Avant
For nearly two decades, Avant has blazed the trail with R&B hits, "Read Your Mind," "My First Love," "Separated," and a long list of catalog hits to fill a Quiet Storm format. His latest music project, Can We Fall In Love, is his ninth studio album following the release of The VIII (eight) in 2015. Dropping in Summer 2020, Can We Fall In Love is an open love letter with raw honesty and intensity. Returning once again to add his signature style, producer Travis Sayles (Dark Child Productions) joins forces with Avant's songwriting and lead vocals. Avant says, "It's a different time in the world today and I’m trying to get people back to what real R&B is about. Not just making love but being in love, what happened to that? I think it's important that we delve back into those kinds of things." Featured songs such as "You Don't Love Me No More" reminds us of the challenges of maintaining adversities in relationships, says Avant. "I was having a spat with my lady," he recalls. "It's so many cell phones and distractions that take away your attention from a relationship. It makes you feel like, "Am I here for the kids, the bills--what is it?' I don't feel that presence of love anymore. I was going with that. I wanted to make sure it had a hip hop feel to it. I could've made it a full R&B song, but I didn't want to make another "Separated" either. I wanted to include old school R&B, with the harmonies and notes where they were placed with the horn.
