BENSON, N.C. - ncarol.com -- Independent Artist Craigory Dunn Introduces
The Ember Soul Collective, A Groundbreaking AI-Driven R&B and Soul Experience

Independent recording artist and producer Craigory Dunn continues to push the boundaries of modern music with the launch of Craigory Dunn & The Ember Soul Collective, arriving Friday, April 3, 2026, via DistroKid.

Blending faith-rooted soul, contemporary R&B, and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, The Ember Soul Collectiveintroduces a bold new creative model: a fully realized digital ensemble designed to expand and scale Dunn's signature sound beyond the limits of a traditional solo act.

The project follows the release of The Craig Nice Report, which ignited conversation around the role of AI in music creation. While Dunn's solo catalog remains deeply personal, The Ember Soul Collective represents an evolution—transforming AI from a background tool into an intentional, collaborative presence.
