Singled Out: DeScribe's Pure Soul (Feat Matisyahu)

DeScribe has just released his brand new single "Pure Soul" (which features Matisyahu). To celebrate the single's release we asked him to tell us all about it and the message he hopes it will spread:

I chose the song "Pure Soul" as my first single because it focuses on the positive. The lyrics encourage worldwide acceptance, and re-affirms my belief that music is meant to bring people together. "Every single person in this world is a gem. Gotta Love your brother no need to condemn."

My inspiration for this song actually came through my work with the non-profit organization, The Friendship Circle, which benefits special needs children. "Pure Soul" celebrates these children and helps them to move forward.

Musically, I wanted the beat to get people moving. Pure Soul is a combination of hip-hop, reggae, and R&B. My favorite part is the thumping "Heyyyyy..Oh,Oh", which even I can't get out of my head! From there, I decided to incorporate Matisyahu to add a bit more flavor, and I love the end result. "Pure Soul" has a universal message that everyone can relate to.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album and DeScribe's incredible biography right here!
