Deeclef releases debut album
Recording artiste Deeclef says that a lot of work went into his debut EP, titled Agape, which was released today via Shyheim Entertainment.
“A lot of brainstorming was done to bring both picture and mood of the album across. There were a series of photos that were reviewed and considered to reach this goal. Furthermore, to provide the air of love and a sensual feel, the team put their heads, hands and hearts together to make the dream come alive,” said Deeclef.
He explained the meaning behind the album’s title.
“The album is called Agape because of the Greek origin of the word, where it speaks in respect to the undiluted love that God has for His people. However, a sensual twist was put to this, which would manifest itself as being undiluted as well. But this love is that unconditional love that I have to offer all women,” he said.
He continued, “Chivalry has been said to be dead, but that I believe that is a lie. Good gestures are still done, and it’s not only sex that a man has to offer to a woman. Even in recent times, there has been a lot of violence against women. What all women should be receiving is unconditional love that I have, which I believed, without a doubt, will be embraced by the music industry worldwide at this time.”
Now residing in Grand Rapids in the US state of Michigan, Deeclef, given name Wayan Frazer, is originally from Barnstaple, Manchester. He attended Victor Dixon High School before migrating to the US in 2016. His passion for music started while he was in the seventh grade. It wasn’t until he was older that he began to take it seriously.
The artiste describes his music as a fusion of reggae and dancehall with an international mix, and says he hopes to inspire others with his music.
