Durell Anthony affirms his place as one of today’s most sincere and essential voices in modern pop soul music. The GRAMMY nominated artist returns this fall with ‘Lovenotes’, a deeply personal and universally resonant ten track album exploring love in its many forms. This project showcases Anthony’s exceptionally smooth vocals, timeless melodies, and emotional storytelling, creating a sound that feels both classic and contemporary. Anchored by the 2024 San Diego Music Award nominated single “One More Night,” ‘Lovenotes’ successfully blends the warmth of classic R&B with contemporary pop polish, reminiscent of John Legend and Leon Bridges. Produced by longtime collaborators Jordan Childs and Keegan Ferrell, the album is rich with expressive piano and layered harmonies.
This project speaks directly to the beauty and intentionality of commitment and lasting love in today’s culture, weaving through themes like devotion on “Satisfied” and vulnerability on “Labyrinth.” Anthony first gained national recognition on Season 20 of NBC’s The Voice, joining John Legend’s team after a powerful rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” and he has since built a reputation as a soulful and grounded storyteller. The message throughout ‘Lovenotes’ is clear: it is both a personal love letter and a universal reminder to cherish those closest to us. Anthony shares, “My hope for Lovenotes is that it reminds people that real love is possible – the kind you grow with, laugh with, cry with, and hold on to.”
