Veteran disc jockey Kevin Hylton, known as Kevin Hyll, has officially ventured into the recording artiste world with the release of his cover version of the country music hit single I Believe In You, which was originally recorded by Don Williams. Clinton Lindsay’s The Foundation Radio Network has added the song to heavy rotation and it is getting good positive feedback from listeners.
The original single was nominated for Country Music Song of the Year in 1977. It speaks of love and its heightened position over material things. A firm believer in love, this is what originally appealed to Hyll when he was looking to produce a reggae cover.
“We are so short of love in this world, not only between couples, but between families, races, countries and human beings in general. So I saw this as a prime song to give new life to in reggae form. Good music never dies, and the world needs more love pouring out of the music,” Hyll explained.
Originally, Hyll recorded the cover as a demo for another artiste. But his team at Digital One Music heard the track and encouraged him to release it as his own single. Hyll, who expects that the future is bright for his career, said that he wants persons to love music just as much as he does, and to feel the music the way it should be felt.
“I’ve always loved music and singing, but had always stuck to playing the music as a selector, and, actually, will still play music for people to enjoy. I love playing unexpected music and songs that people haven’t heard in a long time. As an artiste, expect that same direction and commitment,” Hyll added.
The visuals for I Believe In You have been posted on Hyll’s YouTube platform, and he is gearing up to release a second single, an original track on the ‘Flying Roach’ rhythm, which was produced by Digital One Productions.
