Through the pandemic driven 2020 and the explosive political climate in 2021, Darrell responds with yet another track and uses music to express his and the entire country’s feelings at the moment
History is proof that music has played an important part throughout the political and cultural upheavals in the United States of America. The Women’s Movement, Free Speech Movement, the Gay Liberation Movement and the Civil Rights Movement have all had some great influential music that have ignited tensions among the people.
In 2021, we have Darrell Kelley writing songs to drive change with his tracks like “Kamala” and “Vote Him Out”. In May 2020 he dropped “Police Brutality”, a song dedicated to George Floyd and his family that calls for justice and change. The singer-songwriter is based in Atlanta and blends pop, R&B and Gospel to create messages of positivity that plainly address and question social injustices.
The musician dropped “Vote Him Out”, a gospel and spoken-word inspired track that exposes President Trump’s constant lying and implores people to vote him out of office on November 3rd. The artist is known for chronicling black history while also combatting social injustice in his music.
There wasn’t a lot of good news to report on in 2020, whether in reference to music, politics, or just the status of world culture overall, but sifting through the darkness to find a little bit of light on the other side is precisely what makes this man’s song craft so easy to get into. His new single “Kamala” is doing a good job of spotlighting one of the more significant and positive events to happen in 2020.
Kelley’s singles in 2020 hit on most every social point transpiring in the past year. In 2021, he isn’t letting the momentum behind his career go to waste, and he’s rightly kicking off the mid-winter season with a new single in “Kamala” that, as its name
would imply, comes in response to the election of the first woman of colour to serve as Vice President of the United States.
