Donnie is a very souful vocalist who expresses his social views in music, the way Curtis Mayfeild or Marvin Gaye would or you could even hear the powerful sound of Wattstax in his songs the message is very diverse and political..
From his first album The Colored Section people were introduced to Cloud 9 and Rocketship which are both very good songs even the Quetin Harris remixes will make you dance for a longtime..This album The Daily News is the continuation of The Colored Section which expresses content on over counter drug culture, suicide, job searching, and freedom. Almost like going through a Newspaper but hearing it musically..It should be a musical cause it gives you all type of sounds gospally almost..
Impatient People - A very funkey feel introduction with a simple message to blows peoples mind..
911- A melodic song that catches the signigance of the meaning but broken down to unity..
Over-The-Counter Culture featuring Phonte from Little Brother - This song is dope and the truth, should be the next video really...Phonte spoke for all Pharmacists out there.
Classifieds - By the title people should catch on to what this song is about yet another song that displays the truth a song everyone can relate to...
Suicide - this song could be definatly be for the deep house heads..The song is very danceable and deep to a dark content..hmm gotta love it tho thiis one is on my to list...
If I Were You - There are two versions of this song, One very mellow and the other being the first single to introduce Donnie's new album. I like the message here but will people get it??? This song has been mixed in the air.It might take time tho...
Robot - To be honest this song is not for me...
Atlanta Child Murders - The intro to this song sets the mood for the content and the message will blow you away..like I said once again the truth...
For Christ Sake - Gospaldelic like Raphel Saadiq!!! Love the music to this..
Mason Dixon Line - Very deep content, the music sets the mood in this journey...
China Doll - The production makes me mad cause everything asian titled song seems to have this melody to it...
The Daily News - is the conclusion and the truth to The Daily News experience.
Overall I like this album, real soulful, real lyrics and content, nhot alot of albums like this and its refreshing to hear somthing left feild from all the other soul albums you hear today..cop it!!
