Kenyon Dixon Talks Being a Grammy Darling, Evoking Jodeci & ‘Disrupting My Normal Catalog’ With New Album ‘Ego Ruins Everything’
The five-time Grammy nominee is ready to level up with his sexy, revelatory new album.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Kenyon Dixon has released his new album, Ego Ruins Everything, last month. The 21-track project marks a significant evolution for Dixon, as he explores modern masculinity, ego, and emotional self-awareness through concept album vignettes. With a fusion of nostalgic '90s/early '00s R&B and contemporary hip-hop influences, Ego Ruins Everything showcases Dixon's growth as an artist.
The album begins with familiar love songs before diving into more complex, morally ambiguous territory. Dixon produced the album with an immersive concept in mind, using "Running" interludes as a sonic motif and a narrative thread throughout the record. The LA-born artist, who has earned five Grammy nominations, insists that all of the album's elements, autobiographical or fictional, are rooted in truth.
