Donnie Releases Single ”America (Do You Wanna Go Higher?)”

Rising Singer Donnie Releases New Single “America (Do You Wanna Go Higher?)

Donnie was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and came from a very religious family (both of his parents were ministers). Singing for a choir at an early age, Donnie soon expanded his musical horizons, as he became influenced equally by such gospel artists as Walter Hawkins and Mahalia Jackson, plus soul and R&B masters like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin. By the early 21st century, Donnie was signed to the Giant Step label, and issued such singles and EPs as “Holiday,” “Masterplan,” “Do You Know?” “Excerpts from the Colored Section,” and “Our New National Anthem.”

The singer’s full-length debut, The Colored Section, was released in November 2002 and eventually picked up for release by Motown. The Daily News, an even more ambitious album, followed for Soul Thought in 2007. His new single, ”America (Do You Wanna Go Higher?) is from his forthcoming album,”The American Mythology: The Musical” in August 2020.

America (Do You Wanna Go Higher?) is an anthem of testimony; a testimony of how far you’ve come. It is a theme song; a sing-along about going to another level and being a better person and better citizen.
