Powerful, infectious and oh-so-timely in its lyrical subject matter, ‘The Only Difference’ is the first single introducing ‘Heavy Rocking Steady’, the forthcoming album from Beatchild & The Slakadeliqs.
Modern soul music performed and arranged in the truest R&B tradition, songwriter Byram Joseph (aka Slakah The Beatchild) is joined on lead vocals by fellow Canadian artist Justin Nozuka whose clean, pure vocal tone lends a new dimension to the song. A forceful call for unity in these uncertain times, ‘The Only Difference’ is driven by dusty piano and rattly acoustic drums, soon joined by a chorus of backing vocals, giving the track a distinctly live feeling.
About the artists:
Coming from a folk and acoustic rock background singer/songwriter Justin Nozuka has released three acclaimed albums, one of which was certified gold in France, with a third soon to be released on fashionable Warner Music affiliate Glassnote.
Beatchild & The Slakadeliqs is a new collaborative project fronted by Slakah the Beatchild, a multi-instrumentalist who earned recognition producing for artists such as Drake, Divine Brown and Miles Jones, not to mention releasing three stunning solo albums on BBE.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

I was 2 years old when this album was recorded, and I didn't discover it until mid 2022. Better late than never, because this is a great album. mikaellindgren
