IN BRIEF:Powered by a strong family
bond, these five brothers resurrect the goose bump-raising harmonies
and thrilling showmanship that were the hallmarks of groups like
the Jackson 5, New Edition and Boyz II Men. However, Brutha represents
more than just a contemporary facsimile of these popular icons.
Equally talented, the Harrell brothers—Anthony, Jared, Jacob,
Cheyenne and Grady— couple crystal-clear, five-part harmony
with high-energy dance moves and a genuine exuberance for their
craft. In short, Brutha is the real deal: bringing back the magical
group dynamic sorely missing in today’s music. In fact,
Brutha’s natural ability not only netted a recording contract
with Island Def Jam/Goodfellas Entertainment but also an upcoming
BET reality show, “Brother to Brother,” premiering
Nov. 18.
Ranging
in age from 19-25, the brothers Harrell come from a music-loving
family of 13: eight boys and five girls. The Los Angeles-based
quintet’s earliest memories are of their father introducing
them to the artistry of the Jackson 5, Sam Cooke, the Temptations,
New Edition and Boyz II Men. Another major influence was dad
Harrell himself, a former member of an R&B group once signed
to RCA Records.
The lead single “I Can’t Hear the Music” pulsates
with an infectious R&B beat, complemented by the brothers’
distinctive vocals and a spirited rap by Fabolous, the project’s
only guest. The single’s accompanying video, directed
by Jesse Terrero, fittingly captures the group in performance
mode —simultaneously underscoring Brutha’s raw essence
and striking appeal. “We not only pride ourselves on our
a cappella harmonies but thrive on the choreographed precision
moves that take you back to the days when groups moved rather
than just walked around the stage,” says Grady, the eldest
Brutha. “Our sound is fresh and uplifting. It’s
about being young and experiencing life’s ups and downs.”
The brothers’ struggle to fulfill their musical dream—without
compromising their close family ties—is the premise behind
the forthcoming BET reality show, “Brother to Brother.”
Notes group member Anthony, “While other shows have sugarcoated
similar journeys, ours actually shows us laughing as well as
fighting, overcoming issues associated with working in the music
industry as well as the everyday obstacles families experience
living together under one roof.
