As I stumbled through the endless scrolls that are the TikTok realm, I found a gem of epic proportions. This man’s name is Romeo+Juliet, which is honestly an SEO nightmare, but the music is so fucking good it makes up for it. I heard probably a fifteen-second clip and was instantly hooked to his wave. “NYC” was the first interaction and it’s a damn near perfect introduction to this world.
The passion flows through every word and floats atop the gentle instrumentation. The layering of keys work pristinely intertwined together to make for a world of bliss. “King David” is beautiful and another example of this man flexing his vocal prowess. “Dive Bar” increases the tempo a bit, but still shows his talents from the pen standpoint. Thoroughly impressed with how mature and seasoned this sounds for such a small following, but that’s gonna change very soon. It’s also such a refreshing take on modern R&B and music, in general, that the respective cuts will only age better with time. Do yourself a favor, get acquainted with Romeo+Juliet, and stream the gas below.
