LOVER MAN HEATS UP THE SEASON WITH SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN’

New R&B/Soul EP Grown-Folk Groove to Couples' Holidays

by Dr. Mari Michelle, Elite Values News

Have you felt the magnetic arrival of a new voice in contemporary R&B/Soul: the velvet-baritone sensation known simply as Lover Man? Today marks the highly anticipated release of his debut EP, SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' —a 7-song collection crafted especially for couples who want to keep the season warm, intimate, and beautifully connected.

With a sound dipped in vintage soul, velvet bass tones, and the smoky charisma of a 1970s baritone heartthrob, Lover Man has stepped confidently into the spotlight. The EP blends classic R&B warmth with modern sensuality, offering listeners a soundtrack worthy of candlelit nights, slow dancing in the living room, and the kind of affectionate moments that linger long after the holidays are over.

A SOUND THAT FEELS LIKE HOLIDAY VELVET

From the moment the first track drops, SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' delivers a lush, warm sonic landscape—thick bass lines, velvet harmonies, and groove-laced production that nods to icons like Gil Scott-Heron, Barry White, Bobby Rush, Isaac Hayes, ZZ Hill, Donny Hathaway, ZZ Hill, Johnnie Taylor and Marvin Gaye. Yet Lover Man establishes his own fingerprint: tender storytelling with a confident edge, baritone vocals that feel both grown and grounding, and the unmistakable intention to bring lovers closer.

Each of the seven tracks explores a different dimension of seasonal romance — from rekindled passion by the fireplace to joyful two-step dancing at holiday gatherings, to intimate reflections on love, commitment, and connection in the quiet of winter nights.

What sets this EP apart is Lover Man’s unmistakable dedication to couples. In an age where holiday releases often lean toward the commercial or comedic, SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN' chooses intimacy. These songs celebrate partnership—real partnership—the kind that embraces shared laughter, soft kisses, deep trust, and the refreshing joy of simply being together.

Listeners can expect:

*Slow jams** perfect for late-night holiday cuddles

*Soulful, funky mid-tempos** that spark nostalgic two-step energy

*Smooth spoken-word moments** that lean into Lover Man’s signature baritone charm

*Lyrics written for grown listeners** who want emotional depth, sensual maturity, and musical artistry

A RISING STAR WITH A CLASSIC SOUL

Industry buzz around Lover Man has been building steadily. Early listeners and tastemakers describe his voice as “smoke and honey,” “cinematic,” and “a welcome return to the depth of soul music that defined R&B’s golden era.”

Mixed-genre artist Goddess Sage, who has released multiple music projects including "Imaginary Friend," commented that, “SOME HOLIDAY LOVIN'’ is more than a seasonal project — it’s an offering you can partake in each day of the year you deem special and worthy of intentionally celebrating. Lover Man arrives with intention on each song of this project. He gives couples a soundtrack that honors love with fullness, sensuality, and emotional richness. This is the kind of holiday music we’ve been wanting to add to our playlist.”

If this debut is any indication, Lover Man is poised to become one of the most compelling new artists of the decade.
