Newcomer Bryant Barnes has risen, painting the R&B scene with the hues of his debut single, Adore You.

From the very first strum of the acoustic guitar, Adore You envelops listeners in a sparse yet poignant soundscape. The production, a collaboration between Casse Lowe and Andrew Luce, showcases the transformative power of simplicity. Adore you is an atmosphere, a mood, a fleeting moment of vulnerability captured in sonic form.

Barnes’ voice, laden with raw sentiment, becomes the beacon guiding us through this sonic odyssey. When he softly inquires, “Are you getting sick of me?”, it resonates as more than just lyrics – it’s a whisper of doubt, a sentiment that many have felt but few have voiced with such authenticity. The chorus, a heartfelt confession, encapsulates the essence of the track: amidst the complexities of relationships and the human psyche, there exists a simple, profound desire to adore and be adored.

While the lyrics offer a glimpse into Barnes’ inner world, it’s the ambiance of Adore You that truly enchants. It’s a song that feels like a memory, a blend of nostalgia and anticipation, a reflection of past regrets and future hopes.
