In 2009, I first heard of Steve Appleton, a British singer-songwriter and producer, whose single Dirty Funk I liked a lot.  A little contradictory, for an artist growing older, Steve nowadays calls himself Stevie.

His new single This Is America was originally released a year ago to little fanfare and only gets its full release right now. “It’s a song that just tells a story about reality and hope,” says Stevie on his returning single. “It can either be literal or can hint towards a metaphor that’s open to interpret.”

This Is America is the first single off his upcoming EP. The track was produced by Danton Supple, who worked with Coldplay, U2 and many more.

Meanwhile, Stevie Appleton is also the featured singer on the single Never Let You Down, by talented Dutch dance producer Trobi.
