, with the remix, he helped me fuse the two sounds to produce a track that I hope everyone will love."
In addition to "Dream Girl Remix," JNR has a forthcoming self-titled EP, due out June 2022.
