GRAMMY, Soul Train and 8x Image Award-nominated Soul Singer MAJOR. aka "Mr. Why I Love You" closed out 2023, with a bang with the releases of his latest gem, "JOY IN THE BATTLE," lifted from his recently released EP "THE HOPE OF MY SOUL", (dedicated to Love, Hope, and Mental Wellness).

As 2024, ushers in, MAJOR. releases the visuals to his anthem of Hope, "JOY IN THE BATTLE." The powerful-message themed visuals were directed by Marcus Pitt for Synergy Media Entertainment. MAJOR. is American SOUL! "This video represents an intersection of my southern roots. From message to sound… 2024, is the year of JOY!," shares MAJOR.

MAJOR. is breaking new ground in Americana while infusing his distinct Southern Soul roots into the genre. "JOY IN THE BATTLE", was written and produced by Joaquin Bynum (Roc Nation). "_"In this crazy season and time: we’re all fighting for something better - but that doesn’t mean our JOY won’t carry us through to the other side. “Joy In The Battle" is my new hope anthem for the world to keep our hearts and eyes set on getting there!", mentions MAJOR.

"THE HOPE OF MY SOUL," was written while in the depths of the pandemic, during a time when many battled challenges with mental health. MAJOR. was inspired by a poignant text message from the late Chadwick Boseman. This message prompted the charge for him to be more intentional about amplifying HOPE in Love, Life, & Future.

Between 2020-2022, MAJOR. married his Mrs. Why I Love You (covered by People Magazine), launched the MAJOR.HOPE Foundation, and released a powerful spoken meditative album series titled MAJOR.HOPE Motivations & Pep Talks which champions the charge for culture to prioritize mental and physical well being.

As we navigate through the new year, we ask that you continue to embrace “The Hope Of My Soul” understanding the intention, vibe, and purpose of this timeless music! The EP, includes production from notable culture-contributors; Harmony "H Money" Samuels, Teddy P. and Joaquin Bynum. Other highlight songs from, "The Hope of My Soul," EP. are "Joy In The Battle", "Baby Will You Love Me", and the powerful, "I Prayed for You," (a favorite of John Legend).
