Known for blending R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeat, folk, pop, and reggae, SaulPaul’s highly anticipated new album Speak Hope, Sing Joy: Change Maker Music for Kids is out today! Leading up to the release, SaulPaul hosted a series of kid-centered events designed to entertain, inspire, and empower young people to give back to their communities.
In a press release for the album, SaulPaul [Leading with Conviction™ 2018] said, “Creating Speak Hope, Sing Joy: Change Maker Music for Kids has been a heartfelt journey, inspired by my own experiences and the incredible kids I’ve met.” The premise for his seventh studio album was the Be the Change Challenge tour, where the artist visited 100 cities in 32 states and performed for 125,000 students. “This album is meant to be a beacon of hope and joy, encouraging resilience in young listeners. I hope this music helps kids believe in themselves and realize their potential to create positive change.”
On Aug. 28, SaulPaul hosted the Speak Hope Sing Joy #BeTheChange Challenge Kickoff at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas. He invited kids and families from five Austin school districts for a live performance featuring the Speak Hope, Sing Joy youth choir. SaulPaul is also debuting the third part in his film series Musician With a Message: Behind the Music at AFS Cinema in Austin. The final event of the album release weekend is a parade on September 1 to celebrate USA Olympians competing in breakdancing’s debut as an official Olympic sport.
Listen to a recent interview with SaulPaul about the new album:
