Darien Dean, Calvin Francis

A Hideaway debut for New York's nu-soul man, Darien Dean.

With his latest album, 'Departures' riding high in the UK Soul Charts and extensive radio play on Mi-Soul, Solar Radio and JazzFM the soul scene is beginning to feel the full force of this amazing talent.

The full extent of that talent can be measured by a noteworthy list of collaborators on this latest album, including the incomparable songstress Avery*Sunshine (on the instant classic ‘Someone is You’), as well as production helmed by multi-platinum hit-maker Herb Middleton (Mary J. Blige and Usher) and studio veteran Shawn Hibbler (Kindred the Family Soul, Darius Rucker).
