DMo! [2022] - Also Known As [Antares Entertainment] (Full Album)


D Maurice has rebranded himself as DMo! (a childhood nickname) and his first release under his new moniker is "Also Known As" released on 21 Sep 2022. At that time it was only available either from his website or via Bandcamp (and posted from Bandcamp last Friday) but it has now landed on thee main DSPs  (28 Sep).

He was born in Chicago, and raised in Harvey, IL, and is now based in Atlanta, GA. He has been immersed in music since before he sang his first solo at church at 10 years old and states that his musical influences are Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Commissioned and The Winans. He has spent the last 17 years supporting other artist such as Eric Roberson. In 2016 he released an album "Mosaic" and as far as i can tell has released only one single, "Winter Girl" since in March 2020.

Presumably the lead single will be "FriendZone" featuring Moonchild's Amber Navran as he has uploaded a video for it on his YouTube channel on Monday (19 Sep).

There are other guest appearances on the album from Eric Roberson (of course) but also Sy Smith, Nndi and brayla.

A few highlights include "DYFTSW" (Do You Feel The Same Way) which features Sy Smith which seems to be another 'borrowing' from S.O.S. Band's "Tell Me You If Still Care" (1983). Another cover of Creative Source/EWF "Can't Hide Love".
