New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Missing Piece Group) Don't Hesitate, Raul Midón's upcoming album, is a musical and personal milestone for the soulful and virtuosic multi-instrumentalist. Despite being blind since birth, Midón took control of every aspect of the album's recording process. The artist cut all of the tracks in his home studio, playing most of the instruments himself and handling all of the project's technical elements on his own, utilizing special computer software that enabled him to engineer the sessions. The result is a vibrant and compelling album that clearly reflects Midón's unique musical character. Don't Hesitate will be released on
September 30th via Mack Avenue's Artistry
Music imprint.
Although Midón handles most of Don't Hesitate's vocals and instruments himself, some notable guest artists stepped up to contribute to the album. In addition to his collaboration with Bill Withers, Midón also duets with world-class vocalists
Dianne Reeves and
Lizz Wright on "Make It Better" and "Keep Holding On," respectively.
A smoothly expressive singer, an emotionally insightful song-writer and an exciting, innovative acoustic guitarist, Midón maintains an expansive musical vision that's led People magazine to call him "an eclectic adventurist" and Huffington Post to dub him "a free man beyond category," while The New York Times described him as "a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus." The forthcoming 14-song album finds his infectious, personally-charged songcraft as sharp and soulful as ever, manifesting an organic blend of R&B, jazz and Latin elements that accentuate the lyrical and melodic resonance of such memorable new tunes as "Libertad," "Was It Ever Really Love," "God's Dream" and the rousing title track, as well as an inventive reboot of The Who's classic-rock standard "I Can See for Miles."
Don't Hesitate promises to be an adventurous collection of songs from a unique talent expressing the ideas and sounds that come to him naturally. As Midón writes, "I'm just singing and playing and trying to be as honest as I can be. For me, the best recordings capture moments of real life, and that's what I'm trying to do."
