BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 15, 2023 ~ As Thanksgiving approaches, music and entertainment industry mogul Vassal Benford is feeling grateful. The R&B/jazz keyboardist has released a new single, "Dedication Song," a fusion of traditional jazz and contemporary R&B/hip-hop. The Benford Jazz Label release mixed by acclaimed sound engineer and artist Greg Manning is the most added new single on Billboard's Mediabase chart two weeks running.
Benford has played a role in the creation of more than 58 platinum-selling records as a Grammy-nominated producer, songwriter, musician and record executive in pop, R&B, hip/hop, rock and dance music. He has worked with many superstars, yet jazz remains his humble muse. "Dedication Song" plays like a sensual, ethereal and electronic R&B groove with steamy undertones providing contrast to the poetic notes emoted eloquently from Benford's melodic and agile piano. At its essence, the single is an offering of love reflecting thankfulness.
Benford said about the second single from his forthcoming album "Melody Man," which is due to arrive in April: "Dedication Song is a heartfelt song for all occasions, but this year we're bringing it out for the holiday season. While composing and tracking it in the studio, it filled me with immense feelings of gratitude, especially for my family and my loved ones. We are in strange times and every moment of love counts. Every act of love counts."

His discography now boasts collaborations with DJ Diplo, Toni Braxton, NAS Flo Rida Queen Latifah Mariah Carey Rick Ross Deborah Cox Sheryl Crow U2 Bobby Brown New Edition Lil' Kim Patti LaBelle Faith Evans Chanté Moore Oleta Adams Lisa Stansfield Tramaine Hawkins The Fine Young Cannibals among others.
