Steven Raekwon Reynolds—who makes music under the moniker S. Raekwon—has announced his sophomore album, Steven, out May 3 via Father/Daughter Records. To celebrate the announce, Raekwon has shared the project’s second single, “Old Thing.” On the cut, poppy drums and subtle hand percussion lead the way before Raekwon’s smooth, almost-whispered falsetto gives the song a funky, playful feel.
On the LP, S. Raekwon shared: “I recorded this album last summer in a living room in Southern Illinois with my longtime friend and drummer Mario Malachi. The two of us sat opposite each other around a few microphones, building songs from single takes. I wanted to capture a more raw and direct sound reflective of our live show. Steven is the sound of me holding a mirror up to and reflecting on who I am: the good, the bad, the ugly. It’s about trying to understand the multitudes within me. Through these songs I found that I’m not alone in sometimes feeling like I don't deserve the love that I am given. And learning to accept that love when it’s earned.”
