Christian Paul

On Christian Paul’s upcoming single “Chapter,” he sings like a seasoned soul-R&B artist. The 20-year-old singer/songwriter endured many obstacles to get here, but as he releases his 2020 debut EP, Christian is geared to maintain authenticity while entering the next chapter in his career.

In 2019, Christian released three singles: “When Love Don’t Love You Back,” “Strong,” and “Rewind,” all showing the soulful angles of his musical personality. Raised on Curtis Mayfield, Otis Redding & D’Angelo, Christian had the soul in him, but he wanted to craft music that could connect to today’s audience. For his new releases, Christian has taken it back to the drawing board, aligning with songwriters/producers Bibi Bourelly, Daecolm, Ebenezer & Glashaus to uncover a new sound within him. Says Christian, “I had to figure out a way to stay true to what makes me me, while also relating to my peers.” The culmination of that discovery is his upcoming EP, starting with the release of “Chapter.”

The song is harmoniously rooted in love. It’s an open book of romance, grounding the airy production with soulful, tangible vocals that travel along a vein of love and affection, while still showcasing the dawn of a rising star who finally has his chance to shine. Christian Paul is ready for the road ahead, with one clear mission to bring the old school and the new school together. “I had to marry those two worlds,” he says, “and while it took a little bit of time, we’ve finally accomplished that.”
