A resonating call for unity, “American Strong” is the latest single from DPB. Birmingham, AL-based artist David Paul Brooks (DPB) succeeds in this follow-up to his successful single “Peer Pressure,” continue to impress with songwriting that possesses both melodic immediacy and poignant yearning for love and togetherness. “American Strong” also features the artist Ouiwey Collins.
The track is reflective of Brooks’ belief that America was created by God, and that all of its inhabitants are made in his image. That ethos pairs naturally with a hope for everyone to come together, cherishing our similarities — in this case, being made in the image of God — rather than differences.
Soulful guitar twangs and emotive vocal layers traverse into the title-touting proclamation, exuding a smoothly melodic charm as a “love is our mission” ethos is declared. Shades of hip-hop, pop, and soul are apparent in the dynamic vocal pushes — centering around the “all one color” sentiments of unity and striving to “love one another” in the face of societal tumult. “American Strong” is an overall impactful success from DPB.
