Dantès Alexander, the Chicago Music Award Nominee and self-styled Prince Regent of EDM, has released his latest album 'They Won't Go When I Go' on July 25th, 2024. The album marks a significant evolution in Alexander's musical journey, blending his signature EDM style with gospel elements and featuring collaborations with industry heavyweights.

The 11-track album showcases Alexander's versatility as an artist, incorporating a range of musical styles including house, disco, and neoclassical elements. The project was inspired by the passing of Alexander's parents, lending a deeply personal touch to the lyrics and compositions. Standout tracks include the title song 'They Won't Go Where I Go,' 'WTN,' 'Faith,' and a cover of 'Rolling in the Deep.'

Collaborators on the album include renowned techno DJ Aaron Chase, who brings his pioneering sound to the project, and A.L.Y.S. Music, who contributed to the track 'F.a.i.t.h.' The album also features production work from Java AKA Austin Ambrose, known for his hip-hop productions, and vocal production by Paul Murphy, who has worked with R&B icon Avant and in the gaming industry with Xbox.

Alexander expressed his satisfaction with the project, stating, 'I'm very happy with how the project turned out. We have 11 amazing songs. In my mind, I think it's my most consistent project.' This release solidifies Alexander's position as an innovator in the EDM genre, pushing boundaries by incorporating diverse musical influences.

The album's production quality is notable, with haunting piano melodies, pulsating beats, and Alexander's expanded vocal range creating a cohesive and compelling musical journey. The fusion of EDM with gospel elements represents a bold new direction for Alexander, who has been making waves in the music industry with his genreless approach to sound.

This release comes on the heels of Alexander's previous successes, including his debut albums 'NEW JACK CITY' and 'NEW JACK CITY II: LYFE CYMBOL,' as well as his foray into podcasting with 'The Access Lake Shore Drive' on Spotify. Alexander has also broken ground as the first African American to write, produce, direct, and star in a science fiction radio series, 'Tales from the 6th Dimension,' which airs on WSBC CHICAGO 1240 AM.
