We Speak R&B
Soul singer, Ol’ June says you’ve gotta add ‘WATER’!💧
🚨NEW MUSIC ALERT
‘WATER’ is the title of the new (r&b/soul) song by up-and-coming soul crooner, Ol’ June. His latest single is another gem showing that he is an artist who is definitely bringing back good ole fashioned soulful r&b music. The song’s arrangement and rich texture are so reminiscent of great sounding music from the 80s, 70s & 60s; which was considered by many to be r&b music’s heyday. While ‘WATER’ feels like good old times and memories, it also sounds very fresh and modern. This unique blend of the best of the old sounds with new ideas can be attributed to the artist himself. Ol’ June is a singer/songwriter with a bright future.
As Ol’ June explains it, “Water is in everything, especially the human body. In fact, 60% of the human body is composed of water. So what that means is that water is a necessity. One could potentially deprive their partner of water, causing them not to grow and maybe even perish.”
One of the lyrics in this new song states, “She has enough sun, placed in the soil where she’s from, but you gotta add water.“
“As a man. I have to not take away from my woman’s greatness. I have to add water. She could have been perfect if she just had her partner add water to her.”, kindly expresses Ol’ June.
“WATER“ is available on all streaming services as of 3/22/24.

EZ Papi leans fully into vulnerability on “Naked”, a moody and emotionally raw R&B single that trades excess for atmosphere, delivering a late-night confessional soaked in tension and honesty.
Built around soft, atmospheric production and restrained vocal delivery, the track unfolds slowly, pulling listeners into its dimly lit world rather than demanding attention outright. There’s a quiet intensity running through the record, with EZ Papi balancing emotional openness against controlled, understated songwriting.
What makes “Naked” stand out is how personal it feels. Originally written years ago during a period heavily influenced by The Weeknd’s darker sonic era, the song has since evolved into something more reflective and self-defined. Instead of sounding like imitation, it now feels like an artist reclaiming his own voice.
Blending touches of early 2000s R&B, Afro-Caribbean rhythm, and modern alternative pop textures, the single creates a sound that feels both familiar and intimate. EZ Papi’s vocal sits front and center throughout, giving the lyrics room to breathe and making every line feel direct and conversational.
More than anything, “Naked” feels like a turning point for an artist stepping away from chasing placement or expectation and fully embracing his own identity. The result is a smooth, emotionally exposed release that proves subtlety can hit just as hard as spectacle.
