Maurice Brown's "The Mood" due out March 10 2017 (Mobetta Music/Ropeadope), Brown has released his latest single “Destination Hope,” featuring singer Chris Turner and spoken word poet J. IVY. It’s a jazzy, soul-infused number with straight hip-hop beats that will keep your head swaying even after the track ends.
“Destination Hope represents a place of encouragement & inclusion in place of resentment & division, a place where there is no racism or discrimination. A place where people have respect for one another, their communities and the environment. It’s very easy to get caught up in the negativity & that leads to hopelessness. In these trying times, I sought to create a mood that would uplift people and give them a sense of hope. The destination is in the journey to get there; to actively & compassionately stand up for something better for ourselves & future generations is to cultivate hope.” - Maurice Brown

“The winter holiday is season has always been special to me, the time makes me think of family and giving. It brings memories of singing Christmas songs at an early age, and now I sing them with my own children,” explains Chris. “I was born on Christmas, and I always used to crave the gifts galore. Now as a father….I just crave the love and joy of togetherness and the season. And what better way to get love, then to give love. So this is a remake of one of my musical idols, Donny Hathaway, and it is from my heart to you. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the spirit of the season and share it with others. Let’s spread the holiday love and good will to all.” - Chris Turner
