K-Major
“I’m Single”
Category V (self-released)
I haven’t written yet written about the Kendricke “K-Major” Brown’s phenomenal new LP, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been listening. The young vocalist is involved with Terius “The-Dream” Nash and Tricky Stewart, and his evocative, heartfelt R&B recalls some of Nash’s most restrained moments. There are plenty of standouts to choose from, but the swelling, sparse “I’m Single” is hitting a particular chord with me at the moment. Over undulating synth washes and a careful piano melody, the Cartersville, GA cries the tears of a Lothario, explaining the fear and lack of trust that keeps him from being real with somebody. It’s a disarming, deeply human admission from a fascinating young artist. Hopefully, Category V is just the beginning of his musical story.
