Jeff M Dixon

Jeff M. Dixon, American singer of rhythm n’ blues and modern soul, has released his newest pop single and accompanying video, “My Baby,” to extensive critical acclaim. The track is a standard 3:45 minutes long and features the remarkably powerful, beautiful singing of Jeff Dixon. Dixon’s song “My Baby” is about the pain and regret of a bad decision that results in the loss of true love, and Dixon’s commanding performance on the track makes ignoring his heartfelt emotion impossible. “My Baby” is a song that demands sympathy, pulls heartstrings, and proves once and for all that Dixon is a chanteur par excellence in the company of an elite few male vocalists of our time.



The track’s main attraction for music fans is Dixon, himself – or more accurately, his voice. Jeff M. Dixon sings with the control of a surgeon, the heart of a poet, and the restraint of a zen master. He can land a note with perfect pitch and tone, and float on it with perfect balance for exactly the right amount of time before rising to the next plateau or dropping off without doing so ubruptly. He is never minutely guilty of the terrible modern trend Jerry Wexler once termed ‘oversouling.’ Dixon’s phrasing is largely traditional without being predictable, his chord progressions classy and elegant, his poise masculine without being pretentious or macho, his audible presence delicate without being effeminate.



In the video, which is directed by Sean Babas, California-born Dixon sings from the heart in the streets of a small, North American town, lamenting the loss of his love. The video improves upon the single in that viewers are treated to small glimpses of Dixon’s stage performance, including a very small dance treatment that is a Michael Jackson homage with a dash of Fred Astaire for good measure. While the single is itself more than worth the listener’s price of admission, the video is absolutely necessary for viewing at the Jeff M. Dixon fan’s earliest convenience.



Listeners and viewers alike will agree that Dixon is not putting on airs in the smallest way. He is rather the genuine article. “My Baby” is in itself a declaration of earnest repentance, so easily sympathized with that the listener almost feels as if he or she has stumbled into a private affair. Nevertheless, it is Dixon’s aim that the hearer should know his soul. About his personal honesty, he says, “I learned so much from so many people that when I finally found my own voice and style, I couldn’t be anything else but what I am. It’s real…authentic.”
