Stream Raheem DeVaughn’s 8th Album ‘What A Time To Be In Love’
For over a decade, singer and songwriter Raheem DeVaughn has been on a mission to create music that evokes change while maintaining the energy of love.
He recently released the powerful and thought-provoking song, “Marvin Used To Say.” The poignant and timely song speaks directly to the ongoing social turmoil and the unfortunate fact that not enough has changed since fellow D.C.-native Marvin Gaye asked “What’s Going On?” nearly 50 years ago.
His eighth studio album “What A Time To Be In Love,” has been globally released on all streaming and download platforms, today, Friday, November 20th, via SRG ILS.
This phenomenal piece of art marks Raheem’s eighth studio album release and is what he describes as, Movement Music. Leading up to the release of What A Time To Be In Love, Raheem DeVaughn blessed his fans with the ultimate treat as he released three-tracks from the album; the thought-provoking Marvin Used to Say, the sensual Mr. Midnight and the new fan-favorite Twilight.
“I have always been part or the culture shift of Soul & R&B from a mixtape level to a mainstream industry level since the early 2000s so album number eight, “What A Time To Be in Love” will be no less then nostalgic vibes that not only speak to the consciousness and social climate on the world, but also to the lover in you. It’s a classic album.”
“What A Time To Be In Love“, was produced entirely by The Colleagues, the project finds the three-time Grammy Nominated crooner fully embracing what he sees as his social responsibility: to inspire and encourage his listeners as they fight for justice and equality. While the album is defined as Movement Music, DeVaughn recognizes the importance of also nurturing and encouraging the emotional connections needed to sustain us during this fight. As such, fans can also expect the new album to embody and reflect the musical legacy that has earned the singer his place amongst R&B royalty as the “Love King.”
Last year UB spoke to Raheem DeVaughn and asked him about his goals when he first dropped “The Love Experience,” “I don’t want to say it like I’m not goal orientated. But I can’t say that I had goals. Other than I wanted to be the greatest! Like I’ve always thought I was the greatest and had as much talent as the next man.” He continued, “That’s with the pen or the microphone. 13 years in now, I do understand the importance of style and grace. I take more seriously, how I look on camera, how I look and in these videos. I do tastemaker events and when I come out on stage my stage presence. And finding who I am and just being comfortable in my own skin.”
