Christian rapper D Major has just dropped his powerful new single ‘Eagles’ a transformative track that seamlessly weaves personal experiences, biblical inspiration, and an Afro-influenced musical style. The title, chosen to symbolize uniqueness and soaring above challenges, is a reflection of D Major’s Christian faith and his commitment to trusting in God’s plan.
Biblical Roots and Spiritual Themes:
In ‘Eagles’ D Major draws on the wisdom of Isaiah 40:31, allowing the chorus to echo the scripture’s message of trusting in God and finding strength in Him. The lyrics resonate with a contrast between the path of faith and the worldly alternatives, emphasizing the pursuit of peace through divine trust.
“I’m tryna soar like an eagle, trusting in God, not my own might and power.”
Creative Collaboration:
The creative process behind ‘Eagles’ began with inspiration from the Afro genre, particularly influenced by artist Pa Salieu. The original beat, sold and seemingly lost, faced a challenge, but D Major’s producer, Manny Sampah, not only reproduced the beat but enhanced it. Septimus Prime’s expert engineering further contributed to the song’s unique and vibrant sound.
“The instrumental for ‘Eagles’ was initially a ‘Pa Salieu Type Beat’. I searched for ‘type beats’ by this artist as he’s an artist out of many from the Afro genre that I’m influenced by.”
Authenticity and Evolution:
‘Eagles’ is a testament to D Major’s evolution as a Christian artist. Embracing transparency, he transforms personal experiences and mistakes into a relatable narrative that resonates with authenticity. The song portrays a Christian artist who acknowledges flaws, demonstrating that salvation and imperfection can coexist.
“It shows an artist and Christian that is saved and flawed simultaneously and isn’t afraid to show it because people relate to authenticity.”
Challenges and Rewards:
The journey of creating ‘Eagles’ was not without its challenges, from the sale of the original beat to the complexities of producing a music video. However, each challenge presented an opportunity for reward, shaping the song into a testament of perseverance and dedication.
“From the original beat being sold and no longer being available, I thought ‘Eagles’ would be scrapped as a single. However, I had my producer not only reproducing the beat but also making a better version.”
Impact on Career and Audience:
D Major remains humble about the future impact of ‘Eagles’ on his career, attributing the journey and success of the song to divine guidance. For listeners, the hope is that they connect with D Major’s story, finding inspiration and strength in the message of faith and perseverance.
“In total honesty, regarding the impact on my career I envision from releasing ‘Eagles,’ I leave that all to God. I say that not to sound cliche, but I’ll be lying if I said it wasn’t all Him that brought the song this far.”
