Soulful house music has a huge, growing scene in South Africa. Recognizing this, New York's Soul Town Records is pleased to be introducing Devotion, the debut album from South African deep house producer Millitone. The Galeshewe townsman&rsquo;s love for house music was born as an escape from his daily struggles. In anticipation of the album a sampler of three songs has been prepped. &ldquo;Taking Me Higher,&rdquo; &ldquo;Do Your Thang,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Come Closer,&rdquo; each feature soulful vocalists over groove-filled, moving blends of African and deep house elements. Ivan Fywus, a talented South African vocalist most prominently featured on the album, is joined by John Palm for a soulful duet of gospel proportions on &ldquo;Taking Me Higher.&rdquo; The backing sounds are made up of well placed hand percussion, sweet strings, and pulsing pads with cutting synth squeals as the lead in more tense moments. &ldquo;Do Your Thang&rdquo; featuring Leggo is a call to the dance floor with claps propelling the way over chugging stabs and some playful give-and-take sub interactions. NYC&rsquo;s Italian vocalist import Georgia Cee is no stranger to house music collaborations, having worked with some of the best. She really shines with &ldquo;Come Closer,&rdquo; a stripped back drum track with sparse, seductive pads and a sultry horn section. With soulful house music like this there&rsquo;s really not much more to be said, all that's left is for it to be felt. Millitone&rsquo;s release on Soul Town Records is sure to move people in this way.
