Dezron Douglas and Brandee Younger create “soulful comfort music” on new album

“A spiritual salve.”

Bassist Dezron Douglas and harpist Brandee Younger are releasing their debut album as a duo, called Force Majeure, via International Anthem this December.

During NYC’s lockdown in the Spring of 2020, Douglas and Younger started hosting a weekly series of livestreams from their home, called Force Majeure: Brunch in the Crib with Brandee & Dezron.

The duo subsequently worked with International Anthem to collect 11 pieces from these sessions for the album.

“We vowed to become a part of the resiliency of this city,” recalls Douglas. “The world as a whole saw that arts and entertainment is an integral and vital part of this ‘service’ city.”

Force Majeure follows International Anthem’s release of Angel Bat Dawid & Tha Brothahood new live album, LIVE, this January.
