\"\"<\/p>\n

After the loss of his brother in 2022, Funky DL<\/strong> felt compelled to write an album inspired by the life and the spirit of his older sibling Reuben<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Less than a year apart in age, the two were very close and DL<\/strong> was often captivated by the messages and lessons learnt from his brother.<\/p>\n

The album positively explores the themes and topics of these lessons, including life, time, remembrance, reflection, loss, change, courage and respect; all encompassed with smooth, uplifting beats and powerful chord structures.<\/p>\n

I am Reuben<\/em> is a deeply relatable album for anyone who has lost someone, recognizing the importance of who that loved one was and the meaning they brought, not only into one’s life, but also to the world.<\/p>\n

The only guest feature of the album is Reuben<\/strong> himself, appearing on the title track. The recording was made in previous years, but archived on a hard-drive, never to be heard by all until now.<\/p>\n

Funky DL<\/strong> has created a beautifully poignant and nourishing album, immortalizing his brother’s name, image and voice; creating a requisite gesture that demonstrates his love for who Reuben<\/strong> was.<\/p>\n
