The most noticeable thing about Omaha singer Dominique Morgan is obvious: his voice.

Morgan’s chosen genre is R&B in the hook-and-chorus-mandated sense of pop/soul crooners like Brian McKnight and Luther Vandross. Only Morgan, as in the opening verse of “Don’t You Remember,” is capable of dipping lower and smokier with his voice.

Morgan’s forthcoming album Loveaholics Anonymous is aptly named, full of the soulful romance you’d expect to be there, but tinged with the regret that accentuates the soul even further. It’ll be released on Icon One Music, the Omaha label with which Morgan has been affiliated since 2005.

But Morgan’s voice is not just one in the sense of a soul singer, it’s also a voice that resonates in a community-building sense. He’s hosted the Omaha Hip-Hop awards, where he also took home the nod for Best Male R&B Artist this year. Morgan is working in current collaborations with people like Omaha singer-songwriter CJ Mills and Omaha emcee Marcey Yates.

In terms of social consciousness, you can watch any episode of his web series “The People’s Word,” and Morgan’s social and political convictions shine through, an advocate for Omaha’s LGBT community via the organization Heartland Pride.

And that’s readily evidenced in his song with CJ Mills in their group The Citizens. It’s called “What Can You Do For Me” [and the video premiered yesterday on Hear Nebraska; find it below.]

It’s resonant in the modern political and protest discourses, and the song with its allusions to the fallout surrounding Trayvon Martin’s death, rings as a kind of sequel to Stevie Wonder’s “You Haven’t Done Nothin’.” But the song is earnest in its longing, asking the powers that be exactly that question … what can you do for me? There’s a bridge that could still be mended, and the song is asking for a hand.

Back on the solo front, Loveaholics Anonymous comes out this Saturday digitally and is slated for a Sept. 27  release at Side Door Lounge in Omaha.
