Q

Artists who go by a single name are always expected to live up to the hype. Q (also occasionally known as Q Marsden) takes it one step further and does the unthinkable: actually surpasses it. The Florida-raised R&B wunderkind grew up surrounded by music. His father was a producer for Sean Paul, and his incredibly dynamic voice and striking falsetto range had been developed long before he ever put his voice on record.

This week, we’re featuring his 2022 single “STEREO DRIVER”, currently on the collection “LUV (I KNOW YOU WANT THIS FOR REAL)”. Immediately - the track pays homage to early Prince in beat, tempo, and tone. Effortlessly harmonizing with himself, the track builds in that indescribable 80’s fashion, and we’re treated to the vocal fireworks that make Q stand out so far above the crowd.
