Curtis Marc is a lover who brings a twist to his R&B pop. “My Love” is a lively love song that brings in a Caribbean feel. When you listen to “Laid Back” that same island feel is there but it doesn’t overcrowd the song as a whole. You wouldn’t necessarily compare Curtis Akon, that’s to be said. While they might tour together, they’re totally different artists. “True Love” is another love song from the Florida native. Then you have “Somebody.” It’s the most dance-like track you’ll get from Curtis’ camp. While it’s still a love song, it’s one you can move to. If you like the light sounds of the island and love, and then Curtis Marc is just the artist for you. Check him out now on MTV. (https://www.mtv.com/artists/curtis-marc/)

DeShaun Duron is an R&B artist whose voice comes across clean and personal. “Feelin Myself” has a hype beat but the lyrics come out smooth. This track produced by Luney Tunez sets the mood for the rest to come. “I Would” is a love song to through and through and it’s not a sappy one, but one of realities. “New” has good delivery. The way he kind of speeds up the chorus just a pinch makes it more interesting and dynamic. The R&B style continues on with “Being With You.” It’s a nonstop ride on the soul train with DeShaun Duron.

Mackyntosh’s “Falling in Love” is a record about all the aspects and realities of love done in a mature pop manner. “Murmurs” stays true to its title, that’s for sure. “When I Feel Alone” is a sweet song about not wanting to be solitary. Mackyntosh’s falsetto’s continues to be front and center in the chorus of “From a Distance.” Then you have the poppy ways of “Heart Wide Open” and the instrumental intro of “Peace of Mind” that sets up the song and doesn’t back down. “Sorry That I Wasn’t Enough” almost sounds like “Peanuts” gang when it starts…Comment if you agree. There’s not much to it but the simplicity works. If you’re into music that’s very AC but has pep, check out Mackyntosh’s “Falling in Love.” (https://play.spotify.com/album/2M5NNtxRoIPWSCOnkEfdLH)

Ria Rosae is a skilled R&B artist with EP full of tracks that’ll make you feel audibly good and a few extras just because. “Changes” is a song about falling hard in love and not understanding why.
