Keite Young: Hidden Beach's... Hidden Treasure

Say you have Sam Cooke, Prince, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and D’Angelo sitting around trying to combine their styles… What if those elements were added together and became the soul of Keite Young? Ladies and gentlemen meet Hidden Beach’s new soul wonder. A native of Ft. Worth, TX and former member of Kirk Franklin’s NU Nation Camp, Keite has been into music for years. In his debut album, “The rise and fall of Keite Young” Keite takes your body, mind and soul on a musiquarium like you have never heard before. From the head rocking tune “thinkuboutmi” , and the rock infused “hey joy”, to the two gospel inspired “pray” and “E.N.S. (everybody needs somebody)”, along with the funky jam “pressure” and the electrifying neo-soul masterpiece “u got it”- Hidden Beach delivers an effort that ascends the scales of music to reach truly glorious heights. Keite Young will soon wear the crown of Neo-Soul King. His first single “if we where alone” ft. N’dambi is a seed planter that explores the unadulterated joy of lovemaking anytime and anywhere. Listening to the opening verse on the Jill Scott Collaborations, “If we were alone/ I would show you what it was I’m feeling. sugar/ we could make love on the ceiling…” I almost lost my breath. I feel as though this soul star will be around for many years to come. Remember to check out “The Rise and Fall of Keite Young” in stores now.
