WHAT!!!! duo Ellis Hall and George Whitty Redefine R&B with a Bold Fusion of Classic and Contemporary Sounds
If you haven’t heard about WHAT!!!!: A New Soul Revolution, let me introduce you to a collaboration that’s absolutely electrifying. Ellis Hall—known as the Ambassador of Soul—and Grammy-winning producer and keyboardist George Whitty have come together to create something truly special.
Ellis Hall’s voice is one for the ages. His five-octave range has graced some of the most iconic groups in R&B, from Tower of Power to Earth, Wind & Fire. But what really stands out is how he brings a deep emotional connection to every note, whether he’s belting out a powerful ballad or bringing energy to an upbeat anthem. He’s a true soul pioneer who’s never afraid to push the boundaries of the genre.
Then there’s George Whitty, the Grammy-winning producer who’s worked with legends like Chaka Khan, Carlos Santana, and Herbie Hancock. His ability to blend jazz, rock, pop, and R&B is unmatched, and on WHAT!!!!, he’s taken Ellis’s classic soul sound and given it a fresh, vibrant energy. It’s a perfect balance of timeless and modern, and together they’ve created a sound that feels both familiar and new.
Now, let’s talk about the debut song, “Die Living.” It’s more than just a track—it’s an anthem for living boldly and embracing life to the fullest. The funky production from George Whitty and Ellis’s soaring vocals bring the message of resilience and joy to life. It’s a track that’ll have you tapping your feet and feeling inspired to seize every moment with passion.
WHAT!!!! is the duo making music that makes you want to dance, reflect, and soak in every note. It’s the perfect mix of old-school soul and new energy, and I can’t wait for you to experience it. Whether you’re a die-hard soul fan or new to the genre, there’s something here for everyone.
So, if you’re ready to be part of this musical revolution, hit play on WHAT!!!!—because when legends like Ellis Hall and George Whitty come together, the results are nothing short of spectacular.
